Manage clients, appointments, session notes, reminders, receipts, and practice finances from one professional desktop app — designed for private practitioners who value privacy, clarity, and complete control over their client data.
Before you install: Windows may display a security warning saying "Windows protected your PC." This is normal for independent software from a new publisher. Click "More info" → "Run anyway" to proceed. ProvenTherapy does not connect to any cloud server or upload your data.

ProvenTherapy is not generic business software dressed up for healthcare. It is a therapist-focused desktop application built around the actual flow of private practice.
Simple enough to use every day. Structured enough to support professional record-keeping. Secure enough to respect the profound sensitivity of client information. Your notes, sessions, and client details are never uploaded to any cloud server — ever.
A comprehensive overview of ProvenTherapy — features, pricing, and clinical rationale. Ideal for sharing with colleagues or a practice manager.
No fluff. No clutter. Just the tools that matter to private practitioners every single day.
Format clinical notes effortlessly with a focused, distraction-free writer. Keep plans and observations organised exactly how you work.
Attach GP letters, referral forms, and PDF assessments directly to each client's digital file. No more loose paper or scattered folders.
Organise clients by referral type, presenting issue, or session category to track your practice trends and manage your caseload with clarity.
Track every euro. Generate income and expense reports for your tax return in one click — no accountant needed for the essentials.
Schedule sessions, track attendance, send reminders, and print receipts instantly from a single, clean interface.
Secure your entire practice to a USB stick or external drive in seconds. Your backup, your control — no third-party cloud required.
Structured clinical goals linked to assessment scores and session notes. Track progress session by session with goal-to-session linkage and formal review history.
29 curated resources authored by Dr MG Lazarus — covering anxiety, grief, relationships, assertiveness, sleep, and more. Send any resource directly to a client by email from inside the app.
AI-guided clinical reflection after every session. 25 supervision prompts across five clinical categories — countertransference, formulation, systemic thinking, solution focus, and ethical awareness.
Sync appointments to Google Calendar or Apple iCloud with privacy-aware titles — client names never appear in external calendars. CalDAV available on all plans.
Enrol a client in a structured 30-day grief support programme authored by Dr MG Lazarus. Modules are delivered automatically by email on your chosen schedule — daily, weekly, or fortnightly.
Consent management, Subject Access Request PDF export, right-to-erasure, audit logs, and data retention notifications — all built in.
20+ validated assessments — from PHQ-9 to ACE — completed in-session or sent to clients privately. Answers return by email; scores are calculated automatically in seconds.
20+ validated clinical assessment instruments, built directly into the app. Run an assessment during any session or send it privately to a client — the score is calculated automatically in seconds.
How it works — three simple steps
Choose any of the 20+ validated instruments directly inside the app.
In-Session: complete together during the appointment. Send to Client: client receives a private online link — no identifying information included.
Client's responses arrive by email. Input them in the app with a few clicks — the score and clinical result are calculated instantly.
Privacy by design. The questionnaire sent to clients contains no client-identifiable information. Responses return to the therapist by email and are entered into the app manually — keeping the client's identity fully protected at every stage.
Clinical Assessment Tools are included in the Elite Scribe plan and unlocked during your 14-day free trial.
Built for practitioners who want greater control over sensitive client records. Your data stays on your machine — no cloud, no surveillance.
Follows the rhythm of actual therapy work: intake, appointments, documentation, receipts, reminders, and financial tracking.
No technical background needed. The interface is clear, practical, and designed to reduce friction rather than create it.
Stop juggling separate tools for notes, appointments, receipts, and records. Manage your entire practice from one system.
Especially well-suited to solo therapists and small practices — structure, clarity, and control without unnecessary complexity.
Developed in real counselling contexts with real clients, by a practising therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience.
29 therapeutic resources written by Dr MG Lazarus, drawn from three published books. Send any resource to a client by email directly from the session notes screen.
The Reflective Supervision Assistant guides you through 25 clinical prompts after each session — supporting your professional development between supervision appointments.
