For therapists, counsellors, coaches, and allied practitioners

Better-prepared clients. Cleaner first sessions. No platform lock-in.

Evaligned helps adults complete structured self-reflection before they seek support. When a client chooses to book with you, they can share a consented pattern brief covering their scores, pattern archetype, central tension, contextual factors and session intention.

You keep your own booking process, payment flow and professional relationship. Evaligned does not take referral fees, commissions or control of the client relationship.

Scope: Evaligned is not therapy, not diagnosis, not crisis support and not a replacement for practitioner judgement. It is a structured self-awareness and between-session reflection tool.

A note from the founder

Building a bridge between self-awareness and professional support

As a holistic practitioner — and earlier in my corporate career — I kept seeing the same pattern: people rarely experience life’s challenges in neat, separate categories. A client may be navigating burnout, loss of meaning, relationship strain, depletion, grief, or a major life transition. Sometimes one after another. Sometimes overlapping. Yet the wellbeing industry is highly fragmented.

No single practitioner can support every dimension of a person’s life. Nor should they be expected to. Evaligned was built to give people a free, structured self-awareness assessment that surfaces the patterns behind their current situation — and to support a trusted network of practitioners where aligned referrals are seen as a strength, not a lost opportunity.

Evaligned is not being built to replace practitioners. The goal with the help from AI is to help people reflect earlier, recognise patterns sooner, and reach the right kind of human support with more clarity and readiness. Practitioners remain central to the model with the network and service being built carefully to ensure consent, scope, safety and professional judgement are baseline.

I would love to welcome you as a practitioner partner.

Why practitioners join

Why practitioners join Evaligned

The practitioner directory is built around one principle: surface the right practitioner for the client without compromising the practitioner’s independence, economics, or clinical relationship.

Better-prepared clients

Clients arrive with structured reflection already completed, making it easier to understand what they want help with and where the first conversation may need to begin.

No platform lock-in

You keep your existing booking, payment, session management and client relationship. Evaligned does not force practitioners into a closed marketplace.

No referral fees or commission

Listing is free. Evaligned does not take a percentage of your sessions, charge per referral, or sell client enquiries to the highest bidder.

Consent-based context

Clients choose what to share, when to share it, and with whom. Consent is granular, revocable and time-limited.

Human support remains central

Evaligned is deliberately designed to hand clients back to qualified humans when human support is the right next step.

Three ways to work with us

Three ways practitioners can work with Evaligned

You don’t need to commit to all three. Many practitioners start with the directory; others prefer to use Evaligned as a structured self-reflection resource for their existing clients first.

Join the directory

Be discoverable by Evaligned members seeking aligned professional support. Your profile, your booking system, your prices, your consent flow.

An anonymised pattern brief, end to end

The example below is composed for illustration — drawn from common patterns, not a real member. It shows the structure of a typical Pattern Brief at the moment a client books and consents to share scores, archetype, central tension, contextual factors and session intention.

Pattern Brief · Booked 2 days ago

A.M. · 38 · Melbourne, AU

Member since: 5 weeks · Check-ins logged: 6 · Active pathway: Burnout Recovery (Foundation, day 12 of 30)

Consented · scores, archetype, AI summary

Stated intention for the session

“I want to stop crashing every Sunday. I’m functional all week and then I lose three or four hours catastrophising about Monday. The pathway has surfaced things but I need someone to actually work with me on the catastrophising pattern.”

Six-dimension scores

Cluster collapse: Foundation (E&H + EmB averaging 40) is dragging down a client who otherwise has high Purpose (71). The gap between Purpose and Foundation is the diagnostic signal — running the engine without the fuel.

Pattern archetype

Primary fit · 78%
Exhausted Achiever

The engine still runs on fumes. Capacity has eroded but performance expectations haven’t. Sunday-night anticipatory dread is a near-textbook expression of the Foundation→Purpose mismatch.

Secondary · 51% · Suppressed StrainTertiary · 34% · Overcapacity Trap

Lever point identified: Energy & Health. Cascade signature: Adrenal Burn (Energy collapse → Emotional dysregulation → Clarity erosion).

Central tension

“You value being the person who delivers reliably, but life is structured around outputs that no longer leave room for the recovery that produced them.”Confidence: high · drawn from journal entries 2026-04-08, 2026-04-15, weekly check-in 2026-04-19

Contextual factors

  • Financial pressure: Moderate (3/5) — sole income; recent mortgage refix.
  • Felt autonomy: Low (2/5) — significant work demands outside personal control.
  • Life transitions: One — partner returned to study six months ago.
  • Support access: Has access but not currently using (4/5).

AI Coach summary (last 14 days)

Recurring themes: anticipatory anxiety, perfectionism around output, identification with reliability as core identity. Has named a fear of “dropping the ball” that the Coach has reflected back across three sessions. Pathway practice adherence: 11/12 days. Has explicitly said the AI Coach is helping surface the pattern but the catastrophising pattern itself feels “older” than the current job and may need someone alongside them.

Suggested first-session focus (practitioner discretion): the client’s own framing — Sunday catastrophising — sits squarely with Emotional Balance and would benefit from clinical work on the underlying schema. The Foundation collapse is the upstream lever; structural rest may need to be addressed alongside the cognitive pattern, not after it.

This is not a diagnosis, treatment recommendation or clinical formulation. It is an orienting brief the client chooses to share.

How referrals work

Six steps, no platform lock-in

  1. Client completes Evaligned assessment. Free, no account required to start. They receive their pattern report whether or not they ever sign up.
  2. Evaligned generates a structured self-reflection report. Six-dimension scores, pattern archetype, central tension, contextual factors. The report is for the client first.
  3. Client is shown support options where relevant. Self-paced pathways, the AI Coach (where appropriate), and the practitioner directory. Tier 3 safety routing surfaces crisis resources before any of these.
  4. Client chooses whether to share a Pattern Brief. Granular consent toggles: scores, archetype, AI summary, check-in themes, journal themes. Default is share nothing — the client opts in, item by item.
  5. Practitioner receives only the consented information. Booking request lands in your nominated inbox with name, email, session type, intention, and the consented summary link.
  6. Booking, payment and the professional relationship remain with you. Evaligned is not in the session, not in the payment loop, and does not touch the clinical relationship.

Evaligned does not own the therapeutic, coaching or practitioner-client relationship. Bookings are requests, not confirmed appointments. You accept, reschedule, or decline on your own terms.

Your economics stay yours

No commission, no per-referral fee, no ranking by paid placement

A referral fee structure compromises clinical neutrality. The directory should surface the right practitioner for the client, not the practitioner who pays the most. So we don’t take any of these:

  • You set your own session types, prices and availability.
  • You manage scheduling through your own systems — there is no calendar layer to learn.
  • You collect payment directly from clients. Evaligned is never in the payment loop.
  • Evaligned takes no commission on what you charge — ever.
  • Evaligned does not charge per referral.
  • Evaligned does not rank practitioners by paid placement. Match score reflects pattern–specialty fit and verification tier.
  • You can edit, pause or remove your profile at any time from the practitioner dashboard.

Sustainability:Evaligned is funded by member subscriptions (Essential AUD $9/mo, Premium AUD $23/mo). The practitioner directory is a member benefit, not a revenue line. If we ever introduce paid features for practitioners (analytics, profile enhancements, scheduling integrations), they will be optional and disclosed transparently — never tied to directory ranking.

Built for different forms of professional support

Where Evaligned fits across modalities

The directory hosts clinical, registered, and complementary practitioners under appropriate professional registration. Honest framing for each cohort:

Psychologists and registered clinicians

Use Evaligned as a pre-session self-reflection and pattern-orientation tool. It does not diagnose, triage, replace clinical judgement or predict treatment response.

Counsellors and psychotherapists

Receive clients who have already reflected on emotional patterns, relational strain, values, support needs and current tension — with granular consent over what they share.

Coaches

Help clients arrive with clearer goals, behavioural patterns, readiness signals and areas for structured growth. ICF / EMCC liability cover accepted at standard membership level.

Somatic and complementary practitioners

Be discoverable by clients seeking nervous-system support, self-regulation, life-transition support and reflective practice — with clear scope boundaries surfaced to clients.

Practitioner verification and status levels

Trust, earned in three stages

Evaligned uses a staged practitioner status model so clients can understand the level of verification, experience and review behind each profile. Status is not purchased. It is earned through evidence, suitability and review.

Listed Practitioner

Stage 1 · entry tier

Basic directory listing for practitioners who meet minimum eligibility and scope requirements.

  • Professional identity confirmed
  • Website, practice profile or LinkedIn reviewed
  • Declared modality and scope of practice
  • Agreement to Evaligned practitioner terms
  • Not presented as diagnosis, therapy or crisis support
  • Location and session format provided

Identity and practice details reviewed. Practitioner has agreed to Evaligned scope and conduct requirements.

Verified Practitioner ✓

Stage 2 · documentary verification

Higher-trust status for practitioners with evidence of professional qualifications, registration, insurance or membership.

  • Documentary verification of qualifications, registration or membership
  • Professional indemnity / public liability insurance evidence
  • Practice website, bio, modality and stated client populations reviewed
  • Adult-client suitability confirmed
  • Safe referral boundaries confirmed
  • Profile reviewed by Evaligned

Professional credentials and practice details reviewed. Practitioner has provided evidence supporting their qualifications, membership, insurance or professional standing.

Evaligned Preferred ✓✓

Stage 3 · curated tier

Highest-trust status for practitioners who have passed deeper suitability review and are appropriate for higher-confidence matching, featured visibility or specialist pathways.

  • Verified Practitioner status achieved first
  • Founder / practitioner review call completed
  • References, testimonials or professional endorsements reviewed
  • Practice approach assessed for alignment with Evaligned values and the client handoff model
  • Suitability for one or more Evaligned pathways or archetypes
  • Clear boundaries around scope, risk, crisis and professional responsibility
  • Optional peer / practitioner advisory panel review
  • Periodic re-review

This practitioner has completed additional suitability review and has been assessed for alignment with Evaligned’s client support model, referral pathways and professional standards.

Preferred status is not paid placement. It cannot be purchased. It is granted through review and may be withdrawn if standards are not maintained. Preferred status indicates additional review, alignment and suitability for Evaligned’s referral model — not clinical superiority or guaranteed client outcomes.

Why join during the early practitioner phase?

The window matters

Evaligned is in its early growth phase. Practitioners who join now help shape the directory, the matching model, and the standards — and inherit the early visibility benefits that come with being there before the directory is crowded.

Early visibility

Verified and Preferred practitioners may be surfaced more prominently as the directory grows.

Category positioning

Practitioners can define modalities, populations served, specialties and support pathways before the directory becomes crowded.

Founder-level review

Early Preferred candidates may receive more direct feedback and onboarding support from the founder.

Influence the model

Practitioners can help shape how Evaligned handles client handoff, referral matching, safety and consent.

No commercial downside

Listing is free, with no commission, no booking lock-in and no requirement to move clients onto Evaligned.

Clear scope boundaries

What Evaligned is — and isn’t

Methodology pages can read as overclaim. The clearer we are about scope, the easier it is to position the product accurately to a referred client.

  • Evaligned is not therapy.
  • Evaligned is not a diagnostic tool.
  • Evaligned is not crisis support.
  • Evaligned does not replace clinical judgement.
  • Evaligned does not tell practitioners how to treat clients.
  • Evaligned does not share private journals unless explicit client consent applies.
  • Practitioners remain independent professionals.
  • Clients remain in control of what they share.

How we describe the framework, accurately: Evaligned maps its six dimensions to established psychological scales and published constructs (Subjective Vitality Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Ruminative Responses Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale v3, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Spiritual Well-Being Scale). The combined report is a structured self-reflection output, not a diagnostic or clinically validated assessment instrument.

Inoculation principle: if a referred client overstates what their Evaligned report “says about them” in your session, you can name the limit cleanly — the report is a self-reflection instrument grounded in established scales, not a diagnostic or predictive tool. The framing belongs to you.

No new practice-management system to learn

Your practitioner dashboard at a glance

Once verified, your dashboard sits at /practitioner/dashboard. Four tabs, no calendar layer, no scheduling integration — your booking system stays where it already is.

Mockup composed for illustration. Real layout matches; example data is composed. Your existing booking, payment and clinical systems remain unchanged.

Common practitioner concerns

Honest answers to the questions practitioners actually ask

Will Evaligned compete with my work?

No. Evaligned is designed to surface reflection, support readiness and encourage appropriate human support when needed. The five-tier session frequency cap on the AI Coach actively discourages members from using it as a substitute for a real therapeutic or coaching relationship.

Am I responsible for the AI Coach?

No. Evaligned operates under its own user terms, disclaimers and safety boundaries. Members accept these directly when creating an account. The AI Coach’s outputs are not provided on your behalf, do not constitute clinical advice, and your professional registration is not extended to cover the product. Practitioners listed in the directory are independent professionals; Evaligned is not a clinical service provider.

Will private client journals be shared with me?

No. Sharing is optional, granular, revocable and time-limited. Practitioners only receive what the client chooses to share. Default is share nothing. Raw journal entries, AI Coach transcripts and daily check-in slider history remain in the client’s account regardless of consent toggles.

Do I have to use Evaligned booking or payment?

No. Booking, payment, scheduling and the professional relationship stay with the practitioner. Evaligned is not in the payment loop. Bookings are requests, not confirmed appointments — you accept, reschedule or decline on your own terms.

What does it cost?

Nothing to list. There is no monthly fee, no commission and no per-referral cut. Evaligned is funded by member subscriptions; the practitioner directory is a member benefit, not a revenue line.

Can I pay to become Preferred?

No. Preferred status is not paid placement. It is based on review, suitability and alignment with Evaligned’s standards. It can be withdrawn if standards are not maintained.

Practitioner FAQ — full

The full set of questions practitioners ask

Clinical fit and scope

Where does Evaligned fit alongside therapy or coaching?

Adjunctively. Evaligned is designed to surface and structure the between-sessions self-awareness work that often eats the first three sessions of a clinical or coaching relationship. The product takes care of pattern identification, score-tracking, and psychoeducation; the practitioner-client relationship handles the clinical and relational work that an AI tool shouldn’t and can’t do.

What is and isn’t Evaligned designed for?

Designed for:sub-clinical to mild distress, life-stage transitions, values clarification, building daily/weekly self-reflection practice, identifying patterns the member hasn’t named yet, and consolidating insights between professional sessions.

Not designed for: active suicidal ideation, acute psychotic episodes, current eating disorder treatment, family violence requiring safety planning, severe trauma without a therapist, or any presentation requiring clinical risk management. The safety detection layer routes members in these states to professional support immediately.

When should I refer my client to Evaligned vs to a different practitioner?

Evaligned is most valuable when a client knows something is off but can’t name the pattern, when they need help maintaining momentum between your sessions, or when they’re curious about a structured framework but not ready for additional clinical engagement. It’s less appropriate as a first-line response to acute distress — refer to a clinician in those cases.

Liability and professional risk

Do I need to disclose Evaligned to my professional indemnity insurer?

Standard practice is to disclose any platform through which you receive client referrals. Most professional indemnity policies cover work obtained via referral platforms without specific endorsement. If your policy excludes digital intermediaries, contact your insurer. We can provide a brief description of the referral mechanism for your records on request.

Can my client’s Evaligned data be subpoenaed?

Evaligned holds member data subject to Australian law. Properly issued legal process can compel disclosure, as it can for any digital service. Members are informed of this in the Privacy statement they accept. Practitioner-side: the data your client shares with you via the consent flow becomes part of your practice record and is governed by your professional record-keeping obligations, not Evaligned’s.

What if a client lodges a complaint about me?

Clinical complaints about a registered practitioner are forwarded to your registration body’s complaint mechanism (AHPRA, PACFA, ACA, ICF, BACP, BPS, etc.) — Evaligned does not adjudicate clinical complaints. We hold and forward the complaint, notify you, and remove your directory listing only if your registration body issues a finding that warrants it. We will never suspend or remove a listing on a single unsubstantiated complaint.

What insurance and registration do I need for Verified status?

AU:minimum AUD $2M aggregate professional indemnity insurance. APS, AAPi, ACPA, PACFA, ACA, AHA, and ANTA group cover all qualify at standard membership level.

UK: coverage equivalent to BACP / BPS minimum (typically £3M aggregate). US / CA: the level your registration body or state licensing board requires for active practice. NZ:coverage equivalent to NZAC standard (typically NZD $2M).

Coaches under ICF / EMCC:coaching liability or general professional indemnity cover is acceptable; we don’t require clinical-grade insurance for coaches. Current certificate of currency required at verification and at each annual renewal.

I’m UK / NZ / US / CA-based — am I welcome?

Yes. Australia is the primary market, but verified UK, NZ, US, and CA practitioners are part of the directory wherever local registration body and insurance equivalents are met. Public profile session pricing displays in your home currency (AUD, USD, GBP, NZD, CAD, EUR, SGD, INR). Member volume in non-AU geographies is currently lower than AU — honest framing.

Data sharing and consent

What does my client share with me when they refer themselves?

By default, the booking request includes their name, email, chosen session type, and a short intention statement. Anything beyond that is optional and explicit. The member chooses, item by item, whether to share scores, archetype, AI summary, check-in themes, or journal themes. They can also book without sharing any Evaligned-side data at all.

Can my client revoke consent? What happens to data I’ve already seen?

Yes — at any time via their account page. Once revoked, Evaligned removes your read-access to the consented summary. Data you’ve already viewed and recorded in your own practice notes is governed by your professional record-keeping obligations and is yours to manage. Consent also auto-expires 90 days from grant unless extended by session activity.

AI safety and escalation

How does Evaligned handle a client who discloses suicidal ideation?

Immediate trigger phrases (suicide, self-harm, plan to die) bypass the score accumulator and route directly to Tier 3 — coaching pauses, country-specific crisis lines surface (Lifeline 13 11 14 AU, 988 US, Samaritans 116 123 UK, findahelpline.com worldwide), and the response is grounded, brief, and oriented toward safety. The Coach explicitly recommends professional support and, where appropriate, encourages the member to contact their existing practitioner.

Will Evaligned alert me if my referred client shows concerning patterns?

Not currently — and this is a deliberate design decision pending stronger consent infrastructure. Routing concerning signals from a digital tool to a practitioner without case-by-case affirmative consent risks both over-disclosure and under-disclosure. We are scoping an opt-in “safety copy” flow for members who want their nominated practitioner contacted in defined circumstances.

Practical operations

How do clients actually book me? What does the request look like?

Clients select a session type from your profile (you define types, prices, durations, formats), write a short intention statement, and submit. You receive an email at your nominated booking address with their name, email, session type, intention, referral source, and — if consented — a link to the consented summary. From there, you handle scheduling and payment directly.

How much admin time does this add?

Initial profile setup: 30–45 minutes. Verification documentation upload: 15 minutes. Ongoing: time to respond to booking requests as they arrive (each takes a minute or two), and quarterly review of your profile content. There is no calendar integration or scheduling layer.

Can I publicly say I’m an Evaligned practitioner in my marketing?

Yes — and we encourage it for Verified and Preferred practitioners. You may use the “Verified Practitioner” or “Preferred Practitioner” language in your bio, on your website, and in collateral, with a link back to your Evaligned profile. Please do not imply Evaligned endorses your clinical practice or refer to yourself as an “Evaligned therapist/counsellor/coach”.

Does Evaligned work with people under 18?

No. Account creation requires age 18+. The framework, language, and safety protocols are all designed for adult populations.

After you apply

What happens next?

The application form below takes about a minute. Here’s what follows.

  1. Submit your interest — about one minute.
  2. Receive the practitioner signup or verification link from us within two business days.
  3. Complete your practitioner profile — bio, modalities, session types, pricing, photo.
  4. Provide credential, membership or insurance details where relevant.
  5. Evaligned reviews your profile against the Verified checklist.
  6. Approved profiles go live in the directory.
  7. Optional Preferred review may follow after the founder review call.

Timing: Standard verification is usually targeted within five business days once required information is provided. Preferred review takes longer because it involves deeper review (founder call + reference checks + alignment review).

Use Evaligned with existing clients

Sample referral resources

If you’d like to refer one of your clients into Evaligned — for the assessment, a self-paced pathway, or to encourage them to use the directory to find someone with different specialties — here are three short formats. Adapt the language to match your voice and your client’s context.

Hi [Client name],

Following our session today, I wanted to share a tool I think could
support the work we're doing.

Evaligned is a six-dimension self-assessment that maps how the different
areas of your life are interacting — energy and health, emotional balance,
mental clarity, relationships, purpose, and inner meaning. The output
identifies which area is most likely the upstream cause of what you're
experiencing now.

It's not a substitute for our sessions, and it isn't therapy. It's a
structured way to surface patterns between sessions that we can then work
with together. The assessment is free and takes about ten minutes:
https://www.evaligned.com/assessment

If you find the report useful, the optional pathways (7, 30, or 90-day
self-paced programmes) can be a way to maintain momentum on the work we
discuss.

Warmly,
[Your name]

Suggested website wording: “I work with clients who use Evaligned’s structured self-reflection assessment as part of our work together. The free assessment lives at evaligned.com.”

Between-session use: clients can use Evaligned’s self-paced pathways (7 / 30 / 90-day) and AI Coach to maintain momentum on the work you’re doing together.

Pre-first-session use: sending a new client the assessment ahead of intake gives both of you a structured starting point grounded in established psychology research.
