All qualified therapists must ensure that they are fully insured for therapies they offer and must be able to produce evidence of their insurance to their clients and any associations they are members of.

It is highly recommended that students also have adequate insurance cover whilst they are studying.

If you are sued by a client for compensation as a result of providing therapy services, professional liability insurance helps you defend the claim and pay for damages awarded against you as well as your legal defence costs.
