What is special about the GoTherapy platform? ☕️
Our main goal is to bring as much benefit as possible to our clients – you and your clients. Therefore, we aim for you to be able to focus on your main work, clients' mental health.
We are building GoTherapy so that the psychologist's workplace is convenient, and you can manage service provision without restrictions. Of course, what psychologist or psychotherapist is without clients? We take care of their flow, simple registration and session management, so that during an intensive workday you don't have to write emails and messages about services during breaks, change appointment times, check payments and issue invoices.
Our vision is to become an ecosystem for mental health, comprehensively covering mental health improvement.
How much will I earn from a consultation? 🧾
It depends on your earnings depend on two components:
- consultation price, which you set yourself
- number of consultations per month.
GoTherapy applies reverse progressive fees – the more you earn, the smaller percentage you pay for GoTherapy services. The easiest way to estimate your earnings is to use the calculator.
Additionally, if it fits your psychotherapy style, you can increase income from a specific client. When working with clients longer, additional discounts are provided to the GoTherapy fee from specific client income after working for six months or longer.
What are the requirements to join GoTherapy specialists? 🔖
You must have documents confirming psychologist or psychotherapist education. Psychologist – psychology master's degree certificate; psychotherapist – postgraduate psychotherapy studies certificate.
If you are still studying in postgraduate studies and want to start consulting, you must provide your educational institution's document regarding permission to provide consultations.
How does the client pay for the consultation? 💸
Since you consult the client, the client pays you as a therapist. So that clients can pay in convenient ways for them (e-banking, cards, mobile payments), we collect your payments into our collection account and transfer them to you by the 10th of the next month.
In the future, we will also offer more frequent payouts of your clients' money, as well as more payment methods for clients.
How does settlement with the specialist work? 🤑
We recalculate collected client payments and transfer them to you by the 10th of the next month. Along comes the invoice for GoTherapy services. So that you don't have to transfer payment for the invoice back to us, we deduct the invoice payment amount from the amount transferred to you.
Example. Let's say during the month you had 72 sessions, clients paid €50 per meeting, you earned €3600. At the end of the month, GoTherapy issued you an invoice for services, its amount €432 (12% of consultation amount). By the 10th you will receive €3168 in your account.
Can I work on my own schedule? 🧑💻
Of course! We believe that your uniqueness depends on how comfortably you can choose your work time. Therefore, we paid a lot of attention to managing your work time. In the regular weekly work schedule, you can divide separate times for in-person and remote consultations. We have a tool for irregular work schedules too. We claim that GoTherapy has the most flexible work time management system.
Who sets consultation prices? 🏷️
Of course, the price is set by you – the specialists! GoTherapy services – individual, couples, adolescent and child consultations can have different prices. Moreover, you can apply different prices to each group according to your guidelines, for example having different length sessions for couples, or offering clients a free introductory consultation and paid sessions. You set yourself how much you value your services and what you provide.
How many hours must I work on GoTherapy if I decide to work with you? 🕰️
As much as you choose. GoTherapy does not have a mandatory work hour quota or required number of open times. Work as much as you want, when you want, how you want. Keep in mind that more consultations through GoTherapy means a smaller percentage paid for using GoTherapy services.
What taxes must I pay when working with GoTherapy? 🏛️
The majority of specialists work using a self-employment certificate. This means from earned income, you will have to pay personal income tax set by the State Tax Inspectorate. Those working through companies pay taxes belonging to companies. Important detail – taxes are paid on the entire client consultation amount.
It's simpler to present this with an example: you received 1000 EUR from clients, and issued invoices to clients for the same amount. Let's say you pay GoTherapy 20% of payments received from clients. This means the GoTherapy invoice amount is 200 EUR. When settling with you we transfer 800 EUR, from which 200 EUR GoTherapy service amount is already deducted. When paying taxes, 1000 EUR income and 200 EUR expenses are declared (if you count expenses).
I will consult online, will I have to use your app? 📱
When consulting online you use the app or apps that are convenient for both you and your clients. Our practice shows that the most popular are Google Meet and Microsoft Teams. Also paid Zoom version. If you have several apps, clients choose which one suits them best when registering, if the app is linked to your account the meeting link is generated automatically. No sending, coordinating and arranging!
