Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI receptionist for psychologists work?

Our AI virtual receptionist answers every call to your psychology practice 24/7, books appointments, answers common questions and captures clients details — then sends everything straight to you. It sounds natural and professional, so your clients get a great experience around the clock.

Will my callers know it's an AI?

It's unlikely. The assistant converses gently and naturally, booking clients in much as a thoughtful practice receptionist would. Everything runs on VirtualAssistant.com.au and is managed here in Australia.

How much does it cost?

Flexible monthly plans with no lock-in contract. Start with a free trial to see how the AI receptionist handles your client calls with care before you commit, and cancel any time.

How quickly can I get set up?

Most psychology practices are up and running within 24 hours. We configure your assistant, connect your booking preferences and you're ready to stop missing calls.

What happens after hours or when I'm busy?

That's exactly when it shines. Every after-hours, weekend or missed call is answered and booked instead of going to voicemail — so your psychology practice never loses a client to a competitor again.

Can the AI receptionist book appointments into my calendar?

Yes. After noting the client's details and the time that works for them, the assistant sends the session straight through to your calendar — keeping your week booked without you reaching for the phone.

Does it work with my existing phone number?

Indeed — any call you can't take is quietly diverted to the AI receptionist on your existing number. Clients keep contacting you the same way, with no new number to learn or promote.

What makes this better than a standard answering machine or voicemail?

Voicemail loses business — most callers hang up and ring a competitor. The AI receptionist actually has a conversation, answers questions and books the client in, 24/7, so your psychology practice captures every opportunity.
