We Know the Challenges You Face
You trained to help people, not to become an administrator
Drowning in Paperwork
Session notes, invoices, consent forms, risk assessments—the admin never stops, eating into your personal time.
Scheduling Chaos
Back-and-forth emails to book appointments, forgotten sessions, and last-minute cancellations that disrupt your week.
Billing Headaches
Chasing unpaid invoices, tracking expenses, and trying to understand your practice finances across spreadsheets.
Compliance Anxiety
Worrying whether you're meeting GDPR requirements, BACP standards, and keeping proper records for insurance.
You're not alone. Research shows counsellors spend 10-15 hours per week on administrative tasks. That's time that could be spent with clients, in supervision, or taking care of your own wellbeing. Counselling Buddy was built specifically to give you that time back.
