Reflective thinking chat

A reflective thinking chat scoped to one client at a time.

Every client folder, on every plan, has a thinking-out-loud chat that draws on that one client's plan and recent drafts only. Compare frameworks, think through sequencing, or sit with a dilemma, without directive advice and without anything crossing into another client's material.

01What it is

A space to think out loud, anchored to one client's work.

Some questions are too small for supervision and too big to sit with alone: whether to bring a compassion-focused thread alongside the CBT consolidation, or whether to update the formulation now or wait for the plan-and-review. The chat is where you articulate those, with a partner that has read the same notes you have and replies in the voice of peer consultation.

02What it does not do

Boundaries the chat refuses to cross.

There are moves the reflective chat will not make, so the clinical work stays yours from the question to the answer.

  1. 01

    Will not diagnose.

    The chat will not offer a diagnostic conclusion or differential, because diagnosis is your professional act, made with the assessment material in front of you rather than produced as a chat reply.

  2. 02

    Will not recommend treatment.

    It will not tell you which intervention to use, which protocol to follow, or which medication to consider, but it can help you articulate the options you are weighing while leaving the choice with you.

  3. 03

    Will not predict risk.

    Risk is your formulation, so the chat will not generate a risk score, predict an outcome, or substitute itself for your clinical judgement.

  4. 04

    Will not cross client folders.

    What lives in one client's folder stays there, with the chat anchored to that client's plan and recent drafts only, so it cannot draw analogies to other people you see.

03Reflective logs

A private place for the material that never reaches a transcript.

Dated entries for ruptures, countertransference, what a session brought up in you. They are private by default, de-identified on your device like everything else, and you can mark an entry to be woven into your next supervision brief.

04Privacy

The same protections as everything else in Cogent.

Identifying details are masked in your browser before any message reaches the AI, and chat history and log entries are stored encrypted in the UK under the client folder, never used to train any model. Clear a chat, or delete a folder entirely, at any time.

05The general chat

A separate chat for the questions that are not about one client.

How schema therapy handles polarised modes, or what the recent neurodevelopmental literature says about combined presentations. The general chat sits outside the folders for those, in the same peer-consultation voice, declining the same things. No client material is loaded into it, so keeping identifying details out of that one conversation stays in your hands.
