I see you.
✦ It's 4:45pm Friday, you've seen six clients, and you've got four case notes still open with nothing in them.
✦ You remember every important thing your client said, but the second you open the template, your brain goes completely blank.
✦ You rewrite the same opening sentence three times because it sounds either too clinical or not professional enough.
✦ You promised yourself you wouldn't do notes on the couch tonight. You're doing notes on the couch tonight.
Why I made this
I used to sit in front of a blank case note at the end of the day and feel my whole body resist it. I'd just spent hours fully present with clients, and then I had to switch into a completely different part of my brain to write it all down. Some days it took me longer to start a note than to write it.
I'm neurodivergent, and for a long time I thought that meant I was just bad at admin. That I needed more discipline, or a better planner, or to stop leaving things until Friday.
Then I started supervising other counsellors, and I heard the same story over and over. Good, caring practitioners losing their evenings to notes.These were counsellors who cared deeply and worked hard. What they needed wasn’t more discipline. It was somewhere to start.
So I built myself a set of starter phrases and prompts. Once I had words to begin with, the note mostly wrote itself. My Friday evenings came back. Now I want yours to come back too.
What if you never had to start a case note from a blank screen again?
What if the first sentence was already there waiting for you?
