A clinical will sets out what should happen for your clients, and their records, if you die or are suddenly unable to work. It names a clinical executor, a trusted colleague bound by confidentiality, who can contact your clients, offer support or onward referral, and look after your records.
Read our full guide to clinical wills →Each person sees exactly what they need, and nothing more. Confidentiality is built into the design, not added as a setting.
Keep your client list, write your letters, choose your executor and emergency contact, and test that it all works.
A trusted colleague, bound by confidentiality. Your plan stays sealed until it's activated, then they have what they need to contact your clients with care.
Holds your executors' details and can send a holding message, blind, so no client turns up to a locked door.
Add clients in minutes and choose how each should be reached. The right person gets the message, in the right way.
Mark each client as current, ended but kept on the list, or ended and removed. Removed clients are hidden from your list but kept for a period you choose. Nothing is deleted without a warning first, and anyone can be brought back to the list in a tap.
Pre-written letters are provided for each one. Use them as they are, make a small tweak, or rewrite them completely, while you're calm and well.
Messages go by email and text. Send both together, either the full message by text or a text letting the client know an email is on its way, and flag any client who will need a phone call instead.
Your clients will never receive marketing or anything unnecessary from us. That would be unethical, and it isn't what this is for.
Connect your appointment diary and your emergency contact can send the holding message to upcoming appointments straight away, without ever seeing a name or contact detail.
As a last resort, if neither your executor nor your deputy executor can be reached, your emergency contact can blind-send your approved letter to every client, so no one is left without word.
Background checks run regularly to confirm your clients' contact details still work, without your clients receiving anything. Reminders you set prompt you to review your list, and to check that your executor and emergency contact are still willing and able.
Most executors are therapists too, and many arrangements are reciprocal. Switch roles in a tap: my clients, my executors, my emergency contact, and the colleagues I'm executor for.
Acting as someone's executor or emergency contact costs nothing. Your own clinical will is free for up to 5 clients; beyond that, it's the Practice plan.
Your client list is encrypted on your phone before it goes anywhere. Our servers only ever hold the sealed version, which we cannot open. It unlocks only when your plan is activated, and only for the people you've chosen. [Confirm against the app's actual design]
Activation needs your executor to confirm, and you're notified straight away, with time to cancel if you're well. [Confirm activation steps]
Emergency contact trigger messages without ever seeing who receives them. Contact details never leave the box.
Account data held on UK servers [provider] under UK GDPR. Client details are only ever stored encrypted. [ICO registration number]
Secure sign-in with two-step verification, and a log of every activation and send that you can review. [Confirm]
My wife is a psychotherapist. Her clinical will used to be a password-protected spreadsheet, handed to a colleague who had agreed to be her executor, and she to theirs in return.
It's not hard to update a spreadsheet. But a spreadsheet never reminds you to, and it never tells you an email address has stopped working. And on the worst day, it leaves someone grieving to turn rows of data into thirty-odd individual emails, each needing compassion and careful follow-up. Anyone who has been an executor for a parent or sibling knows how heavy that can be.
securebase.care takes that weight off your executor, and makes keeping your plan current something that happens almost by itself.
Less than the cost of one session a year.
