FETC Affinity Insurance Scheme

FETC have partnered with Balens Specialist Insurance Brokers to provide our FETC members with a bespoke Affinity Scheme Insurance Policy. This has been painstakingly designed to cover Emotional Therapeutic Counselling whilst remaining flexible enough to add other modalities and non-psychotherapy therapies to this.

Who are Balens?

Balens are a well-established, fourth generation family business who specialise in Fitness, Health & Wellbeing, Beauty Therapy and other Health Professionals and organisations. Balens are experts in the development of insurance wordings for Health & Wellbeing Professionals. These wordings are, in our opinion, one of the widest available on market and include important features that other available, cheaper insurance packages may not include. Balens have always regarded claims support, quality cover and personal service as their main strengths.

What does the FETC Affinity Insurance Scheme Policy Cover?

We have devised a policy specifically for individuals who are members or student members of FETC. The policy will cover Professional, Public & Products Liability and includes a Legal Expenses policy. Balens policies can cover a number of different activities subject to you holding a qualification. Please note if your qualification was obtained solely online or via distance learning please contact Balens for further guidance.

Where does it cover?

Our FETC Scheme provides temporary cover to people on courses or for clinical visits in Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, Republic of Ireland, The Netherlands and France. Others will follow shortly. Balens can now also offer policies in South Africa through Balens International SA (PTY) Ltd.

If the country you require cover for is not listed they can put your details on their database and will inform you when it is ready.

Please contact Balens for more information or if you require a permanent non-UK policy as they can offer this outside of the FETC scheme.
