Session notes and supervision records.

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.

70,000

Registered counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. BACP and UKCP require documented clinical records, regular supervision, and continuing professional development.

Supervision

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.

GDPR

Counselling records contain special category data under GDPR. Storage, access, retention, and destruction must be documented. A data breach involving therapy notes is catastrophic.

Without CounselPad

  • Session notes written in a locked notebook with no backup
  • Supervision sessions happen but the log is not kept consistently
  • CPD hours tracked informally across courses and reading
  • Client consent for data processing not documented per client
  • BACP/UKCP membership renewal evidence assembled last minute

With CounselPad

  • Encrypted digital session records per client with structured notes
  • Supervision log with date, supervisor, topics, reflections, and actions
  • CPD portfolio with hours, activities, and reflection per entry
  • Client consent records per individual with retention schedule
  • Membership compliance self-assessment with evidence from live data

Nine features. One subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Does it replace my booking system?

No. Your booking system handles appointments and payments. CounselPad handles the compliance documentation your booking system does not touch: session notes, supervision, CPD, and membership prep.

Is it secure enough for therapy notes?

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. UK-hosted infrastructure. CounselPad treats therapy records as special category data under GDPR.

Does it work for different modalities?

Yes. Session note templates are flexible. Whether you practise CBT, person-centred, psychodynamic, or integrative therapy, CounselPad adapts to your way of recording.

Can I export my data?

Yes. CSV and PDF export on all plans. Your data is yours. Cancel any month and take everything with you.
