Support for the people doing the supporting.
Clinical supervision from an experienced psychotherapist and trainer, and secure, offline practice management and Clinical Will software built by a therapist for UK private practice.
A reflective space to think clearly about your work.
Drawing on my training in Transactional Analysis, my years teaching on advanced counselling and psychotherapy courses, and my own private practice, I offer supervision that is relational, supportive and robust.
1-2-1 supervision
Regular individual sessions to explore casework, process, ethics and your own wellbeing as a practitioner.
Group supervision
Small, facilitated groups for peer learning and shared reflection, ideal for teams and agencies.
Trainees and placements
Supportive supervision for students on counselling and psychotherapy training, aligned to course requirements.

Your practice, your notes, your Clinical Will. All on your own computer.
Talking Works Practice Management is a single file that runs entirely offline in your browser. It makes no network connections, needs no server and stores nothing in the cloud. Your client data lives in a separate encrypted ‘Vault’ file, so you can update the software without ever touching your records.
Encrypted and offline
Your Vault is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, with a key derived from your passphrase (PBKDF2, 600,000 iterations). Nothing leaves your machine.
Two-key design
Your passphrase opens everything. An optional executor passcode opens clinical records, but never your private process notes.
Audit log and auto-lock
Every significant action is logged, and the Vault locks itself when you step away.
Everything your notes and records need.
Client records
Details, consent, GP and emergency contacts, status and dates, intake, summary and risk, documents and history, all in one place.
Session notes
A structured template, or SOAP and DAP layouts, with draft and sign-off. Record the session outcome and fee on each note. Later changes are added as addenda or tracked with version history; deletions are logged with a reason. Attach files and export to Word or PDF.
Private process notes
Encrypted separately and never included in exports, data requests or the executor pack.
Quick view before a session
Last session's carry-forward, reminders and risk, plus linked process notes, ready before the client arrives. An appointments page is built from each client's latest note.
Import and intake
Moving from another system? Import your client list from a spreadsheet (CSV), export your notes as Word or PDF files and bulk import them, then run both systems side by side for a transition period. Read Word and fillable PDF intake forms, and create branded fillable new-client and details-update forms.
Data requests and reminders
Build a subject-access PDF or zip, track the one-month deadline and keep a request log. Scheduled prompts draft the details-update email with a pre-filled form.
Outcome measures, money, waiting list and therapy agreement
PHQ-9, GAD-7 and CORE-10 with automatic scoring, risk flags and a progress chart for each client. Branded invoices and receipts, paid and unpaid tracking, expenses in HMRC categories and a tax-year summary. A waiting list with one-click “offer a space” emails, a fully customisable therapy agreement that clients complete as a PDF, and appointments you can add to Google, Apple or Outlook calendars. See the new features.
CPD and Supervision Log
Audit-ready CPD, in the same place as your practice records. Log CPD and supervision as you go, attach your certificates, set the target your professional body asks of you, and produce an audit-ready report or evidence pack in one click. Kept in its own encrypted file, which your clinical executor's passcode cannot open. More about the CPD log.
Care for your clients, even if you can't.
Most professional bodies expect you to have a Clinical Will. This makes it practical, and keeps it up to date alongside your records.
- Executor guide and a step-by-step checklist
- Contacts and wishes: professional bodies, insurer, supervisors and referrals
- Readiness checklist on the home page, and a ready-made executor pack
- Retention rules built in, 7 years by default, and for clients under 18 at the end of therapy, at least until they turn 25
- Deleting a record leaves an anonymous entry in a destruction register
Small things that make a difference.
Verified backups
Backup reminders, and in Chrome or Edge the backup is read back to check it worked.
One-click Vault
In Chrome or Edge, reopen your Vault in one click and save straight back to it.
Your branding
Your practice name, logo and colours across the app and every PDF.
Built-in help
A full user guide and a separate guide for your executor.
Works best in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on Windows, Mac, Chromebook or Linux, where changes save straight back to your Vault. In Safari or Firefox it works, but each save goes to your Downloads folder. iPhone, iPad and Android are not supported for running the program, though clients can fill in its forms on a phone. There is no way to recover a lost passphrase, so keep it safe.
