For Australian psychologists in private practice

A lot happens
between sessions.

Most of it never makes it into the room. Saria gives it somewhere to land, and gives you a structured brief before you open the door. Their week, captured between sessions, in their own words. The session starts where it matters.

01

The moments that matter get lost in translation

The 3am thought, the difficult Thursday. By the time a patient sits down, the things they most wanted to talk about have already been edited, softened, or forgotten. Not because they don't matter. Because finding the words in the moment is hard.

02

Sessions can start cold

When patient and practitioner haven't connected since last week, the opening often goes to rebuilding the week together. Saria gives patients a way to lay the groundwork beforehand, so the session can start further along.

03

Between-session experience leaves no trace

Something surfaces in the days between sessions, a feeling they can't quite name, something they keep turning over without getting anywhere. Without somewhere for it to go, patients sit with it alone. Saria gives it a place to land, and makes sure it reaches the room.

What you need, before you open the door

Every brief opens with what matters most: whether the patient has flagged they've been struggling, and what stood out this week — in their own words, not a paraphrase. Read it in under a minute and walk in oriented.

Structured signal, nothing invented

Below the safety check: a clear view of how your patient's week went, built entirely from what they wrote and chose. Nothing summarised, nothing inferred.

Grounded in their words

Saria doesn't summarise, theme, or interpret. Everything in the brief is verbatim — what your patient wrote, unchanged. The formulation stays where it belongs, with you. Their voice reaches the room intact.

Your patient named how they felt this week. You see it, before the session starts.

Patients choose how far to take each entry, from a quick note to naming a feeling to engaging with a follow-up. Whatever they share reaches you, in their own words.

For the patient, it's the closest thing to having their therapist present in the space between sessions, not through conversation, but through something left for exactly this moment.

You stay in control of what your patients see. The prompt library is yours to edit, and nothing reaches a patient without your involvement.

No AI

Saria contains no AI. The brief is built directly from verbatim patient text — nothing scanned, summarised, or interpreted. Every prompt a patient receives was written or confirmed by you. The clinical relationship stays human, because nothing in between is generated.

Patient names the emotion
In their own words, or from a short set of suggestions. Their choice reaches you unchanged.
Therapist-confirmed prompts
Every prompt is either written by you or a Saria default you've reviewed. No generated content reaches your patient without your involvement.

Documentation to support your clinical risk review.

Saria includes a consent form template, data handling summary, and compliance overview, designed to support your risk review process. We recommend discussing any new clinical tool with your indemnity insurer before going live with patients. Available in the interactive demo above.

Mandatory reporting — your obligations apply when you have knowledge

Your mandatory reporting obligations apply in the usual way when you have knowledge. The brief gives you structured patient-reported context before the session. Review it before each session, not after. The brief contains verbatim patient text. Saria does not make clinical or legal determinations, and it does not monitor in real time. That judgement remains yours. Review the brief before each session, not after.

Patient Consent Form
A template consent form covering data handling, mandatory reporting, the patient struggling flag and its limits, and patient rights under the Privacy Act 1988.

Security & Compliance Pack

Brief Retention
A defined retention and export workflow, designed to keep data on Saria only as long as it needs to be.
By design

Designed around how psychologists actually work, not around the technology.

The pre-session brief arrives in your inbox before each session, ready to review and fold into your existing notes, wherever you keep them. No EMR integration required, no change to your practice management system.

Saria moves the prep work out of the session. Signal collected between sessions, surfaced and delivered before the hour starts. A patient link, an inbox notification, a pre-session brief. That's the whole loop.

Brief in your inbox
A notification arrives before the session. No patient health data sits in the email itself.
Review the brief
A clear picture of the week, in the patient's own words. Export into your clinical records when you're ready.
Set their next prompts
After the session, update the prompts for next cycle if something's worth tracking. The loop closes with you.

Not a journal. Not a mood tracker. A place for what surfaces between sessions.

Between sessions, most patients are on their own with whatever they're carrying. Saria gives it somewhere to land — a place to capture moments as they happen, name the feeling, and carry it into the session. No app to download, no account required. Saria is a mobile-friendly web link, saved to their home screen, opened whenever it suits them. They choose how far to take each entry. Not every patient does every step every time, and that's informative too.

1

Something happens — they capture it in the moment

Not a reflection on the week. Whatever is sitting with them right now. They write in free text — no structure required. A raw entry on its own still reaches you. Takes a few minutes, whenever it surfaces.

2

If they want to, they name how it felt

They pick from a few suggested feelings or type their own. Naming a feeling is enough; they can stop here. The emotion that reaches you is one they chose, in their own words.

3

A prompt arrives, confirmed or written by their therapist

For each feeling they named, a short question arrives — part of the same moment, not a separate notification. Not every prompt asks for an answer. Some are there to be read, to slow something down. They respond in free text if it lands. If it doesn't, that's useful too.

4

Before the session — a structured check-in

In the day before each session, the patient completes a short check-in that gives you a clearer picture of how the week went, including a simple way to flag if they've been struggling. Takes a few minutes. Everything goes into the brief.

5

The practitioner arrives oriented. The patient arrives heard.

Everything reaches you exactly as they wrote it — nothing filtered, nothing reworded. You open the brief before the session; the patient walks in knowing what they were carrying has been seen.

Clinical Advisory Board — forming

We're actively recruiting our first clinical advisors. Psychologists who want to shape Saria in exchange for free access, direct input into the roadmap, and acknowledgement as a clinical advisor. No tool built for clinicians should reach them without meaningful clinical co-design.

The team
Chris Alexander
Chris Alexander, BEng (Hons) · Founder & CEO

With a background in engineering and enterprise software, Chris built Saria to bridge a specific gap he experienced as a therapy patient: the 'lost thread' at the start of sessions where momentum is often sacrificed to recapping. That patient perspective is the starting point. From here, Saria is being co-designed with practising psychologists to make sure the clinical workflow, risk profile, and governance hold up in practice.
