Your booking system handles appointments and payments. Nobody handles the compliance trail BACP and UKCP expect: session records, supervision logs, CPD portfolios, client consent, data protection. CounselPad handles all of it.
Registered counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. BACP and UKCP require documented clinical records, regular supervision, and continuing professional development.
BACP requires a minimum of 1.5 hours of supervision per month. The supervision log must evidence regular, reflective practice. Missing supervision sessions is an ethical breach.
Counselling records contain special category data under GDPR. Storage, access, retention, and destruction must be documented. A data breach involving therapy notes is catastrophic.
