Future-Edge Therapy licenses a small number of carefully selected people each year to deliver our proprietary trauma-resolution work — the Integrated Therapy System™, The S-Shift System® and TheraCoachPro® — under our established, award-winning brand.
This is not a course. It is not a franchise. And it is certainly not a scheme.
It is a complete, licensed practice: full training and accreditation, a proven methodology that resolves trauma at the root rather than managing symptoms, and the brand, referral network and ongoing supervision to build a practice that lasts.
Build a Trauma Recovery Practice That Actually Works — For Your Clients and For You.
Most people who could do this work brilliantly never get the chance, for one of three reasons.
Some are already qualified therapists — working hard inside systems that reward throughput over transformation. They watch clients plateau on single sessions and waiting lists, and they know there’s a better way — they just don’t have the framework, or the freedom, to deliver it.
Some have spent decades on the front line — policing, the military, the emergency services, nursing, teaching, social work. They’ve supported people through the worst moments of their lives and understand human distress in a way no diploma can teach. But they’ve been told, in a qualifications-obsessed world, that their experience doesn’t count.
And some are already out there practising — coaches, hypnotherapists, counsellors — passionate and capable, but working alone, without a system, watching their diary empty and refill unpredictably every month.
We built this licensing pathway for all three. Because what unites them matters more than what separates them: integrity, life experience, and a genuine drive to help people recover — properly, and for good.
As a licensee, you receive:
In the Integrated Therapy System™, The S-Shift System® and TheraCoachPro® — no prior clinical qualification required.
A decade of trust you don’t have to build from scratch.
Access to our enquiry flow, waiting list and referral network, so you’re not starting at zero.
You will never be doing this alone.
Systems, standards and support to run a sustainable, profitable practice.
We never expect a child to walk into our clinic and start pouring their heart out. Our process is built entirely around their comfort level, ensuring they feel respected, in control, and completely safe.
It’s the same methodology behind our award-winning practice in Bedford, our 129+ five-star client reviews, and recognition including Mental Health Care Organisation of the Year, Service Excellence and the National Business Owners of the Year Award.
We licence a small number of people, deliberately. Every licensee represents our name and our clients’ safety.
You may be right for this if you:
Everything about this pathway is built around responsibility — to clients first, then to licensees, then to the reputation of trauma-resolution work itself.
Licensed practitioners work within the framework as designed, uphold clear ethical and professional boundaries, engage in supervision and ongoing development, and always prioritise client safety over outcomes.
Licensing is application-led, and selection is genuinely two-way.
The process is straightforward:
1. Register your interest using the form below
2. We’ll arrange a conversation — informal, honest, no pressure — with founders Bonita and Claire Ackerman du Preez
3. We explore fit together — your experience, your values, what you want to build, and whether this framework is the right vehicle for it
4. If it’s right on both sides, we’ll set out exactly what happens next — investment, training dates and onboarding
There are no guarantees of acceptance, and we’d rather turn away a poor fit than dilute what this stands for. If you’ve spent your career being sold to, you’ll recognise the difference.
If any of this sounds like you — the therapist who knows there’s more, the professional ready for a second career that means something, or the practitioner who’s done everything right and still can’t make it work alone — we’d like to hear from you.
Registering your interest commits you to nothing. It simply starts an honest conversation.
If you’d like to explore whether Future-Edge Therapy is right for you, complete our contact form and a member of our team will be in touch promptly.
A member of our team will review your enquiry carefully and respond if appropriate, usually within 1-2 working days.
Please note that submitting this form does not create a therapeutic relationship or guarantee suitability. If we believe another pathway would better support your needs, we will let you know.
