  2. Step 2

    Run the session

    Type your replies. The client stays in character and remembers what you said.

    I'm fine, honestly. Everyone stresses about exams.

    Everyone does. What does it look like for you?

How the session starts

Hi. Er, I'm Daniel. Not really sure how this works, I've never done anything like this before.

Start a session with Daniel

Clients who behave like people

Each one has a history, a reason for coming, and a way of avoiding the subject. Written with practising clinicians. You can also write clients of your own.

A rating you can act on

Every score is tied to a timestamp in your transcript, so feedback points at the moment it happened, not a vague impression. You see exactly what to do differently next time.

The rubric follows widely used counselling microskills frameworks: contracting, open questions, reflection, holding back advice, and boundaries.
