Konfidens Alternative for UK Therapists
Therasee is a complete UK platform for therapists and counsellors, with unlimited clients, built-in video, and a branded client portal.
Konfidens and Therasee share a lot in common. Both are built specifically for mental health practitioners, both offer GBP pricing, and both understand that therapists need something different from generic healthcare software. Konfidens is a young, ambitious Norwegian platform based in Oslo, and we respect what they’re building.
The key difference is completeness. Konfidens offers scheduling, notes, video, and payments, but messaging is a paid add-on, there’s no form builder, the Solo plan caps you at 20 active clients, and features like outcome measures and group therapy are still on the roadmap. Therasee gives you everything a modern therapy practice needs in a single platform, at a single price, with no caps, no add-ons, and no features still in development.

Where Therasee stands out
Everything included, no add-ons
At £19/month, Therasee includes unlimited clients, video, messaging, forms with e-signatures, billing, and the client portal. With Konfidens at £19+VAT/month (Solo), you’re capped at 20 active clients, messaging costs £2/month extra, and there’s no form builder at all. To get unlimited clients with Konfidens, you need the £29+VAT/month Pro plan. All Konfidens prices are subject to VAT on top.
A complete branded client experience
Therasee’s client portal carries your branding, installs as a mobile app on any phone (no app store needed), and gives clients access to booking, forms with e-signatures, payments, messaging, and shared documents, all from one professional, private space. Konfidens offers client login for messaging and booking, but not a unified branded portal.
AI form builder with e-signatures
Therasee includes a drag-and-drop form builder with an AI assistant that builds forms from plain English, e-signatures, and 50+ validated assessments (PHQ-9, GAD-7). Create intake forms, consent forms, and outcome measures that clients complete on any device. Konfidens doesn’t currently offer a form builder.
No client caps on Premium
Therasee’s Premium plan has no limit on active clients. Konfidens’ Solo plan (£19/month) caps you at 20 active clients, which a full-time therapist can easily exceed. Removing that cap requires upgrading to Pro at £29/month.
Support from people who know your practice
When you reach out to Therasee, you speak to someone who understands your workflow as a therapist. No ticket queues, no chatbots, no waiting days for a reply. Just direct, personal help from a team that knows how mental health practices actually run.
Where Konfidens stands out
Student-friendly pricing
Konfidens offers a 70% discount for therapists in training and includes supervisor collaboration features, making it particularly accessible for students and newly qualified practitioners.
Therapist directory
Konfidens includes a listing on their therapist directory. It may offer some visibility for new practitioners, though results will depend on the directory’s own traffic and reach.
Time Magnet scheduling
Konfidens’ proprietary scheduling algorithm optimises appointment placement to reduce gaps in your calendar, helping you make the most of your working hours.
