Train the way pilots do

Real clinical scenarios. Expert-level coaching. Safe environment to make mistakes and learn from them.

130+ client scenarios

Diverse presentations across AOD, gambling harm, mental health, family violence, financial counselling, and community corrections settings. Each client has a backstory, motivations, and realistic complexity.

Live coaching

Pause at any point to get expert-level supervision. The coach picks up the most important clinical moment and gives you specific, actionable feedback — not generic tips.

Skill-level calibrated

Coaching adapts to where you are. Beginners get concrete, encouraging guidance. Advanced practitioners get sharp, analytical supervision that pushes toward mastery.

Learning pathways

Structured progression from foundational skills through to complex clinical presentations. Track your development over time with built-in progress monitoring.

Practise anytime

No scheduling, no other people, no preparation. Open the app and start a session in under 30 seconds. Ideal for fitting skill development around clinical caseloads.

Cultural context

Practitioners work with clients from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, CALD, and refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds. The simulator builds confidence to provide culturally responsive care across these contexts.

How it works

From setup to feedback in under a minute.

1

Choose your setup

Pick a modality, clinical field, engagement type, and skill level.

2

Meet your client

A realistic AI client with a backstory, presentation style, and real complexity.

3

Get coached

Hit "Coach Me" for specific feedback on technique, timing, and clinical judgement.

4

Build mastery

Follow structured pathways. Try drills. Get full session feedback. Track your growth.

Built for the workforce that needs it most

Clinical supervision is hard to access. Practice opportunities are limited. TherapyCoach fills the gap.

Students and trainees

Get safe, unlimited practice before you sit with a real client. Build confidence in MI, CBT, or DBT technique with coaching that meets you where you are — not where textbooks assume you should be.

Early career clinicians

You know the theory. Now sharpen the craft. Practise responding to ambivalence, holding dialectical tension, or running Socratic discovery — and get feedback that's specific enough to be useful.

Experienced practitioners

Challenge yourself with advanced-level coaching that analyses timing, process, and strategic direction. Try unfamiliar fields or modalities. Push past your comfortable patterns.

Workforce development leads

Give your team access to clinical skills practice that's available 24/7, costs a fraction of face-to-face training, and covers the modalities and fields your service actually delivers.

Researcher-built. Framework-informed.

TherapyCoach was built from the inside — by a practitioner-researcher working in AOD and gambling harm services, whose research sits at the intersection of gambling harm in treatment-seeking populations. The coaching engine is anchored to the same validated fidelity and competence standards used in clinical supervision and treatment research.
