Detailed Review
Therapyside works as a plan-based service: a single session at one rate, or four sessions at a lower rate per session, with a first session free during a trial week. On the UK site that works out at GBP 49 and GBP 40 for a 50-minute individual session.
The legal terms name Altania del Mar, S.L., a Spanish limited company registered in the Madrid Commercial Register, with its office in the Torre Emperador in Madrid. The therapychat.com address redirects to the Therapyside site.
Plans and prices
The UK page lists individual sessions at GBP 49, or GBP 40 each when four are bought together, and couples sessions at GBP 59 or GBP 50. The Spanish pages show their own euro prices, so the figure depends on which country site you land on.
The free first session
The terms describe an initial trial week in which a first session is provided free of charge, and the client can cancel without cost during that week. Continuing with further sessions is read as acceptance of the plan, so the client has to cancel explicitly if they do not want to continue.
Coverage
Language options on the site are Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese. A separate area for businesses and a section for psychologists wanting to join sit alongside the client pages.
Limitations to Consider
The free session is something the psychologist "may" offer, per the terms, rather than a guarantee. Continuing after the trial week counts as consent to the plan, so cancel in time if you do not want it. The pages checked do not state insurer reimbursement or hosting location, and prices differ by country site.
Who Should Use Therapyside
Clients in Spain, Italy or the UK who want a named psychologist, a predictable weekly slot and the option to try one session first.
