Hey, Kyle here.

I'm building ViaCara to connect clients with therapists, counsellors, hypnotherapists and coaches on a deeper level.

I recorded a short film about why.

It started at home. My partner is an independent therapist. Her diary stayed full while others around her waited for clients. Good practitioners are being asked to be marketers, and I've built software since 1999. So I'm building the part that helps connect clients with how they work.

If you're a therapist, counsellor, hypnotherapist or coach, I'd love you to join. ViaCara starts in Manchester, then grows city by city. There's no subscription, and your first two introductions are free.

Film transcript

Are you a marketing expert? Probably not. But you still want to gain clients. And that's why I built ViaCara. Hi, I'm Kyle, founder of ViaCara. My partner, she's a therapist, and she started about a year ago. I saw as she was building her practice the certain things which she had to overcome in order to gain clients. And as a software engineer of over two decades, I saw that I had the skills to solve this problem. I want you to do the best work you can. And you don't have to become an expert in marketing. ViaCara is a platform which allows clients to express what their needs are, their goals and the logistics on how they want to be met. Practitioners come on and share their personality, their lived experiences and all their credentials. So the plan: we will be focusing our marketing efforts in Manchester initially and expanding out to the rest of the nation. We don't have a subscription model. It is free to set up an account and we give you two free introductions to trial us out. If you have any questions, please send me an email or send me a message and I'd be more than happy to answer those. I want to make this work for you. So join on to ViaCara and I look forward to seeing you there.
