A relaxed, 30-minute video conversation about HELD.
Built by Dave Waterman, a BACP-accredited psychotherapist.
What practitioners are saying
“I'm using Held to help crystallise important aspects of my process in clinical work, which is especially useful as I work relationally. It has drawn my attention to things I may be missing, and aspects of the work I hadn't previously considered.
It gives me more to think about and take into supervision, while still allowing me to disregard what doesn't feel useful or relevant.”
“The feedback and reflections I get from the sessions are amazing. They really break down everything I have been thinking anyway and list it for me to take to supervision.”
Somewhere to put it down.
Space to think it through.
Sometimes you need help bringing the details together. Sometimes you need a different perspective, or a question you hadn’t thought to ask. You decide what fits and what deserves another look.
Think it through.
Request a reflection when it would help. Explore another perspective, consider a theoretical connection, or challenge something that doesn’t fit.
Pick up the thread.
Return to your notes or a quick Client Overview before the next session. Open Compass when you want more space for reflection and questions.
Reflections can be shaped by your therapeutic approach and the way you work.
Supporting your
capacity to hold.
The relationship, responsibility and judgement remain with you.
Held stays outside the therapy room, doesn’t record sessions and doesn’t replace supervision.
You decide what is useful, what to question and what to bring to supervision.
Your notes. Your choice.
Know what
you're sharing.
Save notes privately, or choose to request a reflection. Before sending, review the text prepared by the privacy scanner and edit anything that needs another look.
The scanner helps find identifying details. It can miss things; your review still matters.
You can also use Held as an encrypted notebook without requesting an AI reflection.
See the scan in a fictional example →Why I built Held.
We talk a lot about how therapists hold their clients. I kept coming back to another question: what helps us maintain our own capacity to hold?
Between sessions, we carry stories, responses, uncertainties and responsibilities. I wanted somewhere to put some of that down, think about it and return to my clients with a little more space. That’s where Held began.
