Planning your leave: common questions

Will my clients come back after seeing a covering therapist?

Clients with a clear, planned coverage arrangement are more likely to return. It maintains engagement and avoids the feeling of abandonment.

Can I use coverage for a short vacation?

Yes. Coverage can be arranged for any length of time, from a week away to an extended maternity or medical leave.

Does it work for group practices?

Yes. It works for solo clinicians and for group practices that need to cover specific caseloads.
