The right software takes most of it off your plate. Here is our honest guide to the best options for UK therapists in 2026. ## Quick comparison | Tool | Price | Best for | UK-based | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | WriteUpp | £19.95/mo+ | General healthcare | No (UK-founded, now Canadian-owned) | | Cliniko | ~£35/mo (AUD) | Allied health | No (Australia) | | Kiku | ~£16-17/mo | Therapists | Yes | | Semble | £119/mo+ | Medical practices | Yes | | Jane App | ~£54/mo (CAD) | Broad healthcare | No (Canada) | | Zanda | ~£15/mo (USD) | Allied health | No (Australia) | | Konfidens | £19-29/mo | Therapists | No (Norway) | | SimplePractice | ~£40/mo (USD) | US therapists | No (USA) | | bacpac | ~£18/mo | Counsellors | Yes | | PracticePal | £25/mo+ | Allied health | Yes | | Bloom | £29/mo | Therapists & counsellors | Yes | ## What to look for in practice management software - UK GDPR compliance and ICO registration - Session note encryption (not just “secure hosting”) - Pricing transparency in GBP - Therapy-specific features vs generic healthcare tools - UK-based support ## WriteUpp WriteUpp has been a popular choice for UK healthcare practitioners for years. It covers the basics: scheduling, client records, and appointment reminders. Pricing starts at £19.95/month. The interface is starting to show its age, and there is no note encryption or built-in counselling agreement signing. Under new ownership it now prices and markets separately for Canada.

It is powerful, but it is designed for clinical settings rather than talking therapies. Pricing is in AUD (around £35/month), and support hours are Australian timezone. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/cliniko ## Kiku Kiku is built by therapists, for therapists, and you can tell. It is affordable (from around £16/month) and covers the essentials well. Where it falls short is in note encryption, e-signatures, and scheduling depth. A solid choice for therapists who want something simple and affordable.

That is overkill for most solo therapists or small practices. If you do not need lab integrations, prescribing tools, or CQC compliance, you are paying for features you will never touch. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/semble ## Jane App Jane App is beautifully designed and popular in Canada. For UK therapists, the main issues are CAD pricing (around £54/month after conversion), North American support hours, and features built around clinical rather than therapeutic workflows. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/jane-app ## Zanda Zanda (formerly Power Diary) has been around for 15 years. It is feature-rich but complex, and its roots in Australian allied health mean the workflows are not tailored to UK talking therapies. SMS reminders cost extra on top of subscription fees. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/zanda ## Konfidens Konfidens is a thoughtful tool originally from Norway, with strong video call integration and a therapist directory. The Solo plan (£19/month) limits you to 20 clients. The Pro plan (£29/month) removes that limit but still lacks e-signatures and automated onboarding. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/konfidens ## SimplePractice SimplePractice is the market leader in the US. But it is built around American healthcare: insurance billing, HIPAA compliance, CPT codes. For UK therapists, you are paying USD prices for features designed for a different system entirely. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/simplepractice ## bacpac bacpac was developed with BACP and has strong roots in the UK counselling community. It covers the basics of client records and scheduling. It lacks encrypted notes, payment tracking, e-signatures, and a modern interface, but it is affordable and familiar. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/bacpac ## PracticePal PracticePal has been serving UK practitioners since 2006. The base price is reasonable but add-ons for booking, notes, and marketing push the real cost higher. The interface feels dated, and there are no encrypted notes or automated onboarding. Full comparison: https://www.trybloom.co.uk/alternative/practicepal ## Bloom Bloom is practice management software built specifically for UK therapists and counsellors. Scheduling, encrypted session notes, automated client onboarding with e-signatures, automatic card payments, and a public booking page - all for £29/month, or £290/year with 2 months free. No add-on fees, no contracts.
