How
do I update my listing?
To update your listing in our THERAPISTS DIRECTORY, all you have to
do is to fill in the Therapists Update Form
on the website, tell us which details you'd like to add, change or
remove, and we'll then update it online for you. (You don't have to
log in and edit your listing yourself on our website.)
This is quite easy to do, and the form has been designed to help you
remember everything you might need to change in your listing at the
same time. It also allows us to process your new information and update
your listing quickly and easily.
Please note: We can only update your listing if your
new details are sent to us through the form.
I don't know my Entry Reference, can I still
update my listing?
You entry reference (starting with a 'T'), was included in your original
confirmation email, and if you have received a renewal reminder, it
can also be found in that email. If you've lost it, you can still
fill in the Update Form, as long as you include one of the therapies
you're listed under. Also make sure that you put your Business or
Practice name down correctly - as it's shown in the heading of your
current listing.
What
can I change in my listing?
You
can change any of the details in your listing, but please bear in
mind that it all has to keep within a certain standard format,
which cannot be exceeded (see below).

How often can I update my details?
There's no limit to how often you can update your
listing with essential changes to your details: ie.
change of contact details, new name/ practice name, address or practice
locations, removing obselete qualifications/ registrations, or therapies
you no longer practice etc.
However, we kindly ask that you don't repeatedly make minor
changes, such as amending a word or two in your profile,
or adding a new qualification every few weeks!. It's far better to
rewrite your profile completely, perhaps once during the year, and
update other details at the same time if you need to.
Can I add another Therapy to my list?
Yes, if you start practising a new therapy, you can select that on
the form, and your listing will be added to the corresponding Therapy
page. It will also show up in the 'Therapies Offered' line of your
listing. (The list of therapies shown in the 'Therapies Offered' line
of your listing, corresponds to the pages you're listed on.)
However, your listing can only be displayed on a maximum of
five different therapy pages, within the Therapists Directory.
That means if you already have five therapies shown
in ‘Therapies Offered' section of your listing, you cannot then
add another one, unless you drop one of your current choices. There's
a place on the form where you can select which therapy to remove,
if required.
If you want to mention additional therapies over and above the five
you already have listed, you can always let people know about these
in your profile on the right hand side of you listing.

What if I practise a new therapy that isn't
listed on the form?
Although we try to offer a good range of Therapy categories, pages
are not available on this website for every single therapy. If you
offer one that isn't included in our Therapy index, again, just mention
it in your profile.
Some individual therapies are combined into a general category (eg.
you'll find Colour Puncture and Aura Soma on the Colour Therapy page),
so please check the Therapy Index first for details of these.
If you practise a specific type of Healing modality
that isn't listed, you can select 'Healing' to be listed under, as
this category is designed to include many different and/or less common
types of healing techniques.
Can I add a new practice address or location
to my listing?
Yes, but remember that the 'New Locations' box on the form is to only
list towns or cities where you either practise or
go to visit clients, not actual practice addresses, and your listing
can only include a maximum of six locations. If you
need any of your current locations removing, please make this clear
on the form, otherwise the new ones you give will be added to the
existing ones in your listing.
If you need to update your practice address, you
can give the details for that further down on the form. You can also
have an additional practice address included in your listing if required
(making two in total), but please make it clear on the form if the
new one is to be added to your listing, or to replace
the existing one.
(There's a box for 'Any further instructions' at the bottom of the
form, if you need to clarify anything.)
Back to Top
Can I add my latest qualifications to my listing?
Yes, there is no limit to how many qualifications or membership details
you add, provided they're relevant to the therapies offered in your
listing. Likewise, if a membership or registration with an organisation
lapses and is not renewed, this should be removed from your listing
as soon as possible. There is room on the form to either add or remove
two sets of qualifications etc.
My profile is out of date, can I change it?
You
can rewrite your profile if you wish, but please bear in mind that
it should not exceed 150 words.
You may find it easier (and so will we!) if you copy and paste the
current profile from your Directory listing into the box, then delete
or add text as required, in the right places. To avoid the need to
keep updating your profile, try not to use time sensitive information,
eg. 'I have been in practice for three years'.
An alternative could be... 'I have been in practice since 2005'.
