What CDRA Is and How It Works

For registered psychotherapists who want to process sessions more deeply — and walk into the next one better prepared.

CDRA is an AI-powered clinical thinking partner that helps you reflect after sessions, explore your clinical thinking, and prepare for what's next.

It doesn't replace supervision or the therapeutic relationship.

It supports the space between them.

Reflect

After a session, capture what happened in the room and how you're coming out of it.

Write your session notes, process reflections, countertransference observations, or anything that feels clinically significant. Type or dictate — raw and unedited if you wish.

Before anything is analysed, your notes pass through a privacy layer designed to remove identifying details.

Explore

CDRA analyses your reflections through the lens of your modality, theoretical orientation, and clinical style.

It helps you think about:

  • Themes and patterns
  • Relational dynamics
  • Countertransference
  • Possible interventions
  • Safeguarding considerations

The reflection isn't the end of the process. You can challenge the analysis, question its assumptions, and refine the thinking. Often the most useful insights emerge through this dialogue.

When you want to stay with a theme for longer, Go Deeper mode offers a more exploratory conversation — helping you think through what feels important, unfinished, or difficult to name.

Prepare

Before your next session, CDRA creates a pre-session compass — a brief orientation to help you reconnect with the work.

  • Key themes to hold in mind
  • Relational considerations
  • Countertransference reflections
  • Possible areas of focus

Alongside this, CDRA builds a living working formulation that develops over time as sessions accumulate and patterns emerge.

Privacy and Security

Therapy notes require a different level of care. Here's how CDRA handles yours.

De-identification

Before notes are processed, a separate AI privacy layer attempts to remove names and identifying details. This is a best-effort process, not a guarantee. Avoiding identifiable information in your notes remains the strongest protection.

The de-identified version is used only for processing and is never stored.

Your original notes are always saved — encrypted with your passphrase, accessible only to you.

Encryption

Your notes are encrypted before storage using AES-256-GCM. The encryption key never lives on CDRA servers, and no human at CDRA can read your notes.

AI Processing

CDRA uses Anthropic's Claude via API. Session content is never used to train AI models.

Voice Input

You can dictate your session notes hands-free. Voice processing happens entirely on your device — CDRA never receives or stores audio. Only the text you choose to submit is sent.

Personalised to Your Practice

During onboarding, you tell CDRA about:

  • Your modality and theoretical orientation
  • Your practice setting
  • Your client population
  • Your own clinical tendencies, blind spots, and relational pulls

This shapes every reflection, challenge, and countertransference insight. The more you use CDRA, the more personalised the experience becomes.

What CDRA Is Not

Not a replacement for supervision

Anything that influences your clinical thinking belongs in supervision.

Not a clinical authority

CDRA may be wrong, incomplete, or not fit your way of working. You decide what's useful.

Not for crisis or safeguarding decisions

Always follow your established safeguarding procedures.

Not independent knowledge of your client

CDRA works from your reflections and observations — not from anything it independently knows.

Clinical judgement remains yours.
