Refine your craft. Practise techniques. Restore fidelity.
For trainees building competency. For qualified therapists keeping their edge. For supervisors evidencing fidelity in their cohort. Trainer commentary on every drill, CTS-R feedback on every session, disorder-specific formulations done properly.
Your trainer’s clinical voice, embedded in every drill
Every module includes original commentary written by a BABCP-accredited CBT supervisor — the kind of in-the-moment teaching points you only get in real supervision. Not generic AI output. Not textbook summaries. Real practitioner notes.
“Every drill, every formulation prompt, every trainer note in Supervisia comes directly from thousands of hours of supervision collated from hundreds of therapists. Trainees deserve better than awkward role-plays with classmates — and I needed a better way to manage my CBT records for my neurodiversity.”
Therapist drift is real. Supervisia is the antidote.
Therapists drift from evidence-based practice after qualification. The techniques you trained hard to use — exposure, behavioural experiments, disorder-specific protocols — gradually disappear from your sessions. You lean on the therapeutic relationship. You generalise.
Outcomes get worse, but you don't notice: most therapists rate their skill “well above average” even when they aren't. The self-assessment bias is the hardest part to see.
Supervisia is where you keep your edge. Practise the techniques you've stopped using. Refresh the protocols you trained on. Score your sessions against the CTS-R framework and see — measurably — what needs work.
It's CPD that does something other than tick a box. Deliberate practice. Real feedback. The same evidence-based principles you're meant to be delivering, applied to your own work.
Deliberate practice — not more training — improves therapist outcomes
Supervisia maps directly to four decades of research on therapist training, fidelity measurement, and the role of deliberate practice in clinical expertise.
In a randomised comparison of fidelity-measurement methods, behavioural rehearsal aligned closely with direct observation, while therapist self-report and chart-stimulated recall significantly overestimated adherence. AI-client practice with CTS-R scoring is the digital analogue of behavioural rehearsal — the most accurate non-observation method studied.
Highly effective psychotherapists spend significantly more time in solitary, structured practice — reviewing recordings, drilling specific skills, seeking feedback — than their less-effective peers. The differentiator isn't qualification or years of experience. It's the cumulative hours of deliberate practice outside of session.
Standardised, protocol-based CBT supervision improved therapists' competence ratings on the CTS-R — indicating that competence is a process strengthened by active, structured feedback over time, not an event conferred by initial training. Trainer commentary embedded in every drill applies this finding at scale.
The great majority of psychological therapists rate their skill level as “well above average”, with very few seeing themselves as falling in the lower half of clinicians — a self-assessment bias that disqualifies therapist self-report as a credible measure of competence. External, CTS-R-aligned feedback is the only reliable signal.

What makes it different
Every AI client is built with a full history, family, community, culture, work, idiosyncrasies and hidden depths. They have triggers and ruptures. They respond to your progress, and if you damage the alliance badly enough, they will drop out of therapy on you. Layered on top: trainer commentary, disorder-specific formulation tools, and CTS-R feedback aligned to the BABCP competency framework. Built by BABCP-accredited supervisors and trainers, not computer programmers.
Trainer commentary on every drill
In-the-moment teaching points written by a practising supervisor. The kind of advice you only get when you bring a tricky session to supervision — but available on every exercise.
CTS-R competency feedback
Automatic scoring against the 12-item BABCP competency framework. Identify your areas of weakness, then get directed to the Supervisia skills training designed to address them.
AI clients you can’t reset
Each client has a full history, family, community, culture, work, idiosyncrasies and hidden depths. They have triggers and ruptures. They respond to your progress, and if you damage the alliance badly enough, they will drop out of therapy on you. Practise the conversations you can’t practise with classmates.
Lose a client? We have hundreds more waiting — and unlike real ones, they don’t complain, file ethics reports, or get you fired.
Disorder-specific formulation tools
Clark, Wells, Salkovskis, Ehlers-Clark, Hackmann — each model is implemented properly. Not a generic five-areas box for everything. Formulate cases the way the model intends.
