The team behind Therapyway
We connect people across the UK with verified occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and physiotherapists, and make care easier to find, book, and manage in one place.
Why we built Therapyway
Finding a good independent therapist in the UK is harder than it should be. People wait months for an NHS referral, or dig through directories that haven't been updated in years, with no simple way to check who's actually qualified.
So we built one place to do it properly: find HCPC-registered therapists, see real availability, and book directly, with no referral and no phone tag. Most tools do one or the other. We do both, the marketplace and the practice tools behind it, verified from day one.

What we care about
Three values guide how we build.
Trust
Every therapist is checked against the HCPC register before they can take bookings, so you always know who you're dealing with.
Fairness
Independents do great work but rarely get the tools big clinics have. We build those tools so they can run a practice on their own terms.
Impact
The right specialist, booked directly, with no referral and no waiting list, so people get the help they need sooner.
The two of us
Karthick Krishnamoorthy
Karthick leads product and design. He's spent years making healthcare and marketplace software people can use without a manual, and he's why booking a therapist here takes a couple of taps instead of a phone call.
Helbin Rapheal
Helbin runs engineering. He builds the parts you don't see: secure video, payments, and the infrastructure that keeps everything fast and compliant. He'd rather get the boring things right than ship something flashy.
People who know this world better than we do
We lean on practising clinicians and health-system veterans to pressure-test what we build.
