Email template to clients describing our referral pool as a shared waiting list.
Subject: Therapy Referral Through PsyConnect
Dear [Client’s Name],
Thanks for contacting me. Unfortunately, I don’t have availability at the moment to take on new clients. However, you might be interested in connecting with another therapist in my network through PsyConnect - a new platform created to help people seeking therapy find well-matched professionals.
Rather than waiting for my availability, PsyConnect acts as a "shared waiting list", where therapists who match your needs can reach out if they have availability.
Browse therapists by selecting any relevant filters (e.g., BUPA, Social Anxiety, Young Person, availability, therapy type).
Submit a general enquiry, and suitable therapists will reach out when they are available.
Alternatively you can also contact specific therapists by yourself if you prefer.
Here is the link to the platform: [Insert Your Referral Link]
If you’d prefer, I can submit the enquiry on your behalf using the information you have already provided to me. In that case, your name and contact details will remain anonymous until a therapist commits to contacting you. If so, please let me know.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
if no other therapist is able to take on the client soon enough and you can later accommodate them yourself and you take them from the pool, you will not be expected to pay the referral fee (as you have referred the client yourself!).
