The Alchely blog
We write about the part of the profession that does not fit in a textbook: how to write a clinical note that still works in six months, what the GDPR actually asks of a one-person practice, and what changes when therapy happens through a screen.
AI is already in the consulting room: what the APA says about how it should be used
The APA puts artificial intelligence among its nine trends for 2026, in two opposite versions: the one that supports the clinician and the one that replaces them. What it backs, what it warns about, and what the AI Act still requires after July's postponement.
Therapeutic alliance in online therapy: the evidence says it holds
Meta-analyses find no difference in alliance between video and in-person work. What does suffer is continuity — and that is where the effort is worth spending.
How to do online therapy: a complete guide for therapists
The setting, adapted consent, GDPR, a crisis plan and continuity between sessions. The foundations that separate a solid online practice from an improvised one, with the references that apply in Spain.
What we are going to write about
This is not a closed editorial calendar. It is what therapists using Alchely ask us, ordered by how often they ask.
Clinical notes
SOAP, DAP and BIRP properly compared: what each one records, what you lose by choosing wrong, and how to write for the you of six months from now.
Consent and GDPR
What an informed consent form has to say, which legal basis covers health data, and how long a clinical record is kept.
Online therapy
Holding the frame at a distance, what changes in the therapeutic alliance, and what to do when the connection drops mid-session.
AI in the consulting room
What a model can and cannot do with clinical material, and why consent for that belongs to the patient rather than the therapist.
The invisible work
Billing, unpaid sessions, scheduling and reminders: the hours nobody invoices, and how to get them back.
We write it, and we build it together
Alchely is in open beta and we are looking for therapists who will actually use it. Come in now as an early adopter and the first year is free — and what you ask for goes into the product.
No card. No countdown.
