Pros

no one unless that in the past the app was good

Cons

felt undervalued and unsupported throughout my time working here. The commission structure and ongoing deductions made it difficult to earn a sustainable income, and I often felt under pressure to accept situations that made me uncomfortable. Management seemed far more focused on revenue than on the wellbeing of therapists. Overall, it was not a positive place to work, and I would not recommend it to therapists looking for a supportive and professional environment.

Pros

A company that once had a strong values-led culture. At its best, the business genuinely practised what it preached.

Cons

Since the acquisition by a US investor, the company has undergone significant cost-cutting and restructuring. In my experience, therapist concerns were often deprioritised, and several safeguards that had previously been in place were reduced or removed, including enhanced DBS checks. I was also concerned by the company’s approach to data protection and compliance. While I cannot comment on current practices, I witnessed incidents that raised concerns for me about GDPR compliance at the time The remaining team appeared overstretched, with frequent changes in direction and priorities. This created uncertainty and made it difficult to execute long-term plans. Bookings appeared to decline significantly during my time post acquisition, while investment in marketing and product development appeared to reduce. As a result, I often found it difficult to understand what value therapists were receiving in exchange for platform fees. Prospective employees and therapists should ask detailed questions about compliance, support, business performance and the company’s long-term strategy before joining.

Pros

Flexible time and good reputation as they have good therapists that’s why they have a large number of costumers( probably not for too long )

Cons

They lie on their website saying they get 30% comission when they suddenly decided to take 45% . Therapists basically work there for a few pounds if you consider all the costs therapists have to complete work .
