For therapists in private practice

The AI practice partner for psychological therapists

Aurical writes your session notes in your own style, helps you prepare for each session, builds customised tools based on the session context, and keeps your clients engaged between appointments.

For clinical and counselling psychologists, CBT therapists, psychotherapists and counsellors. Solo practitioners and group practices.
What Aurical does

Less time on paperwork. More attention for the person in front of you.

Everything is designed around how talking therapy is actually practised, and you review and approve everything before it is used.

Session notes written in your style

Aurical drafts each note after the session in the structure and language you normally use, based on pre-loaded templates or your own personal template.

  • ✓Record the session or type your own notes
  • ✓Audio is turned into text and not stored
  • ✓You edit and approve before anything is saved

Create custom tools, made for the moment, live in session

Ask Aurical for what you need as the conversation unfolds. Say “create a behavioural experiment based on what we just talked about” and you get one built around your client’s own situation, not a generic worksheet. Upload your own templates and Aurical will turn them into customised tools ready for when you need them.

  • ✓Behavioural experiments, thought records and more, pre-loaded as standard
  • ✓Tailored to what was said in the room
  • ✓Shared with your client when you choose

Session preparation support

Before each appointment Aurical gives you a short recap of recent sessions, a mood trend, the homework you set and responses submitted, and bullet point reminders for the session.

  • ✓Summary of the last three sessions
  • ✓Mood graph and flagged risk language
  • ✓Homework completed, or not, with a prompt to follow up

A simple portal for your clients

A single online space for clients to use between sessions. Clients can complete the tasks you set, read the session summaries you share, log their mood, book appointments and fill in outcome measures such as PHQ-9, GAD-7 and CORE-10.

  • ✓AI-written content is shared only after you approve it
  • ✓Tasks completed and responses submitted back to the therapist
  • ✓Scores and mood charted for you automatically
  • ✓No direct interaction between AI and the client

Admin that looks after itself

Take bookings automatically, sync your Microsoft or Google calendar, take payments and securely store your notes, all using a simple accessible dashboard.

  • ✓Set your availability on the calendar and clients can self-book via a link or the client portal
  • ✓Ask Aurical “book Sarah in for next Thursday at 10.00AM”
  • ✓Create invoices (via Stripe), send payment links and get notified when they are paid
Data safety

Your clients trust you with their most private information. We treat it that way.

Therapy records are special-category health data under UK GDPR, the most protected kind. Aurical is built to meet UK GDPR, and these are the commitments we build around.

Your data stays in the UK and EU

Hosting, transcription and AI processing all happen within the UK and EU.

Client information is encrypted

The most sensitive fields, such as notes and clinical content, are encrypted before they are stored, in addition to standard database encryption, so the company hosting the database cannot read them.

Never used to train AI

Your clients' data is not used to train AI. The AI provider processes it without keeping it.

You stay in control

No AI-generated clinical content reaches a client until you have reviewed and approved it. The AI drafts, but you decide.

Audio is opt-in

Clients give consent before any recording is transcribed. Audio is not stored, only the text. If a client does not opt in, transcription is switched off and you can type notes manually.

Built for UK GDPR

Aurical is built to meet UK GDPR requirements for health data. A Data Processing Agreement is provided, and the privacy notice is written for clients in plain English.

Who is behind it

Built by a practising clinical psychologist

Hi, I’m Dr Martin Parsons, a clinical psychologist trained in the UK, qualified for over 15 years and with experience of working in private practice. I built Aurical to help reduce the administrative burden on therapists, both inside and outside of the clinic room, and to help clients stay more connected to their therapy between sessions.

I created every feature based on what I wanted in my own work, but Aurical will grow and develop based on what you want in yours.
