Pabau is a UK-built, all-in-one clinic operating system for aesthetic, medical and multi-discipline practices, strong in injectables, skin clinics and CQC-regulated workflows. My-Therapy-Suite is built only for UK talk therapy, at a fraction of the price, by a husband-and-wife team with a practising therapist in the clinic every week.

Pabau is an all-in-one operating system for aesthetic, wellness, medical and multi-discipline clinics, with injectable mapping, skin-treatment charting, body diagrams and CQC tooling. That breadth is its strength for a busy clinic. My-Therapy-Suite owns the UK talk-therapy workflow completely, with session-note structures, validated outcome measures and supervision controls shaped around counsellors and psychotherapists, and none of the aesthetic or medical machinery to navigate around.
My-Therapy-Suite was built fresh in 2026 to do the noticing for you. The diary surfaces what is billed, what has a note linked and what is still open, and you log in to today's diary, the tasks that need you this week, your most-used shortcuts and your monthly trends at a glance. It is a difference therapists feel in the first few minutes of a trial.
Pabau is a single all-in tier at around £62 per user per month (around £49.60 with annual billing). That price reflects the depth a multi-site aesthetic or medical clinic needs. My-Therapy-Suite is £19 per clinician per month billed annually, VAT and AI included, built for the smaller footprint of a talk-therapy practice.
Pabau is a substantial UK clinic-software company serving aesthetic and medical practices at scale. My-Therapy-Suite is built by Inés Olivares Carretero, a practising UK therapist, and her husband Brecht Nys. Every feature passes through Inés's own caseload of talking-therapy clients before it ships, and when you email about a missing feature, one of them reads it.
The criteria that matter most when a UK therapist picks the software that runs their practice.

|---|---|---|
| Clinical workflows | ||

| AI-native session notes (transcription, drafting and template generation) included in the base price | Yes, included | Echo AI scribe included in the single tier |
| 20+ pre-built validated routine outcome measures with auto-scoring | Yes, included | Clinical templates across many disciplines; UK talk-therapy ROMs not the focus |
| Named Supervisor role with per-resource access controls | Yes | Role and location controls oriented to multi-site clinics; no therapy Supervisor role surfaced |
| UK practice fit | ||
| Client records on UK infrastructure under UK GDPR | Yes, no region to choose | Yes, UK-built and UK GDPR-aligned |

Pabau is a credible, deep platform that runs aesthetic clinics, skin clinics, physiotherapy, spa and medical practices from one system, with injectable plotting, treatment packages, CQC compliance and an Echo AI scribe included in the price. For a multi-discipline or aesthetic clinic, that is a genuinely strong fit.
My-Therapy-Suite is built for one job: running a UK mental-health private practice. The vocabulary on every screen, the outcome measures shipped by default, and the supervision controls are shaped around UK counsellors and psychotherapists. There are no body charts, no injectable maps and no aesthetic treatment packages to ignore.
My-Therapy-Suite is built for one job: running a UK mental-health private practice.
My-Therapy-Suite was built fresh in 2026 to do the noticing for you. Reminders that need you appear once, workflows complete themselves where they can, and the diary shows at a glance what is billed, noted and still open.
For a solo or small talk-therapy practice without a front desk, that quiet attention is the difference between admin filling your evenings and the platform handling it in the background.
The platform should notice things, so the therapist does not have to.
Pabau's single-tier price packs in clinical, billing and operational depth aimed at clinics running many treatment types across one or more sites. If you use that depth, the price is fair value.
A talk-therapy practice does not need injectable mapping or multi-site aesthetic operations. My-Therapy-Suite gives you the things a therapist actually uses, transcription and AI notes included, for £19 per clinician per month.
You should pay for the practice you run, not the clinic you do not.
Pabau is an established UK company with a large customer base in aesthetics and medical clinics, and a deep, mature product.
My-Therapy-Suite is built by Inés Olivares Carretero, a practising UK therapist, and her husband Brecht Nys, who spent a decade leading digital product development in international banking before building the platform with her. Inés sees clients every week, and every flow passes through her own practice before it ships.
When you email about a missing feature, Inés or Brecht reads it.
Pabau is a deep, UK-built clinic platform. Three buyer profiles where Pabau is genuinely the better choice for the practice in question:
If your practice does injectables, skin treatments or medical procedures, Pabau's injectable mapping, treatment packages, body charting and CQC tooling are built for that and a talk-therapy platform is not.
Pabau ships direct Healthcode submission for UK private insurers. My-Therapy-Suite's Healthcode integration is in development. If a meaningful share of your invoices flow through Healthcode today, Pabau is shipped and we are not yet.
If you operate several treatment types across one or more locations, Pabau's multi-industry breadth and multi-site management fit that scale better than a mental-health-only platform.
Most therapists are taking new bookings on My-Therapy-Suite within an afternoon of starting their trial. Here is how a switch from Pabau usually runs:
It can be, and Pabau is UK-built with UK data residency. But Pabau is designed for aesthetic, medical and multi-discipline clinics, its price reflects that depth, and much of its tooling (injectable mapping, body charts, treatment packages) is irrelevant to talk therapy. If your practice is purely UK talk therapy, you will get more from a tool built only for that.
My-Therapy-Suite starts at £19 per clinician per month billed annually (£24 monthly), VAT and AI included.
Pabau is a single all-in tier at around £62 per user per month, reducing to around £49.60 per user with annual billing. Verified on Pabau's pricing page on 20-Jun-2026.
Both platforms host UK client data in the UK under UK GDPR, so on data residency this is broadly a tie. My-Therapy-Suite stores all client data on UK infrastructure with the ICO as the regulator and no region to choose.
Pabau is UK-built and UK GDPR-aligned. Confirm the specifics in Pabau's own Data Processing Agreement for your DPIA.

Pabau has direct Healthcode submission for UK private insurer billing as a shipped feature.
My-Therapy-Suite's Healthcode integration is in development. If a meaningful share of your invoices flow through Healthcode today, Pabau is shipped and we are not yet.
Both include AI. Pabau includes its Echo AI scribe in its single tier. My-Therapy-Suite includes transcription, AI-drafted notes and an AI template builder in the £19 base price. The difference is fit: My-Therapy-Suite's notes, templates and outcome measures are built around UK talk therapy rather than multi-discipline clinical work.
