Complementary Therapist's insurance

Protect yourself, your business and your clients

Tailored insurance designed to protect complementary therapists

Professional Indemnity insurance is crucial for Therapists as it provides coverage for a range of potential risks, including civil liability, legal defense costs, non-payment of fees, and protection against dishonesty. It also offers coverage for complaints to professional bodies and disciplinary hearings.

In the dynamic field of complementary therapy, practitioners may face various challenges, from client claims and legal disputes to issues related to confidentiality and professional conduct. Having a robust insurance policy in place provides a safety net, ensuring that therapists can carry out their work with confidence, knowing they are protected against unforeseen circumstances.

Policy highlights

  • Flexible limits of indemnity - We offer limits of £1.5 million, £3 million, or £5 million, together with a standard Public Liability element of £10 million.
  • Full Civil Liability cover
  • 72 month run-off provision- We provide free coverage after policy expiration, in line with The Limitation Acts, to give you flexibility if you take a break, go on maternity leave, change career, or retire.
  • Protection against dishonesty
  • Confidential information cover - Our policy offers up to £5000 cover for this. 
  • Cover for complaints to your professional body and disciplinary hearings
  • Legal defence costs – we cover legal defence on a “costs in addition” basis, which protects you in the event of a case dragging on and costs mounting up. This means the legal fees are separated from your policy limit. So if your policy limit is £1.5 million, all of those funds are earmarked to pay for damages and settlements.
  • Non-payment of fees cover
  • Directors’ and Officers’ protection - Senior staff can claim up to £80,000 in protection against claims of negligence, to cover defence costs and damages.

Premiums are calculated to reflect the level of risk associated with each therapy
