Your whole CPD year in one place.

Free to use on iPhone, Android or any web browser. Premium is optional.
The bit every therapist recognises
For most of my years in practice, my CPD record was a drawer full of certificates and a spreadsheet I updated twice a year in a mild panic.
Every therapist I know has some version of the same system. Nobody enjoys it, and nobody feels quite on top of it.
So I built the thing I could not find.
What it does
Log CPD in minutes
Courses, workshops, reading, peer discussion, reflective writing — whatever counts, log it as you go instead of reconstructing your year from memory. A progress ring shows your hours against your annual target.
Keep supervision in view
Record supervision sessions and see your monthly hours at a glance.
Keep your renewal dates in one place
Track renewal dates across BACP, UKCP, NCPS, BABCP, BPS, HCPC, COSCA and more. If you hold more than one registration, it handles that too.
Export an audit-ready PDF (Premium)
Produce a clean, structured record of your CPD and supervision whenever you need it — for appraisal, for supervision, or simply for your own peace of mind.
Reflect, privately (optional)
There is an AI reflection assistant built in: a space to think a piece of practice through and turn it into CPD evidence. I have been deliberate about how it works, and you can read exactly what it does and does not see below. You can also ignore it entirely — every other part of the app works without it.
Ideas when you are stuck
A built-in library of CPD activity suggestions, for the years when inspiration runs dry.
Free, with an optional Premium
Free, for everyone: CPD and supervision logging, your progress ring and renewal dates, calendar import, the CPD suggestions library, reading the community feed, and 10 conversations a month with the reflection assistant.
Premium adds audit-ready PDF exports of your CPD and supervision records, unlimited reflections, and posting to the community feed. It is £5.99 a month or £49 a year, and you can subscribe in the iPhone or Android app.
There is no card needed to start. Create an account with an email address and a password and you are in. Prefer the phone app? Get it on the App Store or Google Play.
Your data
Therapists ask harder questions about data than most people, and rightly so. Here are straight answers.
Where it lives
Your account and everything you record are held on UK-based servers.
The reflection assistant — yes, it is AI, and here is exactly how it works
It does not run on ChatGPT, Claude, or any other third-party AI service. It runs on a machine I own, in the UK, so nothing you write is sent to an outside AI company to process or to train on. Before anything reaches the model, a guardrail layer blocks client-identifiable detail — postcodes, NHS numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and a name paired with an age or a location. And your conversations are not stored as text: the record kept of each exchange holds only a cryptographic fingerprint, which cannot be turned back into what you wrote.
If you would rather not use it at all, don’t. Everything else in the app works without it.
It is not a client records system
Hear4U Therapist CPD is for your professional development record. The reflection assistant is built to block client-identifiable detail before it reaches the model — but the rest of the app is an ordinary set of forms, and it will not stop you typing whatever you like into a CPD note. So please apply the same judgement you would in your own case notes: keep clients unidentifiable.
Who can see what
I run this service, so, like anyone operating a service, I have administrative access to the database. I do not read people’s records and would have no reason to — but I would rather tell you that plainly than imply a technical barrier that does not exist. Your reflection conversations are the exception: they genuinely are not stored in a readable form, by anyone, including me.
Your choices
Two-factor authentication is available if you want it, and off by default if you do not. You can delete your account and everything in it yourself, at any time, from inside the app.
Registered and assessed
Hear4U Counselling Ltd is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (registration ZC178330), and a Data Protection Impact Assessment has been carried out for the app and is kept under review.

Who built it
I am Oliver Pool, a BACP-registered counsellor and the founder of Hear4U Counselling Ltd. I built this because I needed it myself, and it has been shaped from the start by the practitioners who tested it.
If something about it irritates you, I would genuinely like to know.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Logging CPD and supervision, tracking renewal dates and the core features are free, with no card and no trial to cancel. Premium is an optional upgrade for PDF exports, unlimited reflections and community posting.
Do I need to download anything?
You can, or not. It is on the App Store and Google Play, and it also runs in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Your account works across all of them.
Does it work if I am not with BACP?
Yes. It is built around BACP and NCPS requirements, and it sets your CPD and supervision targets from your own professional body, including UKCP, COSCA, ACC, BPC, BABCP, BPS and HCPC. Where a body sets no fixed figure, you set your own goal. It also works if you hold more than one registration. For BABCP members, it tracks the 5 CPD activities with reflective statements, 6 hours of CBT skills development and up to one non-CBT activity over the 12 months to your accreditation anniversary. It also tracks live-observation and face-to-face supervision, including the 45-minute monthly minimum for part-time members, and Premium members can download a BABCP Reaccreditation Record. Hear4U is independent of BABCP and not endorsed by it. UKCP’s five-year total is coming in a later update.
What happens to my records if I stop using it?
They are yours. Anyone, free or Premium, can export their full CPD and supervision record as a data file from inside the app at any time, and Premium members can also export it as a PDF. If you would rather it was all gone, you can delete your account and everything in it yourself.
How much does Premium cost?
£5.99 a month or £49 a year (UK prices). You subscribe in the iPhone or Android app, and you can cancel at any time from your Apple or Google account.
Is it a replacement for supervision?
No, and it is not designed to be. It is a record-keeping and reflection tool. The reflection assistant supports your own thinking; it does not supervise you, diagnose anything, or give clinical advice.
Can I use it for client notes?
No. Please do not. It is for your professional development record only.
