Everything a private practice runs on

Stop stitching together a calendar, a spreadsheet, a payment link and an invoicing app.

  • Bookings that look after themselves

    Set your working hours once. Clients book and pay online, and sessions sync with the calendar you already use.

  • Every client in one place

    Session history, contact details and DASS-21 scores over time, so you can see progress at a glance.

  • Clinical notes, kept securely

    Write session notes from templates, stored with each client's record rather than in a notebook or a spreadsheet.

  • Paid without chasing

    Clients pay by card through BestTalk. Invoices are issued in your name, and your earnings are paid out to your bank every week.

  • Video sessions built in

    Connect Zoom once and your sessions get their meeting links automatically, so there is nothing to send by hand.

  • Your own profile page

    A professional profile with your photo, approach and fees, so clients know who they are booking with.

See your whole week at a glance

Every booked session, cancellation and free slot in one calendar, kept in step with the calendar you already use.

Track progress, not paperwork

Each client's DASS-21 scores are charted over time on their record, right next to your session history and notes.

Want new clients too? That's optional.

BestTalk also helps people find the right psychologist. Once your profile is complete you can ask to be listed in our matching service, and we will recommend you to people looking for help with the conditions you work with. We review every profile before it is listed.

Questions

Can I use BestTalk just for my existing clients?

Yes. That is what most psychologists start with. Add your clients and run your practice from one place. Being listed for new clients is optional.

What counts as an active client on the Free Starter Tier - 3 Customer max plan?

A client with a session booked, or who has had one with you in the last 90 days. Clients who have finished therapy stop counting towards the limit of 3.

Do I need a card to sign up?

No. The Free Starter Tier - 3 Customer max plan is free for as long as you stay within it. When you move to Standard, your first month is free, and the monthly fee is then taken from your payouts.

How do clients pay, and when do I get paid?

Clients pay by card through BestTalk. We issue the invoice in your name and pay your earnings into your bank account weekly, less the card processing fee.

Will BestTalk send me new clients?

If you would like it to. Once your profile is complete you can ask to be listed in our matching service, which recommends psychologists to people looking for help. We review your profile first, and introduced clients carry a commission.

Where is client data stored?

In Microsoft Azure data centres in the UK. You remain the data controller for your own clients, and we act as your processor under a data processing agreement.
