Bloom vs Konfidens
Looking for a Konfidens alternative?
In brief
Konfidens is a thoughtfully built platform for therapists, originally from Norway. It does a lot of things well - secure video calls, a therapist directory, and solid scheduling. If you're weighing up your options, Bloom offers a different approach: deeper practice management with automated client onboarding, e-signatures, and a full payment tracking system - all built specifically for the UK market.

Get started, £29/moWhy therapists are switching from Konfidens
Norwegian-first platform - while it works in the UK, some features and integrations are optimised for the Scandinavian market.
Client limit on the Solo plan - the £19/month plan caps you at 20 active clients, which growing practices can hit quickly.
No built-in counselling agreement e-signatures - you can share documents but there's no integrated signing flow with audit trail.
No automated client onboarding journey - booking, agreement signing, and payment setup are separate processes.
No drag-and-drop calendar - scheduling works but lacks the visual, interactive calendar experience.
SMS reminders cost extra - £0.15 per SMS on Solo, £0.07 on Pro, which adds up with a busy caseload.

Why therapists choose Bloom over Konfidens

Interactive visual calendar
Drag-and-drop rescheduling, resize appointments, colour-coded session types, and a proper week view. Scheduling that feels natural.

£29/month with unlimited clients and no plan tiers to outgrow.
Frequently asked questions
Who Bloom is not for
Bloom is built for UK solo private therapists, counsellors and small practices. It is not built for large multi-clinician clinics, NHS or institutional settings, or businesses outside therapy. If that is you, a general practice management system will fit better.
