Art therapists: individual sessions and materials

Individual art therapy needs time and space: setting out paints, clay or collage, the session itself, then cleaning up and storing the work. If that isn't built into your slots, sessions run into each other. With Book, you set slot lengths that include materials, new clients book a first session on your own booking page, and you book weekly sessions from your list.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples: set your own according to the rules that apply to you.

You create every slot, so leave time before and after each session to set out materials and clean up. The gaps never appear on your page. Say in the description that materials are provided and what clothes to wear.

After the first session, agree a weekly time and book the following sessions yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each. Book doesn't send reminders. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date; don't open public slots at times given to regular clients.

For children, a parent books in their own name with the child's first name and age in the note. Book parent meetings from your list each term.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Tell clients they don't need to explain anything in the note, and use neutral service names, according to the rules that apply to you.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. State your notice policy in the description.

Book doesn't store clinical notes or artwork, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with colleagues, create services per therapist. See the guide on closed group cycles. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
