John, age 51
Listening — speak naturally.
Reps are the rarest part of training.
You read the books. You watch the tapes. You sit through the role-plays. Then you meet a real client — and there's no rewind, no second take, no honest feedback in the moment. Practice gives you somewhere to do the work between sessions.
Reps without real risk
Every client is simulated. You can sit with silence, ask the wrong question, or try a new modality — without anyone in the room paying for your learning.
Feedback you can act on
After each session, a supervisor-style review: what worked, what you missed, and one specific thing to try next time. Not a score-card. A direction.
On your own clock
Ten-minute sessions, any time of day. Squeeze a rep between cases, or do three back-to-back on a Sunday. Your skills move with the time you put in.
Three steps. Ten minutes a session.
Pick a client. Have the conversation. Read the notes. Repeat with someone harder.
Choose a client
Browse the practice list. Each client comes with a presenting problem, a personality, and a target skill set written by a licensed clinician.
Have the session
Up to ten minutes of voice or text conversation. Three hints available if you get stuck. The client responds in character — defences, deflections, and all.
Read your feedback
A structured supervisor's note arrives within seconds: strengths, missed opportunities, and a clear suggestion for what to try next session.
The notes you wish your supervisor had time to write.
Each review is grounded in the actual transcript — not a generic rubric. It quotes you back to yourself, names the moments that mattered, and points to one thing to try in your next rep.
- ·Strengths, with the exact lines that earned them.
- ·Missed openings — where the client offered depth and you stayed with the surface.
- ·One specific intervention to try next time.
- ·A score across five skills, tracked over time so you can see what's growing.
Session with John, 51
Recently divorced · avoidant · stays at the surface
You let the silence sit after John said ‘the boys are doing okay, mostly.’ That pause was the first time he stayed with the feeling instead of moving on. Your reflection — ‘mostly is doing a lot of work in that sentence’ — was the moment the session opened.
When he said ‘I just overthink things,’ you reassured him. That closed the door. He was offering you a way in to the self-criticism — naming it, even — and the empathy redirected him out of it.
When a client labels their own pattern (‘I overthink’, ‘I'm useless’) — stay there. A simple ‘tell me more about that’ often opens more than the cleverest reframe.
Clients written by clinicians, not chatbots.
Each client has a backstory, a personality, and the kind of defences that show up in real rooms. Some open quickly. Some won't open at all unless you slow down.
Recently divorced. Polite, hesitant, talks about work and parenting before anything deeper.
In an unhappy marriage, conflicted about leaving. Articulate, warm, and quick to soften her own distress.
High-functioning anxiety. Articulate and fast-talking; intellectualises the moment feeling gets close.
What you're building, one rep at a time.
Empathy
Hearing what the client is feeling — not what you’d feel in their place.
Active listening
Letting silence land. Reflecting accurately. Not rushing to fix.
Open questions
Questions that open the room, not ones that wrap it up.
Interventions
Choosing the right move — challenge, reframe, sit with — at the right moment.
Rapport
The working alliance. Pace, warmth, and the sense that the client is met.
A serious tool for serious training.
Personas are written by licensed clinicians — speech style, defences, openness, volatility, the works. Nothing is generated from a template.
Reviews follow a structured supervisor format — client experience, what worked, what was missed, and a relational read on the session.

In case you're wondering.
Who is Practice for?
Therapists in training and qualified clinicians who want more reps. It works for pre-licensure trainees, supervisees prepping for sessions, and experienced therapists trying out a new modality without using a real client as practice.
Are the clients real people?
No. Every client is an AI persona — but the persona is written by a licensed clinician, with a backstory, a personality, and the kinds of defences that show up in real rooms. They’re designed to behave like real early-therapy clients, not to perform.
How long is a session?
Up to ten minutes. That’s long enough for a meaningful arc and short enough that you can fit one between cases. You can end early if you reach a natural close.
What does the feedback actually look like?
A structured supervisor’s note: client experience, what worked, what was missed, a relational read, and one concrete thing to try next session. It quotes the transcript — it’s not a generic rubric.
What does it cost?
There’s a free plan to try the format. Paid plans include a monthly session bundle and only charge an overage rate if you go past it. You can cancel any time and keep your access until the end of the period.
Is this a substitute for supervision or training?
No. Practice is for the reps between supervision — somewhere to try things, get fast feedback, and build the muscle. It doesn’t replace clinical training, supervision, or licensure.
