Partner with Priory

Thinking about moving into private practice but not sure where to start? Or already working independently and looking for the security of regular referrals? Partnering with Priory allows you to build your practice with confidence, without the stress of going it alone.

Priory Hospital Woking is seeking a Sessional Therapist – CBT to join our team. This is a self-employed, sessional role offering flexibility around the centre’s needs and your availability.

At Priory, you’ll be part of a compassionate, multidisciplinary team committed to delivering personalised, evidence-based care that helps people move forward with confidence and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

You will play a key role in patients’ recovery, contributing to assessment, treatment planning, and therapeutic delivery, while working within strong clinical governance frameworks.

What we offer

• Steady patient flow – referrals provided, so you can focus on therapy rather than marketing
• Credibility & trust – work under the nationally recognised Priory brand
• Clinical and admin support – access to clinical space, billing, and administrative support
• Flexibility – choose the days and hours that suit you
• Team connection – the independence of self-employment without professional

Requirements

We welcome applications from therapists able to offer CBT. You will:

• Hold professional registration with HCPC / UKCP / BABCP / BACP / NCPS / BPC / ACAT / ACP (as appropriate)
• Have a minimum of 2 years’ post-qualification experience
• Demonstrate strong clinical judgement and excellent communication skills
• Be confident working within clinical governance frameworks, including digital systems, concise clinical notes, and attendance at risk management meetings

Accreditation
