Local groups are supported by the FHT. They are run by therapists for therapists, and offer a valuable hub to network with like-minded people, gain CPD points and learn from interesting topics within the holistic therapy sector.

The group coordinators are dedicated FHT members, who organise fun and engaging meetings to help support and teach their local therapy community.

Why should I become a coordinator?

Creating your own Local Support Group (LSG) is a rewarding role. Support is given by the FHT LSG Lead, Victoria McIntyre.

There are some fantastic benefits to creating your own group including:

  • Free FHT membership for the entirety of your role* - saving £85 per year.
  • Mentoring from other group Coordinators and support provided by FHT's Lead Coordinator
  • Exclusive marketing supplies, to help with marketing your group
  • Access to the private LSG Coordinator Facebook and WhatsApp group for help and support
  • Free access to the FHT Annual Training Conference
  • To be part of a growing network of inspiring, like-minded people

*Comes into place after six months of being accepted as a coordinator. Insurance fees still apply.

As long as you have been a therapist for over five years, an FHT member for at least one year and are insured to practise (either with the FHT or a third party provider), then the opportunity is there for you.

Local Support Groups are the lifeline of our membership!

Your role as a Group Coordinator is to act as a collective supportive body encouraging all therapists to join our local groups and The FHT, enabling networking and peer support and exchange of information.

Local Support Groups should champion quality standards, good practice, and education.

You should enable support to local therapists and help The FHT to provide the best possible service and help to impact policy in the therapy community.

Hearing from someone who has first-hand experience can give you a better idea of what to expect as a coordinator. Here's what Carole Roberts, Coordinator of the Wrexham local group, has to say about her role:

 “As a local group Coordinator, I believe the local network provides invaluable support for therapists who often work in isolation. The group meetings and regular contact give all therapists local to me the opportunity to network, share concerns and successes, and attend interesting talks.”
