The availability problem

Prospective clients are reaching out when you cannot respond

The moment someone decides to seek help is rarely during business hours. If your practice cannot meet them at that moment, you lose them — and they lose momentum.

Sensitive first contact questions are arriving on your personal time

Prospective clients often reach out in distress — evenings, weekends, late at night. Every unanswered message is a missed opportunity to help someone who was ready to take the first step.

People in distress do not wait for business hours to seek help

A person researching therapy at midnight is making a real decision. Nearly half of all healthcare appointments are booked after hours — if your practice cannot give them a path to book, they will find one that can.

Admin time is eating into your billable therapy hours

Every hour spent answering the same questions about session format, fees, and availability is an hour not spent doing the work you trained for.

How it works

From your practice content to a live client-facing chatbot in under an hour

01

Train on your practice content

Upload your service pages, modality descriptions, fee structure, availability policies, and FAQs. Your chatbot learns your practice — and communicates with the warmth you set.

02

Set your tone and boundaries

Define how your chatbot greets prospective clients, what it will and will not answer, and when it hands off to you. Clinical questions and crisis situations are always escalated.

03

Go live on your website

One embed snippet. Your chatbot handles initial inquiries, practice FAQs, and appointment scheduling — so you start your day focused on clients, not a full inbox.

Features

Everything a therapy practice chatbot actually needs

Designed for the sensitivity of mental health practice — not a generic support bot. Clinical boundaries are built in by design.

Practice-specific knowledge

Trained on your services, therapeutic modalities, fees, and policies — not generic mental health information.

24/7 appointment scheduling

Let prospective clients book a discovery call or first session directly in chat, at any hour.

Warm, sensitive tone

Set a tone that reflects your practice values. Your chatbot responds with the same care and calm you would want your first contact to convey.

Clinical handoff built in

Any question touching clinical assessment, crisis support, or medication is immediately flagged for a human. Your chatbot handles admin; you handle care.

Therapy modality FAQs

Explain CBT, DBT, EMDR, couples work, and any modality you offer — so clients arrive at their first session with informed expectations.

GDPR-compliant

Visitor data is handled per GDPR. Conversation data is never used to train AI models.

How therapy practices use VocUI

A typical week, before and after VocUI

Before

Coming out of back-to-back sessions to multiple messages asking about fees, session structure, and availability — admin encroaching on time needed for case notes and self-care.

Setup

Uploaded their practice information, therapy approach, fees and session FAQ, and new client process — live without any technical setup.

After

New client questions answered automatically. Enquiries arrive pre-informed about approach and fees. Therapist focused entirely on client work and their own wellbeing.
