Are these counsellor templates UK-specific?

Yes. A4 print-ready, GBP, UK conventions for client contracting, fee policy, GDPR for special-category data and ICO-aware paperwork. Templates support your professional body's ethical framework — they don't replace its specific guidance, your insurance or your supervision arrangements.

Does the GDPR notice handle therapeutic notes as special-category data?

Yes. The notice reflects how special-category data (therapeutic notes, mental health information) should be described — lawful basis, retention period, access rights, ICO complaint route. Your specific practice setup may add platform-specific processors; the template flags where to insert them.

Will the MTD compliance kit help with the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes?

Yes. The kit is structured for clean quarterly bookkeeping — categorised income (individual, couple, online, supervision), categorised expenses (insurance, supervision, training, room hire), quarter-by-quarter summary. Submit through MTD-compatible software yourself, or hand the file to your accountant.

Can the pricing calculator handle sliding-scale and missed-session fees?

Yes. The workbook models fees as standard / sliding / concessionary with modifiers for missed-session policy, online-vs-room and length, so you can see what your average session actually earns and where capacity sits.

What file formats do I get?

Most documents are PDFs with a fillable business-name header. Premium adds editable Word (.docx). The pricing calculator and MTD kit are Excel workbooks.

Business documents£11.99

Business Documents — Standard

A counsellor practice lives or dies on the paperwork: consent forms, assessment records, client history, aftercare, GDPR notices, insurance declarations. Patchy or inconsistent forms read as amateur before the first session, and rewriting them each time they're needed eats into practice time that should be going to clients. This Standard pack delivers the 16 documents a counsellor actually uses week to week — Client Intake Registration, Counselling Agreement Contract, Informed Consent, Confidentiality Agreement, Privacy Notice GDPR, Data Consent Form, Risk Assessment, Session Notes Template, plus Safeguarding Disclosure, Client Feedback, Cancellation DNA Record, Referral Form, End of Therapy Summary, Supervision Log, Invoice Receipt and Complaint Procedure. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK-specific terminology, A4 print-ready, no Canva and no monthly software. Built for sole-trader and small-firm UK counsellors and psychotherapists who want one consistent paper trail across every job.

Business documents£5.99

Business Documents — Essential

A counsellor opening the first paid sessions needs client paperwork ready before the first introductory appointment — not the full clinical fleet, just the intake, consent, confidentiality and data basics a counsellor's insurer and professional body both expect. This Essentials kit for a counsellor carries five documents: client intake and registration, a counselling agreement and contract, informed consent, a confidentiality agreement, and the GDPR privacy notice. All five arrive as PDFs with a fillable header — your counselling practice name sits at the top, you print or save, and the first-session folder reads like a counsellor who treats the paperwork with the same care as the conversation. Calmer than improvising confidentiality limits, cleaner than borrowed contracts from training material. A starter kit for the first fee-paying sessions.

Business Documents — Premium

A counsellor's practice is built on the client contract and the client file - every referrer, supervisor and insurer eventually asks for both, and the paperwork has to hold up to the scrutiny of a registering body on a quiet Wednesday afternoon audit by the professional body. LaunchKit Premium for a counsellor covers all 16 business documents as interactive fillable PDF plus editable Word. Intake questionnaire, counselling agreement, informed consent and session summary fill in on a tablet between sessions, and the practice policies, cancellation terms, supervision record, feedback form and GP referral letter rebrand in Word with your practice name, BACP or UKCP registration and branding. GDPR privacy notice, complaint procedure, ending-of-work letter and incident record match in tone. Two formats from one download - the counselling practice's paperwork holds together across the arc of a client's work.

Financial forms£11.99

Financial Forms Bundle — Standard

A counsellor practice needs clear income records across self-pay, insured clients, private referrals and package sales — plus expenses for supplies, CPD, room rental and supervision. Without a consistent financial record, margin visibility disappears and Self Assessment becomes stressful. This Standard pack covers the core financial admin a counsellor business runs day to day — quote and estimate forms, branded invoice templates, self-pay and insured-client payment records, expense logs split between supplies, CPD and room rent, a monthly income summary, a VAT log for those who are registered, and an annual accounts prep sheet. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK Self Assessment categories pre-aligned, A4 print-ready, no monthly software commitment. Built for sole-trader and small-firm counsellors and psychotherapists who want a clean paper trail before year-end.

Financial Forms Bundle — Premium

Counselling practice income is built on client trust, and the financial administration behind it needs to reflect the same confidentiality and professionalism as the sessions themselves. Invoices go to clients or to EAP providers depending on how the referral came in, expenses include supervision, CPD, room hire, and professional memberships, and the records need to be clean enough for BACP or UKCP requirements as well as HMRC. This set covers the financial forms a counselling practice needs: invoices for private clients and EAP referrals, an expense tracker for supervision costs, room hire, insurance, and CPD, a mileage log for home visits or training, a receipt record, and a monthly income tracker. Fillable PDFs for completing between sessions, editable Word documents to add your practice name and professional branding. Financial admin that is as considered as the practice it supports.

MTD compliance£16.99

MTD Compliance Kit — Premium

Making Tax Digital is becoming part of the record-keeping reality for many self-employed counsellors and psychotherapists, and the real headache isn't the rule — it's keeping records clean across a year of self-pay, insured and package-session income, supplies, CPD, supervision fees and room-rent all tracked against the year. This Compliance Kit is an Excel workbook covering Income Tracker, Expense Log, Expense Summary, Quarterly Summary, Annual Summary, Reconciliation, Mileage Log with a simplified-vs-actual switch, Year-End Adjustments, Tax Reserve Scenarios, Evidence Log, Compliance Warnings, Allowable Expenses Guide, Deadline Calendar, Quarterly Checklist, and an Executive Dashboard that surfaces the figures your accountant actually asks for. Available in England and Scotland versions to match where the business is based. Built for UK sole-trader counsellors and psychotherapists who want quarterly review to be a 30-minute job, not a weekend search through receipts. Not a tax-return tool — a record-keeping workbook for organising your figures — a record-keeping foundation that makes filing simpler.

Pricing calculator£14.99

Pricing Calculator — Premium

Counsellors who take the EAP rate as their baseline can find the private-client fee drifting down to match it — and supervision, medico-legal work and group hours get absorbed invisibly. This Premium pricing calculator separates the fee book cleanly. Ten service lines come pre-loaded — individual counselling, couples and relationship counselling, group therapy, online and telephone sessions, Employee Assistance Programme work, corporate contracts, clinical supervision, training and workshops, medico-legal reports, and insurance-funded sessions from Vitality and AXA — each with editable session time and admin overhead input. Enter your hourly rate once and every service rebuilds with margin shown alongside. A quote builder handles corporate and EAP contracts, a session log tracks each client, an expenses tracker keeps overheads visible, and a monthly dashboard shows which work actually pays. Delivered as one Excel workbook for UK counselling practices — no subscription, no login.

Who this is for

Built for counsellor businesses

UK private-practice counsellors — individual, couple, group, online and supervisory work, working under a recognised professional body's ethical framework.

Overview

A clearer way to manage your counsellor paperwork

A counselling practice is regulated by ethics as much as by law — confidentiality, contracting, supervision and the boundary work that keeps practice safe and sustainable. The therapeutic side is your training; the business layer (contracting, fees, GDPR for sensitive personal data, complaint procedure, ICO registration) is what protects practice and client when something has to be reviewed or referred. LaunchKit gives UK counsellors ready-made templates for that whole layer: business documents (client contract, intake form, fee policy, GDPR notice for special-category data, complaint procedure, ending-of-work record), financial trackers and invoicing, an MTD-ready bookkeeping kit aligned to the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes, a pricing calculator that handles individual, couple, online and supervision rates, an AI copy kit for practice-side comms with appropriate boundaries, and a startup guide. Every template is UK-specific, A4 print-ready, and structured around how UK private-practice counsellors actually onboard, contract and close — practice-led, ethics-bound, with contracting that supports your professional body's framework rather than replacing it.

What we solve

Common UK admin problems we solve

Client contracts started informally, then under-specified when fees, missed sessions, supervision boundaries or ending-of-work need to be referenced
GDPR handling for special-category therapeutic notes inconsistent — held in mixed paper / cloud / device locations with no clean retention policy
Fee policy ambiguous on missed-session charges, late-payment, sliding scale, and the conversation has to happen reactively when a client queries
Self-assessment compiled each January from card statements, online-platform takings and cash sessions, with MTD ITSA quarterly reporting from April 2026 now in scope
ICO registration, professional indemnity insurance and supervision frequency tracked informally, with renewals creeping up
The same enquiry replies, intake confirmations and ending-of-work emails rewritten from blank every time
