S5 | E8 Psychotherapist Salary in UK: How Much do Therapists Actually Make?
I often get asked, “How much can you really make as a therapist in the UK?” So today, I’m giving you a real-world example by breaking down how a therapist could earn £100,000 a year. I’ll walk you through the maths, from the number of clients you need to see each week, to pricing strategies, work weeks, and of course, those yearly expenses that all therapists have to account for. It’s not just about income — it's about the bigger picture and knowing how to plan for a sustainable career.
