Counselling compliance,
made simple.

Helen knew there had to be a better way.

Helen Hughes has been a BACP-registered counsellor for over a decade. Across her practice in Staffordshire and Derbyshire — seeing clients in Burton on Trent, Lichfield, and beyond — she's helped hundreds of people through anxiety, trauma, depression, and the full complexity of human experience.

But behind every client session, there was a stack of admin that never got easier. CPD hours tracked in a spreadsheet. Supervision sessions logged on paper. Session notes in one app, safeguarding records somewhere else. Compliance requirements scattered across half a dozen places — none of them designed for how a counsellor actually works.

"I kept thinking: I have a Diploma in Counselling, a decade of practice, and I'm spending hours every month wrestling with spreadsheets just to prove I'm doing my job properly. There had to be a better way."

So Helen built one. PracticeKit started as a tool for her own practice — a single, secure place to manage everything BACP expects of a professional counsellor. It worked. And now she's making it available to every BACP member who's ever felt the same frustration.
