What is an Addiction Counsellor invoice?

An addiction counsellor invoice covers counselling and therapeutic support for individuals dealing with substance use disorders, behavioural addictions, and recovery maintenance. Addiction counsellors may work for treatment charities, residential rehab services, or in private practice. Professional bodies include NCAC (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and FDAP (Federation of Drug and Alcohol Professionals). Private addiction counsellors invoice clients, private health insurers, and EAP providers. Group therapy, relapse prevention work, and family counselling are distinct billable services. Recovery coaching (a peer-based, non-clinical model) is priced differently from qualified clinical counselling.

Frequently asked questions

Is addiction counselling VAT-exempt?
Clinical counselling for the treatment of addiction provided by qualified counsellors may qualify for VAT exemption. Recovery coaching without a clinical qualification is subject to VAT. Take specific professional advice.
How do I price private addiction counselling?
Private addiction counselling sessions in the UK run £60-£120 for 50 minutes depending on qualifications and location. Intensive programmes (multiple sessions per week) may be offered at a package discount.
Should I invoice family members separately?
Family therapy sessions involve the whole family but are typically invoiced as one session fee per appointment, not per person. Family sessions run longer (90 minutes) and should be priced accordingly.
What is recovery coaching versus counselling?
Recovery coaching is peer-based, non-clinical support using lived experience. Counselling is clinical, provided by qualified therapists. These are different services and should be invoiced at different rates with clear service descriptions.
How do I handle clients in financial difficulty?
Addiction can cause significant financial disruption. A clear but compassionate payment policy, with a sliding scale for private clients, is appropriate. Some addiction counsellors offer low-cost charity sessions alongside their private practice.
