What Happens If You're Accepted

Being accepted into the ReKindle Specialist Team means you will be eligible to receive client referrals through ReKindle. However, referrals are not guaranteed as clients choose their own counsellor from the website listings.

To increase your chances of receiving referrals, we recommend making your online profile as engaging and informative as possible.

You may:

• Set your own private fee for clients referred through ReKindle – minimum £50.00 per session
• See clients at the ReKindle Centre (required unless you are based a significant distance away, other arrangements can be made once we have a full team working at the ReKindle venue)
