Our story
Designed by therapists, built by software experts.
Real therapy origins
Kate is an NCS-registered therapist with a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Warwick. She runs a private practice in Painswick, Gloucestershire, and founded Earth Wisdom Therapy, a grant-funded Community Interest Company providing reduced-cost counselling across Gloucestershire through a mix of student and qualified therapists.
Before Sessionly, Kate managed both her private practice and the CIC across Google Calendar, spreadsheets, TeamUp, Zoho, and countless Word documents. None of the software she'd tried — and she'd tried a lot — truly reflected how therapists work. Most was built for medical practitioners, while therapy-specific tools often felt overly clinical, Americanised, or poorly suited to UK private practice.
Recognising the need for a single, secure system designed around real therapeutic work, she asked her husband — a Chief Product and Technology Officer — to help build it.
Today, Kate and a growing user-base of therapists and agencies shape Sessionly's product in every meaningful sense.
Deep software experience
Mark Devereux has spent twenty years building secure, scalable software platforms — from start-ups through to enterprise systems serving global user bases. His background spans SaaS platform development and product strategy for both public and private sector, fast-growing organisations.
Sessionly is the combination of counselling operating insight from a working therapist who runs both a private practice and a CIC, and deep technical software expertise from someone who's spent his career building secure, scalable and highly-usable systems where reliability isn't optional. That combination is what makes Sessionly genuinely different from most therapy software available in the UK.
What we believe
Sessionly is built for UK therapists in private practice and agencies, is hosted in the UK and EU, with BACP and NCS-aligned record retention, HMRC-compatible expense tracking, and GDPR-first design throughout. Pricing is honest: £10.99/month for Private Practitioners, £39.99/month flat for Agencies up to 25 therapists. No per-seat exploitation. No essential features hidden behind a higher tier.
Why therapists choose Sessionly
Therapists choose Sessionly because it's built around how counselling work actually happens. UK-hosted, GDPR-first, with the operational tools — outcome measures, funding pots, agency oversight — that other platforms either skip or hide behind enterprise pricing. A growing community of solo practitioners, multi-therapist agencies and grant-funded CICs are using Sessionly every day.
If you're running a UK therapy private practice or a counselling agency and you're tired of working across disparate products or paying a premium for software that doesn't give you a premium experience — try Sessionly free for 14 days. No credit card required.
