Apply for work

For registered professionals — psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, doctors and psychiatric nurses. We check your registration with the council before approving anybody, and you always set your own rate.

How this works, before you apply
What this is
  • We do not charge the people who come to us anything — not for the groups, the questions, the courses or the helplines. That is the whole purpose of this platform and it stays free.
  • It is a charity project, not a commercial one. Nobody who comes to us for help is ever asked for money, and nobody ever will be.
What we ask of you
  • Professionals help in our WhatsApp groups and community — basic questions, answered honestly.
  • No active selling in the groups.
  • There is no restriction of hours. A few messages and a few replies to problems is genuinely enough.
  • That is our only condition.
What you get
  • Anyone who wants paid or regular sessions books them with you directly.
  • You are paid directly by the patient, in advance.
  • Your fee is yours to set and we never change it. Nothing is deducted and nothing is held by us - the patient pays you in full and directly.
  • For a session we introduced, 10% of the fee comes back to us afterwards, towards the video rooms, the booking system and the running costs. You send it on after the session; it is never deducted or held. Nothing is owed on patients who did not come through us, and the people who come to us are never charged for anything.
  • You can offer free introduction sessions if you want to - half an hour, for somebody to meet you and decide. They are optional, there is nothing to send on for them, and a free session is an introduction rather than treatment.
  • The professionals who help with day-to-day queries are the ones we refer paid sessions to.
What you can do
  • Answer day-to-day questions in the groups, in Urdu, Roman Urdu or English — whatever the person wrote in.
  • Say plainly when something needs a doctor, a diagnosis or medication rather than a group.
  • Take anyone who wants paid or regular sessions into your own practice, on your own terms and your own fee.
  • Tell people you are a psychologist or psychiatrist, and what you work with. That is why you are here.
  • Step back whenever you need to. There is no rota and nobody is counting.
What you cannot do
  • No selling in the groups — no services, no price lists, no links to your own booking page.
  • No naming medicines or doses. People act on what they read here and only their own doctor knows what is safe for them.
  • No diagnosing anybody in the group. You have not examined them and the whole room is reading.
  • No private messaging a member who has not asked you to. If somebody wants you, they will say so.
  • No screenshots and nothing repeated outside. What is said in there stays in there.
  • No arguing about religion or politics, and no judging anybody for what they are carrying.
Who comes to us
  • People join our groups. Some get what they need and leave. Some want face-to-face meetings.
  • We get all sorts.
The groups
  • They are a safe place for people to share problems without being judged.
  • Chit Chat is the group where they can talk about anything.
  • Staff/Admin is where all the professionals are.

Before you apply, read our risk and crisis protocol — what happens when a person here is at risk, what we ask of you, and what we do not provide. It names plainly that we do not supervise clinical practice or carry your indemnity.

Applying for Child and adolescent psychologist — experienced. Read the role again or pick a different one. Your profession is filled in below; change it if we guessed wrong.

Languages you can work in
What you work with

Tick at least one. Tick everything you are comfortable taking. This is how we match a person to the right clinician rather than to whoever is free, so it is worth being honest about what you do not take as well.

Your sessions

You set your own fee and we do not change it, take a cut of it or hold it — the person pays you directly. We need it on file because somebody asking for help is told what a session costs before they are introduced to you, so nobody arrives at your door with the wrong idea about money. Your fee is shown on your public page, in your own currency, so that somebody deciding whether they can afford a session does not have to write in and ask.

Urgent work

Sometimes someone is deteriorating and needs to be seen within hours rather than in three weeks. If you are willing to take that kind of referral, tell us now — asking in the middle of it is too late. This is not an emergency service. Anyone whose life is at immediate risk is sent to emergency services and a checked helpline, not to a booking.

Being listed publicly

People searching for help in their own city is how most of them find anyone at all. Once approved, you will be listed in our public directory under the areas you cover — you can ask to be taken off the listing at any time.

Areas you cover

What would be shown, once approved: your name, photo, profession, qualifications, languages and the areas you cover. Never your phone number, email, home address or CV — enquiries come through us.
