MY-THERAPY-SUITE vs SEMBLE

A UK talk-therapy alternative to Semble

Semble is a UK-built EHR for private healthcare, strong with GPs, consultants and medical secretaries across primary and secondary care. 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.

Last verified 20-Jun-2026

01

Built for talk therapy, not for private medicine.

Semble is built for private healthcare broadly: GPs, consultants, medical secretaries, psychiatrists and corporate clinics across primary and secondary care, with prescribing, diagnostics and an open integration layer. 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 rather than doctors and secretaries.

02

Designed to notice things for you.

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.

03

A flat £19, not from £119 a month.

Semble starts from around £119 per month, priced for medical and multi-site private-healthcare operations. My-Therapy-Suite is £19 per clinician per month billed annually, VAT and AI included, built for the footprint of a talk-therapy practice rather than a medical clinic.

04

A practising therapist in the clinic every week.

Semble was founded by former investment bankers and built for private medicine. 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.

REASON 01

Designed for talk therapy, not for the consulting room and the secretary's desk.

Semble is a credible, modern EHR for private healthcare, used by GPs, consultants, psychiatrists and medical secretaries, with prescribing, diagnostics integrations, AI-assisted notes and a connection layer into more than a thousand business tools. For a private medical practice or a multi-site group, that is a 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, not around prescriptions, referrals and medical secretaries.

My-Therapy-Suite is built for one job: running a UK mental-health private practice.

REASON 02

The platform should notice things, so you do not have to.

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 medical secretary or front desk, that quiet attention is the difference between admin filling your evenings and the platform handling it for you.

The platform should notice things, so the therapist does not have to.

REASON 03

Priced for a therapy practice, not a medical group.

Semble's pricing reflects the depth a private-medicine practice needs: prescribing, diagnostics, deep integrations and multi-site operations. If you use that depth, the price is fair value.

A talk-therapy practice does not need a prescribing engine or a diagnostics integration layer. My-Therapy-Suite gives you the things a therapist 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.

REASON 04

Built by people you can reach.

Semble is an established UK company with a substantial base of private-healthcare customers and a mature, well-integrated 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. Every feature passes through Inés's own practice before it ships.

When you email about a missing feature, Inés or Brecht reads it.

When Semble is the better fit for you

Semble is a strong, UK-built private-healthcare EHR. Three buyer profiles where Semble is genuinely the better choice for the practice in question:

You are a private GP, consultant or medical practice.

If you prescribe, order diagnostics, work with medical secretaries or operate in secondary care, Semble is built for that and a talk-therapy platform is not.

You bill UK insurers directly via Healthcode.

Semble ships Healthcode billing and Semble Pay. My-Therapy-Suite's Healthcode integration is in development. If a meaningful share of your invoices flow through Healthcode today, Semble is shipped and we are not yet.

You need deep integrations across a wider business stack.

Semble connects to a large ecosystem of CRM, billing, diagnostics, labs and HR tools. If interoperability across many systems is central to how you run, that openness fits.

Switching from Semble

Most therapists are taking new bookings on My-Therapy-Suite within an afternoon of starting their trial. Here is how a switch from Semble usually runs:

  1. 1Start your My-Therapy-Suite free trial. No credit card required.
  2. 2Set up your practice. Add your details, import existing clients if you have them, set your availability.
  3. 3Connect your calendar (Google or Microsoft). Two-way sync starts immediately.
  4. 4Focus on clients. Reminders, invoicing, documentation. It all happens. You just do what you do best.

Questions UK therapists ask

Is Semble a good fit for UK therapists?

It can be, and Semble is UK-built with UK data residency. But Semble is designed for private healthcare broadly, with much of its depth in prescribing, diagnostics, medical secretarial workflows and integrations that talk therapists do not use. If your practice is purely UK talk therapy, you will get more from a tool built only for that.

How does pricing compare?

My-Therapy-Suite starts at £19 per clinician per month billed annually (£24 monthly), VAT and AI included.

Semble has no free version and starts from around £119 per month, priced for private-medicine and multi-site operations. Verified on Semble's site on 20-Jun-2026.

Where is my client data stored with each platform?

Both platforms host UK client data in the UK or EU 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.

Semble is UK-built and states UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance with UK and EU data residency. Confirm the specifics in Semble's own agreement for your DPIA.

What about Healthcode and UK insurer billing?

Semble ships Healthcode billing and its own payments, Semble Pay, as shipped features.

My-Therapy-Suite's Healthcode integration is in development. If a meaningful share of your invoices flow through Healthcode today, Semble is shipped and we are not yet.

Does either platform include AI session notes?

Both offer AI. Semble provides AI-assisted notes and integrates with Heidi AI. 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 documentation is built around UK talk therapy rather than private medicine.
