Hi Jon,
The first steps are the most difficult and it looks like you are running into funding difficulties.
How about starting off in a different way, by taking a room ( paying by the session for the space and services only) in a multidisciplinary practice.
You may be able to do a phased start by taking sessions while maintaining some NHS work and/or working in someone else's practice as an Associate.
That side steps e funding issue!
Also your co-workers in the practice will be able to cross refer....
Take a look at
Healthcare On Demand | New, User-Friendly Multidisciplinary Clinics: Guildford and Godalming

Good luck!
Jane
