You didn't enter the mental health field to manage paperwork.

But without the right tools, that's exactly what happens.

Drowning in paper files and folders

Patient records scattered across filing cabinets, notebooks, and sticky notes. Finding anything takes too long — and losing it could cost you your registration.

Generic tools that don't meet compliance

Google Docs, Dropbox, and WhatsApp aren't built for clinical work. They don't meet POPIA or HPCSA requirements — and your patients' data deserves better.

Evenings lost to note writing

Sessions end, but the work doesn't. Writing up notes by hand after a full day of client work is exhausting and unsustainable for a solo practice.

TheraLog was built to solve exactly these problems. See how it works →

How It Works

From sign-up to paperless in one session

TheraLog is built to be set up in minutes, not days. Here's what your first 24 hours look like.

01

Set up your practice in 5 minutes

Add your practice details, upload your letterhead, and create your first client profile. No technical setup required — just sign up and go.

02

Write your first AI-assisted session note

Jot bullet points after your session. TheraLog generates a full structured clinical note — SOAP, CBT, DBT, or any template you choose. Review, edit, save. Encrypted automatically.

03

Manage your whole practice in one place

Book appointments, send secure intake forms to clients, and access your notes from any device — even offline. Your entire practice, in one secure platform.

The Solution

TheraLog replaces all of it.

One secure, purpose-built platform that fits the way South African solo practitioners actually work — even through load-shedding, even in rural areas, even without internet.

We built TheraLog because mental health practitioners shouldn't have to choose between giving clients their full attention and meeting their compliance obligations. You deserve tools that work as hard as you do.

Features

Everything you need to go paperless

Built specifically for solo private practices.

End-to-End Encryption

Your notes are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a PIN only you know. Not even TheraLog can read them.

AI-Assisted Note Writing

Generate structured clinical notes from bullet points using therapy-specific templates: SOAP, CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed, Safety Plans, and more.

Voice Dictation

Dictate notes hands-free during or after sessions. Works on-device — no audio is sent to the cloud.

Risk Flagging

Automatically detects suicidal ideation and self-harm language. Runs entirely on-device — never sent to the cloud.

POPIA Compliant

Built-in consent management, audit logs, and configurable data retention controls that meet South African legal requirements.

Works Offline

Notes save locally and sync when back online. Load-shedding and poor connectivity will never interrupt your work.

Patient Intake Forms

Send secure links to clients to complete their own intake forms remotely — before their first session.

Appointments & Calendar

Manage your full schedule in one place. View upcoming sessions, set reminders, and track availability.

Paperless Plan

Digital Consent Forms

AI-Assisted Referral Letters

Generate referral letters with your practice letterhead using AI. Review, edit, and send.

Security

Security built for clinical work

Mental health practitioners work with the most sensitive information imaginable. TheraLog is engineered so that even we can't read your clients' notes.

Zero-Knowledge Encryption

  • Your session notes are encrypted on your device using AES-256-GCM before they ever leave your browser.
  • The encryption key is derived from your personal 4-digit PIN using PBKDF2 — a key that TheraLog never sees, never stores, and cannot recover.
  • Only encrypted ciphertext is stored on our servers. If your PIN is lost, the data cannot be recovered — by anyone.

POPIA & HPCSA Aligned

  • Under POPIA, you are the Responsible Party. TheraLog acts as your Operator with all required safeguards.
  • Built-in consent capture, full audit trails, and configurable data retention periods help you meet your compliance obligations.
  • HPCSA record-keeping requirements (minimum 6 years) are supported by design.

Offline-First Architecture

  • Your notes live on your device first, cloud second. Work anywhere — through load-shedding, poor connectivity, or in areas with limited internet.
  • Data is saved locally in your browser and automatically synced to our encrypted infrastructure when you reconnect.
  • You always have access to your records, regardless of connectivity.
