Who we are
More than a therapy centre
Since 2003 our multidisciplinary team has delivered hypnotherapy, counselling, CBT, EMDR and integrated approaches, online and from our clinic in Hampshire. We work with anxiety, trauma, relationships, habits and confidence, and we do it with warmth, expertise and high standards of care.
We believe the quality of the team is everything. Our practitioners are qualified and accredited, and beyond that they are genuine, empathetic people who share a commitment to client-centred, results-focused work.
Working with us means a supportive, collaborative environment where your expertise is valued, your development is encouraged, and you make a real difference every day.
Current opportunities
Two ways to work with us
Hypnotherapy, counselling, CBT, EMDR, psychotherapy, or a blend of approaches.
In person, Fareham
At our clinic at Arena Offices, Lancaster Court. Free parking, easy reach of the M27 and M3, and rooms set up properly for therapy rather than borrowed office space.
Online, UK wide
Working with clients across the UK and internationally over secure video, from wherever you are based. Many of our team do a mix of both.
The honest pitch
Why therapists choose OLIP
A steady flow of clients
People who have already decided they want to change, and who arrive ready to engage. No marketing spend of your own, no chasing enquiries.
The admin handled
Enquiries, bookings, reminders, payments and the paperwork taken care of, so your day is the work itself rather than everything around it.
A real team, not a directory
A group of specialists who actually know each other, refer between themselves and talk cases through. Private practice can be lonely. This is not that.
Work the way that suits you
In person, fully online, or a hybrid. Your hours and your caseload, agreed with you rather than handed to you.
An award-winning name
Practice of the Year 2025, with 396 five star Google reviews behind you when a new client is deciding whether to book.
Room to develop
Professional development in a forward-thinking, ethical practice that takes CPD seriously, alongside colleagues in other modalities.
Before you apply
Who we are looking for
We would rather be clear up front than waste your time, so here is what we need.
- Fully qualified and accredited with a recognised professional body such as the BACP, NCPS, NCH or equivalent
- Post-qualification experience in practice, rather than newly qualified or still in training
- Your own professional indemnity insurance and current supervision arrangements
- An enhanced DBS check, or willingness to obtain one
- An ethos that is compassionate as well as professional, which matters to us as much as the qualifications
If you are still training or newly qualified, do get in touch anyway and tell us where you are up to. We cannot always help immediately, but we would rather know you exist.

Send your CV and a short covering note, or call for an informal chat first if you would rather ask a few questions before committing anything to paper.
Good to know
Questions therapists ask us
What is the working arrangement?
Our practitioners work with us on a self-employed basis. The exact arrangement depends on whether you are working in person, online or both, and on the hours you want. We will set it out clearly at the initial conversation, before you commit to anything.
Do I need to bring my own clients?
No. Client enquiries come through the practice, and we handle the enquiry, the matching and the booking. Many of our team join precisely because they would rather spend their time doing the work than marketing themselves.
How many hours do I need to commit to?
It is flexible, and we would rather agree something realistic than have you overstretched. Some of our team work a couple of days a week alongside other commitments, others are with us full time. Tell us what you are looking for.
Can I keep my own private practice alongside this?
In most cases yes, and several of our team do. It is worth raising early so we can talk through how the two would sit together.
What qualifications do you require?
Full qualification and accreditation with a recognised body such as the BACP, NCPS, NCH or equivalent, along with post-qualification experience, your own professional indemnity insurance, current supervision and an enhanced DBS check.
I am newly qualified. Is it worth applying?
We are usually looking for experienced practitioners, so we may not be able to take you on straight away. Do still get in touch and tell us where you are up to, because it is a good deal easier to come back to someone we already know about.
Do I need to live near Fareham?
Not if you are working online. For in person work you would need to be within reasonable reach of the clinic. Plenty of our team do a mix, coming in for some days and working online for others.
Do you provide supervision?
You would be expected to have your own supervision arrangements in place, as your professional body requires. That said, you would not be working in isolation. We talk cases through as a team and there is always someone to think out loud with.
What is the process and how long does it take?
Send your CV and a covering note, then an initial conversation, then meeting the team if it feels right on both sides. We read every application ourselves and reply to all of them, including the ones we cannot take forward.
Do you have vacancies right now?
Availability is limited and changes through the year. Even if we are full at the moment, we would rather hear from you than miss you, and we keep good applications on file with your permission.
