Online booking for psychologists

For many people, the hardest step is the first contact. Calling a practice, reaching a voicemail and leaving a message about why they want to see someone is enough to make some give up. An online booking page lowers that barrier: the person reads how you work, sees the price and length of a session, and books a first appointment without having to explain anything on the phone.

On your side, sessions of around 50 minutes leave little room between clients, and you shouldn't be answering the phone during a session. Every booking that happens online is one less call to return in the evening.

Therapy usually settles into a rhythm: every week or every two weeks, often on the same day and time. On Book, each type of session is a service with its own price and description, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. A longer first session can be its own service. Clients can book their next sessions on your page, or you book them yourself from your calendar at the end of a session, which removes that slot from your page.

You set the start and end of every slot, so the ten minutes you keep between sessions stay yours.

Clients book without an account, with only their name and contact details, and receive a confirmation email; you receive an email for each new booking. Book doesn't keep clinical notes or take payment. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list, and sync with Google, iPhone or Mac. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings, no commission, no contract.
