- Automated email reminders for clients
- Automatic card payments via Stripe (saved cards charged before or after sessions, or secure payment links)
- Payment tracking and reminders for bank transfer and cash
- Calendar sync (ICS feed)
- Practice dashboard and overview
- GDPR-compliant data storage on EU servers
- Client records and history

## How it works

1. **Add your clients.** Set up your profile, sessions, and availability in minutes. Import existing clients or add them one by one.
2. **Run your practice.** Manage sessions, write notes, track payments, and sign contracts from one place. No spreadsheets.
3. **Focus on your clients.** Reminders go out automatically. Cards are charged automatically. Notes are encrypted. You just show up and do the work.

## Pricing

- £29 per therapist per month, or £290 per year (2 months free)

## Who it is for

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I import my existing client data?
Yes. You can add clients manually or the Bloom team can help you migrate from your current system (WriteUpp, Cliniko, or another tool).
