Working as a private therapist has allowed me to develop my practice overall. The team at Clapham are extremely helpful and very efficient. The rooms are a good size and feel welcoming.

Private Practice at The Awareness Centre
Whether you are starting out in your career or are an established therapist, The Awareness Centre (TAC), with locations in Clapham and Tooting, South London, is an ideal choice to develop your private practice. We would like to hear from counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and psychosexual & relationship therapists who are ready to join our busy therapeutic community.
We’ll help you to increase your client base through referrals to your private practice at The Awareness Centre, as well as to your private practices elsewhere in London and online. It’s an effective way to grow your client base quickly and professionally.

What therapists say about working in private practice at The Awareness Centre
I find the physical environment at TAC excellent in all ways – the room, the kitchen and toilets, the intercom, everything. I find the staff very easy to communicate with and always very helpful.
TAC the place to learn, heal, be supportive and thrive as I started building up my practice with so many referals from the FHO who’s really kind and professional. I also appreciate the management at every time I faced with issues they always there to help and support, I basically would not do without you all.
I have seen how this service not only always has its open doors for local community but also is one of the few places in london that offers equality and diversity to both therpaists and clients. I highly recommend to take on a therapy room – which is very neat and very convenient for travelling. I know I won’t be able to speak more words to describe my gratitude for you all. From my heart.
