Getting started
Who is Practiva for?
UK therapists and counsellors in private practice — solo or in small groups. You should hold a current registration with a recognised UK body (BACP, NCPS, UKCP, BPC, BABCP, or HCPC).
What if I'm not very technical?
That's exactly who Practiva is built for. No code, no plugins, no design decisions you didn’t ask for. If you can fill in a form, you can have a professional website.
How long does it take to get online?
Most therapists are live within ten minutes from signing up. The site itself is built in about a minute once you’ve shared your details.
Do I need to provide my own photos or copy?
No. We’ll write your bio, services, and homepage copy from the practice details you share. You can replace any of it with your own words if you prefer, and you can add a photo of yourself if you’d like — but neither is required.
Pricing & billing
Is there really a free trial with no card?
Yes. 14 days, no payment details needed. If you decide to continue, you add a card before the trial ends. If you don’t, your account simply pauses.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from your dashboard in one click. Your subscription stops at the end of your current billing period — no phone calls, no awkward emails.
Do you offer refunds?
If you cancel within 14 days of your first payment we’ll refund you in full, no questions asked. Beyond that, refunds are at our discretion — but we’ll always try to make it right.
Do you offer discounts for trainee or newly qualified therapists?
Yes — newly qualified therapists in their first 12 months of independent practice can get 50% off Starter for the first six months. Email us with proof of qualification to apply.
Your website
Where does my website live?
Your site is published at yourname.practiva.io straight away, for free. On Practitioner and above you can connect your own domain (like yourname.co.uk) — we’ll walk you through it.
Can I move my existing website to Practiva?
Yes. During sign-up, paste the link to your current site and we’ll pull across what we can — your bio, services, fees. You can keep anything that works and replace anything that doesn’t.
Will my site be on Google?
Yes. Every Practiva site is built to be indexed by search engines. You won’t rank for ‘therapist near me’ on day one — that takes time and content — but you’ll be findable by people searching your name immediately.
Is my site mobile-friendly?
Yes, on every plan. Most clients will find you on their phone, so we treat mobile as the default, not an afterthought.
Clients, bookings & data
How do clients get in touch?
Every site has a contact form. Submissions arrive in your Practiva dashboard as a new enquiry, and we email you straight away so you don’t miss anything.
Can clients book sessions online?
Online booking is rolling out shortly for Practitioner and above. Until then, clients submit enquiries via the contact form and you arrange sessions however you prefer.
Is my clients’ data secure?
Yes. Everything is encrypted at rest and in transit. We’re a UK-registered data controller and handle all client information under UK GDPR. See our privacy policy for the full picture.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You can export your contacts, session notes, and documents at any time. After cancellation we keep your data for 30 days in case you change your mind, then it’s permanently deleted.
Support
How do I get help?
Email hello@practiva.io. We reply to every message — usually within a few hours during the working day. On Practitioner and above you get priority response. On Practice you get phone support.
Do you offer onboarding help?
On the Practice plan, yes — a 30-minute call with our team to walk through the dashboard and answer questions. On Starter and Practitioner we have written guides and we’re always available by email.
