What is a Therapist invoice?

A therapist invoice covers talk therapy and psychotherapy services delivered by a trained counsellor or psychotherapist in private practice. Therapists work with clients on a wide range of presentations including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and personal growth. Unlike clinical psychologists, counsellors and psychotherapists are not subject to statutory regulation in the UK (though registration with BACP, UKCP, or BABCP is strongly recommended). Invoices cover individual sessions, couples sessions, group therapy, telephone and online sessions, and supervision. Private health insurers (Bupa, AXA, Vitality) cover psychotherapy under some policies, requiring invoices in specific formats. Therapy is a confidential service and invoices should be sent securely.

How to invoice as a therapist

Issue invoices after each session or weekly for multiple sessions. Send invoices securely (encrypted email, client portal). Most therapists collect payment on the day of the session or within 7 days.

Frequently asked questions

Is therapy VAT-exempt?
Psychotherapy and counselling provided by appropriately qualified therapists for the treatment of a mental health condition can qualify for VAT exemption under the medical exemption. The exemption is complex; seek professional advice if uncertain about your VAT position.
How do I invoice clients with private health insurance?
Register with the major insurers (Bupa, AXA, Vitality) as a preferred provider. Each has specific claim processes. Get pre-authorisation before starting sessions. Submit invoices via the insurer's portal.
How do I handle payment for reduced-fee (sliding scale) clients?
Invoice at the agreed sliding scale fee. Note the standard fee and the reduced fee on the invoice if you wish to show the concession. Keep records of sliding scale arrangements for your accounts.
What should I do about missed appointments?
A 24-48 hour cancellation policy is standard. State it in your therapy agreement (therapeutic contract). Charge for late cancellations as you would for a session. This protects your income and sets clear therapeutic boundaries.
Should I send invoices by email?
Yes, but use secure or confidential delivery where possible. Avoid including clinical details on invoices. Use a client reference or number rather than full clinical information to protect confidentiality.
