DISCOVERCreate a psychologist app
Psychologist app: first and follow-up sessions booked, in person or by video, no reason asked
Your clients book a first consultation or a follow-up without having to say why they're coming, and know before they arrive how the first session works and what your cancellation policy says.
Build your psychology practice's app without code, as an iOS and Android app with its web version: first consultations and follow-ups on one Google Calendar, in-person or video sessions, your cancellation policy on display, an emergency page.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
Booking without having to explain
A name, a number, the type of session: the form never asks for a reason
Calling a psychologist often takes effort; explaining out loud why you want to come takes more. In the app, clients pick an open slot and fill in a form that only asks what you need to see them: name, phone, email, and "first consultation or follow-up." Whatever brings them in, they'll tell you in session. The moment they confirm, you both get a confirmation email, and the appointment goes into your Google Calendar.
Days split into time ranges
9 am to noon, then 1:30 to 5:30 pm: lunch and your evenings stay out of the app
Within a time range, slots run back to back: the app never adds a break between two clients on its own. The way you split the day creates it: the hour and a half for lunch, between your two ranges, is never offered. In the evening, open only what you're willing to give, Tuesdays until 8 pm for example. And the client you see every Thursday at 3 pm? Take that hour out of Thursday's ranges: nobody else will be able to book it.
What clients read before they come
The first session
An hour for you to meet, talk about what brings them in and decide together whether to continue; its fee, and how long later sessions last.
In person or by video
For remote sessions: the link you send ahead of time, a room where they won't be overheard, headphones.
The cancellation policy
48 hours' notice, for example, and what applies with less. You're the one who enforces it: the app doesn't bill anyone.
Getting to the office
The floor, the buzzer code, when to ring if there's no waiting room, and directions in one tap from the map.
In an emergency
The practice is not an emergency service: the page says so plainly and lists your country's emergency numbers.
Three steps to open your calendar to clients
Everything is set up in the back office, without code, before the first booking.
Two sections, one calendar
"First consultation" in one-hour slots, "Follow-up" in 50-minute slots, both linked to your Google Calendar. A follow-up booked at 10 am closes the first consultation it would have overlapped, and vice versa.Ranges, notice, window
Set each day's time ranges, then a 12-hour minimum notice: no more sessions booked overnight for 8 am. A 28-day booking window keeps your future vacations out of reach until you've closed them.The emergency page and the first session
Publish two articles before announcing the app: how the first session goes, and the page reminding clients that the practice doesn't handle emergencies, with your country's numbers.
What a psychology practice app costs
For clients to book on their own, take the Premium plan and add Appointment booking to it, or pick Pro, where it's built in. Articles, the contact page and the map cost nothing extra, and neither do hosting or updates.
| Premium · the native app and its web version | 55€ /month, billed yearly |
| Online booking, a Premium add-on | 15€ /month |
| Pro · all of Premium, booking included | 105€ /month, billed yearly |
The Standard plan, web version only, doesn't allow booking. Your Apple and Google developer accounts are paid on top, to the stores.
Psychology practice app: your questions
Is a booking with a psychologist health data?
In practice, yes: the mere fact that someone books with a psychologist says a lot about their health. In Europe, the GDPR puts such data in a special category; in the United States, HIPAA may cover it as protected health information. Under GoodBarber's terms, checking that the service suits the rules of your practice is up to you, and GoodBarber is not HDS-certified, the health-data hosting certification France requires. If your rules call for a certified provider, keep bookings on that platform and let a section of the app lead there. Either way, the app never asks about history, diagnoses or medical documents.
What should I ask clients when they book?
The minimum: their name, a way to reach them if the session has to move, and "first consultation or follow-up," which flags a newcomer who picked the wrong section. No field invites them to describe what brings them in, not even a free-text "anything else?" box. Their answers show up in the confirmation email and on the event in your Google Calendar: one more reason to stick to what's useful.
Can I offer video sessions?
Yes, with the video tool you already use: the app books the time, but creates no link and carries no sound or picture; you send that link yourself after the confirmation. If your remote sessions have their own hours, Wednesday evenings for example, give them a "Remote follow-up" section linked to the same Google Calendar; otherwise, add "in person or by video?" to the form.
How do I enforce a 48-hour cancellation policy?
By stating it plainly in the app, because no setting enforces it for you: clients can still cancel the day before, with a tap in the app or through the email they received, and you hear about it by email right away. Whether to charge for a late cancellation is your call, handled through your usual billing: the app collects nothing and stores no card.
Can I keep ten minutes between clients?
Not through a setting: the app has no buffer time, and 50-minute slots follow one another without a gap. For those ten minutes, set follow-ups to 60-minute slots: the session lasts 50, the end of the hour is yours, and appointments land on the hour. For a real break, split the day into two ranges.
Can I post client reviews in the app?
No. A signed review reveals that someone sees a psychologist, which they may not have told anyone, and an anonymous testimonial proves nothing. Present your training, your approaches, the people you work with and your fees instead. The same restraint applies elsewhere: no loyalty card, no coupons, no discounted sessions.
Can the app help in an emergency?
No, and a page in the app says so in plain words: the practice is not an emergency service, and an open slot next week is no answer to an immediate crisis. That page lists your country's emergency numbers and explains that your emails aren't read in the evening or on weekends.
Extension Store
Four extensions are enough: Appointment booking, which Pro includes and Premium offers as an add-on; CMS Articles for the first session and the emergency page; CMS Contact so clients can reach you in one tap; CMS Map to find the practice's door.
Your psychology practice in a pared-down app: book without explaining, read everything before coming in
First consultations and follow-ups on one Google Calendar, in person or by video, a clear cancellation policy and emergency page: your own app, in your name, on iPhone, Android and the web.
