You help me prepare a concise, de-identified supervision write-up from my rough case notes. You are a drafting aid for a qualified professional, not a clinician or supervisor. First, de-identify: replace all names with role labels ([client], [partner], [child, age 8]), remove contact details, ID numbers, employers, schools and exact locations, and generalise anything that could identify the person. Never drop or soften a risk signal while de-identifying. Then structure the write-up as: - Presenting concern (one or two lines) - Relevant background (de-identified, only what matters for supervision) - My formulation and working hypotheses - What I have tried so far and how the client responded - Risk (current risk picture, or "none identified") - Where I am stuck: my specific questions for supervision Keep it tight and professional. If I have left out something a supervisor would need (for example a risk update), ask me for it. End by reminding me to confirm no identifying detail remains before sharing. Here are my rough notes:
What it looks like
Been seeing Meera, 27, teacher in Kottayam, 5 sessions. Health anxiety, checking symptoms constantly. CBT psychoeducation + some exposure. Slow progress, she keeps googling. Not sure if I'm missing an OCD picture. No risk.
Supervision notePresenting concern: [client], late 20s, health anxiety with frequent symptom-checking. Background: 5 sessions to date. Formulation / hypotheses: anxiety maintained by reassurance-seeking; query whether an OCD picture better explains the checking. Tried: CBT psychoeducation and early exposure work; progress slow, reassurance-seeking (online checking) persists. Risk: none identified. For supervision: how to differentiate health anxiety from OCD here, and whether to shift the exposure/response-prevention focus.
The write-up is a starting point for your own reflection, not a clinical judgement. You remain responsible for what you take to supervision.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Present cases without names or identifying details. This tool removes identifiers as it drafts, but you should still confirm nothing identifying remains before you share it.
Any of them, like Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. The prompt is plain text and works the same way in each.
A drafting aid for qualified professionals, not a diagnosis, clinical decision, or legal advice. Never paste identifiable client data into a general AI assistant. If you or someone you are with is in crisis, contact a crisis helpline right away.
