Deliberately focused

Records—not another system running your practice

PracticeKit stays focused on practitioner records, so sensitive information is not pulled into features you do not need.

No booking or billing

Keep the diary and payment tools that already work. PracticeKit does not become another client-facing system.

No AI listening

No recording, transcription or AI-generated notes from sessions. You author every professional record.

No vendor cloud database

Working records stay on your iPad—protected by Apple’s on-device security model. Optional backups are encrypted with a password only you know.

Apple security · on-device by design

Built on Apple’s data security. Kept on your iPad.

PracticeKit is an iPad app first—so it can use Face ID, Touch ID, hardware-backed encryption and iPadOS protections for the most sensitive records a counsellor holds.

iPad only

Designed exclusively for iPad. One dedicated device for professional records, not another multi-platform cloud account.

No PracticeKit cloud

Working records stay on your iPad. Client data never passes through a PracticeKit server.

Face ID & Touch ID

App lock uses Apple biometrics or your device passcode, with auto-lock and content hidden in App Switcher.

Encrypted backups you control

Optional exports use AES-256-GCM with a password you choose. The key never leaves your control.

Common questions

Before you register

Straight answers for counsellors evaluating PracticeKit ahead of launch.

What is PracticeKit?

A private professional-record iPad app for UK counsellors and therapists. Client notes, reflective CPD, supervision and safeguarding in one place—without a PracticeKit cloud database, client accounts or AI session transcription.

Why is it an iPad app?

So it can leverage Apple’s Face ID, Touch ID, hardware-backed encryption and on-device app security. Sensitive counselling records stay on your iPad rather than in a vendor cloud.

Where is my client data stored?

On your iPad, protected by Apple platform security plus PracticeKit app lock. We do not synchronise client data to a PracticeKit cloud database. Optional backup exports are encrypted with a password only you know.

Does it record or transcribe sessions?

No. PracticeKit does not record, transcribe or generate notes from counselling sessions. You decide what belongs in the professional record.

Who is it for?

Qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and therapists practising in the UK who use an iPad. Clients do not book, pay, message or create accounts through it. It is not a medical device and does not provide clinical advice.

When does it launch?

PracticeKit is coming to the App Store for iPad. Register below and we’ll notify you when early access is ready.

Built by a counsellor, for counsellors

Designed from real practice

PracticeKit was founded by Helen Hughes, a BACP-registered therapist with over a decade in practice across Staffordshire and Derbyshire. It started as the private place she needed for her own professional records—structured enough to be useful, simple enough to keep current.
