Confident Therapist HubFind colleagues to hold your clinical will
Our professional bodies expect us to have arrangements in place if we suddenly become unable to practise. The exact requirements vary depending on who you're registered with, but having a trusted colleague who can step in and reach out to our clients is at the heart of it.
These circles bring together colleagues who'd like a clinical executor and are willing to be one, in small groups of three with a private space to talk. Each circle also receives Joel Bild's circle template and guidance to help you shape your agreement.

How it works
- 1.
Register your interest. It takes a minute.
- 2.
I look at everyone waiting and introduce three colleagues who practise in the same country and whose practices fit: professional body, way of working, and whether you see children or young people.
- 3.
The three of you get a private circle on Reflect Together, with a chat, suggested first steps, and starting resources to help you work through things together. Only the three of you can see it.
- 4.
You arrange a first call to see whether it feels right. If it does, you agree who acts for whom, so each of you has a main clinical executor and a backup.
- 5.
Once a year, a short check-in keeps everyone's details up to date.
Why three
If one of you becomes unwell, moves on or is away, there is still a backup who already knows you and your practice. Three is also small enough to get to know each other properly.
What this does
- Introduces you to two colleagues who'd also like a clinical executor
- Gives the three of you a private space to talk and arrange things
- Offers suggested first steps and resources, so you have a clear place to start
- Stays free
What it can't do
- Write your clinical will for you, or give legal advice
- Vouch for anyone's suitability. The first call is where you decide
- Make the agreement on your behalf. That's between you and your colleagues
