We’re building the tools that let therapy learn from what actually happens in the room.

Therapy supervision still runs on memory. The recording has long been the gold standard and stayed rare, because the friction of consent, storage and the hours of review was never resolved. psylab takes that friction away and turns the recording into structured reflection the clinician controls.

psylab is built with practising clinicians, and with a leading psychotherapy researcher as our clinical advisor. We have early clinical users in Norway and abroad, and a research collaboration with a psychotherapy quality lab.

The reason almost nobody kept a recording is a good one, so it was the first thing we had to design for. psylab never asks who your client is. It doesn’t ask for a name, a date of birth or a personal number, because nothing in it needs them. A case has a title you choose, and we ask you to make it one that means something to you and nothing to anyone else.

What was said in the room is pseudonymised on its way in. Names, places, dates and the details that would point to a person are replaced, and the clinical meaning stays. It isn’t a setting, and there’s no version of psylab without it. The note, the feedback and anything you ask about a session are written from that text, so nothing after that step sees the original. We say pseudonymised rather than anonymised on purpose: it makes a client much harder to recognise, and we’d rather not claim more than that.

The recording itself isn’t kept. Audio is transcribed and then let go, and only the pseudonymised transcript stays. If you keep the audio so a supervisor can hear a session, the voice is changed first, and the original is deleted. That is what makes it safe to study your own work here, and to let AI help you with it: what’s on the page is the session, without the details that would identify a person.

We’d like to hear from clinicians, researchers, and people who simply want psychology to have this. The amounts are small and the terms are ours. We answer to the clinicians who use psylab, and that is the company you’d own a piece of.

We can’t tell you what that piece will be worth. If you want a part in it anyway, tell us who you are and why this interests you.

psylab is built by a small company in Oslo that hasn’t taken venture money. Raising tends to mean owing someone a rate of growth, and what a company owes shows up in the product: the price creeps up, and your data starts to look like an asset. We want to owe the people who use this.

So far psylab has been paid for out of our own pockets. From early access on, we want it paid for by the clinicians who use it, at one price for every therapist, held for the people already paying it. A few of them may come to own a small piece of the company. Nothing here depends on hitting a number by the end of a quarter.

We’re doing this because we think the quality of mental health care can go up, and that it starts with therapists being able to look at their own work. We also think AI can be used well here, on the clinician’s side, if the people building it are careful about what it’s for. psylab is our attempt to be careful.
