BridgeUp uses a needs-based matching system. Families complete a short profile about their child's needs, age, and location. Our platform then surfaces verified therapists who specialise in those areas, allowing families to browse, compare, and connect.

Yes. Every therapist listed on BridgeUp goes through a verification process that confirms their licensure, credentials, and professional standing. We take safeguarding seriously — your child's safety is our top priority.

Families can join BridgeUp and browse therapist profiles at no cost. Therapists pay a subscription to list their services and access our platform tools. We believe finding care should never be a barrier.

Therapists can log session notes and update goal progress directly in BridgeUp. Parents receive updates after each session, giving them full visibility into their child's development without needing to chase information.

Absolutely. BridgeUp is built with privacy at its core. All data is encrypted, and we follow strict data protection standards. We never sell personal data, and families have full control over what is shared with their care team.
