Sessional Therapist - Family

Partner with Priory

Are you an experienced Family Therapist looking for greater flexibility, a steady source of referrals, or an opportunity to develop your private practice?

Building a successful independent practice can be rewarding, but finding clients and establishing a consistent referral network can take time. At Priory, we offer the opportunity to focus on what you do best — delivering high-quality therapeutic care — while benefiting from the support of an established healthcare provider.

Priory Hospital Roehampton is looking for a Sessional Family Therapist to join our clinical team on a self-employed basis.

Whether you're an established independent practitioner or exploring private practice for the first time, this opportunity allows you to work flexibly alongside other professional commitments.

You'll deliver personalised, one-to-one therapeutic support, helping clients navigate challenges and work towards positive, meaningful outcomes. Sessions may be delivered face-to-face within our clinical environment or online, depending on service needs.

What makes partnering with Priory different?

Professional independence: Maintain the flexibility of self-employed practice.

Established referral pathways: Benefit from opportunities to receive referrals through Priory's network.

Clinical collaboration: Work alongside experienced professionals within a supportive healthcare setting.

Flexible working: Arrange sessions around service requirements and your availability.

Practice development: Build your experience and expand your independent practice without starting entirely from scratch.

Your expertise. Your flexibility. Our support.

If you're ready to explore how partnering with Priory could complement your professional journey, we'd love to hear from you.

• Credibility & trust – work under the nationally recognised Priory brand
• Clinical and admin support – access to clinical space, billing, and administrative support
