MY-THERAPY-SUITE vs THERANEST

A UK mental-health alternative to TheraNest

TheraNest, now branded Ensora Mental Health, is a US behavioural-health EHR built around US insurance billing and owned by private equity. My-Therapy-Suite is built only for UK counsellors and psychotherapists in private practice, on UK infrastructure, with AI session notes included in the base price.

Last verified 20-Jun-2026

01

Built for UK practice, not US insurance billing.

TheraNest is built around the US system: insurance claims, CMS-1500 forms, superbills, clearinghouse submission, e-prescribing and DSM and CPT coding. For a UK therapist, most of that machinery is overhead you will never use. My-Therapy-Suite is shaped around how UK counsellors and psychotherapists actually work, with UK GDPR, the ICO, and BACP, UKCP, HCPC and BPS language throughout.

02

Your records on UK infrastructure, not in the US under HIPAA.

TheraNest 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.

03

AI in the £19, not gated behind the top tier.

TheraNest's AI documentation sits on its Premier tier at around $89 per therapist per month. My-Therapy-Suite includes session transcription, AI-drafted notes and the AI template builder in the £19 per clinician per month base price, VAT and AI included, on every plan.

04

Built by a practising therapist, not owned by private equity.

TheraNest is owned by KKR through Ensora Health, which acquired the parent company and rebranded the product. My-Therapy-Suite is built by Inés Olivares Carretero, a practising UK therapist, and her husband Brecht Nys, who designed and built the platform. When you email about a missing feature, one of them reads it.

How the two stack up

REASON 01

Designed for UK talk therapy, not the US billing stack.

TheraNest is a long-established US behavioural-health EHR. It does the US workflow well: insurance eligibility checks, electronic claims, ERA and EOB processing, e-prescribing, and Wiley treatment-planner content. That depth is exactly what a US insurance-billing practice needs.

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 no US billing layer to navigate around.

A UK practice should not have to run its software around a US insurance system it never touches.

REASON 02

UK by default, not GDPR-compliant from a US data centre.

TheraNest stores client data in the United States under HIPAA. For a UK therapist who needs a short answer to where client data lives and which regulator stands behind it, that answer points across the Atlantic.

My-Therapy-Suite has only 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.

Trust questions about where your client data sits should have a one-sentence answer.

REASON 03

AI is the price of the subscription, not the price of the top tier.

TheraNest's therapist-informed AI drafts notes and case summaries, but it is reserved for the Premier tier at around $89 per therapist per month. On the lower tiers you either pay up or bolt on a separate scribe.

My-Therapy-Suite ships transcription, AI-drafted notes and the AI template builder inside the £19 per clinician per month price, on every plan, with no separate seat to buy.

AI is not a tier. It is the platform.

REASON 04

Built by people you can reach.

TheraNest grew into one of the most widely used tools in the US therapy market and is now part of Ensora Health under KKR ownership. That scale and investment are real.

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 caseload before it ships.

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

When TheraNest is the better fit for you

TheraNest is a mature, well-supported US platform. Two buyer profiles where TheraNest is the better choice for the practice in question:

You are a US practice billing insurance.

If you submit US insurance claims, need CMS-1500 forms, superbills, clearinghouse submission and e-prescribing, TheraNest is built for that and My-Therapy-Suite is not.

You want Wiley treatment-planner content and structured US compliance tooling.

TheraNest ships integrated Wiley planners, DSM and CPT code databases and group-practice supervision tracking aimed at US behavioural-health organisations. If those are central to your work, that depth fits.

Questions UK therapists ask

Is TheraNest a good fit for UK therapists?

For most UK therapists, not really. TheraNest is a strong US behavioural-health EHR, but it is built around US insurance billing, e-prescribing and HIPAA, and it stores data in the US. If your practice is UK talk therapy, you will get more from a tool built in the UK around UK practice.

How does pricing compare?

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

TheraNest (Ensora Mental Health) starts at around $29 per therapist per month on its Essentials tier, with AI documentation reserved for the Premier tier at around $89 per therapist per month, priced in USD. Verified on Ensora Health's TheraNest pricing page on 20-Jun-2026.
