Things to weigh up
- Reach. Established directories have been running for many years and are well known to the public. Therapist Circle is new and smaller, so you may receive fewer enquiries.
- Professions. Therapist Circle lists practitioners across therapy and allied professions. Some directories focus on one profession or one membership body.
- Features. Paid directories may offer features Therapist Circle does not, such as enhanced profiles, statistics or support teams. Check each provider's site for what is included.
- Listing in more than one place. Many practitioners use several directories. Joining Therapist Circle does not stop you listing elsewhere.
