UPDATE: We are currently looking for qualified therapists to join our roster of industry support. If you have the relevant qualifications and are interested, please contact us at info@applauseforthought.co.uk
Our Applause for Thought support roster contains contact information for a variety of specialists including counsellors, psychotherapists and coaches who offer their services to those associated with AFT at a discounted rate. To become a member of AFT’s support roster, each individual has had to declare their professional status, insurance and proficiency in training, as well as their experience of working with those in the arts industry with a diverse range of identities and lived experiences. We at AFT are unable to guarantee each specialist’s availability as they work independently. For all enquiries, please get in touch with the specialist directly. If you have any questions regarding our support roster, or would like to find out more information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at info@applauseforthought.co.uk.
