CounSol is a US EHR for counsellors and therapists, independent and founder-run, with a white-label client portal and strong personal support. My-Therapy-Suite is built only for UK talk therapy, on UK infrastructure, with AI session notes and a modern interface included in one flat price.
Last verified 20-Jun-2026
CounSol is built around US counselling practice, including US insurance billing and HIPAA. For a UK therapist, that billing layer is overhead you will not use. My-Therapy-Suite is shaped around UK counsellors and psychotherapists, with UK GDPR, the ICO, GBP invoicing and BACP, UKCP, HCPC and BPS language throughout.
CounSol stores data in the US under HIPAA. With My-Therapy-Suite there is no region to choose. Your records sit on UK infrastructure under UK GDPR, the ICO is the regulator we answer to, and your invoice is in GBP inclusive of VAT.
CounSol does not surface a built-in AI scribe, and its interface is widely described as dated. My-Therapy-Suite includes session transcription, AI-drafted notes and an AI template builder in the £19 per clinician per month base price, in an interface built fresh in 2026.
CounSol is independent and founder-run, with a reputation for responsive personal support, which we respect. My-Therapy-Suite shares that founder-run, reachable model, and adds a practising UK therapist in Inés Olivares Carretero, with her husband Brecht Nys building the platform around her caseload.

CounSol is a dependable US EHR for counsellors and therapists, with integrated billing, a client portal, treatment plans and secure messaging. US solo counsellors rate it for affordability, its white-label portal and its personal support.
My-Therapy-Suite owns the UK talk-therapy workflow instead. The note structures, the validated outcome measures shipped by default, the supervision controls and the vocabulary on every screen are built for UK counsellors and psychotherapists, with UK regulatory references and no US billing layer.
A UK practice should not run its software around a US billing system it never touches.
CounSol stores client data in the United States under HIPAA. For a UK therapist, the short answer to where data lives points to the US.
My-Therapy-Suite has one region. Your records sit on UK infrastructure under UK GDPR, the ICO is the regulator we answer to, and your invoice is in GBP inclusive of VAT.
Where your client data sits should have a one-sentence answer, in your own jurisdiction.
CounSol keeps things simple and affordable, but does not surface a built-in AI scribe, and its interface is commonly described as showing its age.
My-Therapy-Suite was built fresh in 2026, with transcription, AI-drafted notes and an AI template builder included in the £19 per clinician per month price, in an interface designed for how therapists work today.
AI is not an add-on. It is the platform.
CounSol has stayed independent and founder-operated in a market where many small vendors have been acquired, and its personal support is a genuine strength worth respecting.
My-Therapy-Suite is also founder-run and reachable, and is built by Inés Olivares Carretero, a practising UK therapist, with her husband Brecht Nys, who spent a decade leading digital product development in international banking before building the platform with her.
When you email about a missing feature, Inés or Brecht reads it.
CounSol is an affordable, founder-run US platform with loyal users. Two buyer profiles where CounSol is genuinely the better choice for the practice in question:
If you submit US insurance claims and want an affordable, simple EHR with a white-label client portal, CounSol is built for that and My-Therapy-Suite is not.
CounSol's defining strengths are its customisable, branded client portal and its responsive personal support. If those are central to your decision, it is a credible choice in the US market.
Most therapists are taking new bookings on My-Therapy-Suite within an afternoon of starting their trial. Here is how a switch from CounSol usually runs:
For most UK therapists, not really. CounSol is a dependable US counselling EHR, but it is built around US billing and HIPAA, stores data in the US, prices in USD, and runs on a dated interface without a built-in AI scribe. If your practice is UK talk therapy, a UK-built tool with AI included will fit more closely.
My-Therapy-Suite starts at £19 per clinician per month billed annually (£24 monthly), VAT and AI included.
CounSol prices per provider per month in USD, with tiers from around $50 to around $90 plus per-additional-counsellor fees. Verified on CounSol's pricing information on 20-Jun-2026.
