Practice scenarios
Each AI client has their own history, way of communicating, defences, and capacity for trust, and responds to you accordingly. This isn't about finding the right thing to say. It's about noticing what happens between you and your client, and the relationship that forms.
Every client is fictional. Starter clients are on every plan; the advanced ones, who are more defended and harder to reach, come with any paid plan.

Realistic AI clients, from straightforward first sessions to more challenging ones, so you can build your skills at a pace that suits you.
Practise the things that matter most in a session: staying with silence, showing empathy, asking open questions, and challenging gently. You can also work on setting boundaries, ending sessions, and repairing the relationship when something goes wrong.
Meet clients who are anxious, grieving, guarded, or ashamed, who find it hard to talk about feelings, or who feel stuck on a decision. These are the situations therapists often meet.
Set the difficulty to suit you. Start with clients who are open and easy to engage, then work up to clients who change the subject, ask for advice, play things down, withdraw, or are hard to connect with. Some scenarios are more challenging than others, so you can build up gradually.
Every client in the app is a fictional character, created to reflect the kinds of work therapists meet. None are based on real people. Please don't enter any real client's name, details, or notes.
Practise with an AI client, get written feedback on what worked, and go into your next session knowing what to try.
