Best AI for Mental Health & Psychology
Psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and mental health institutions spend up to forty per cent of their working time on record-keeping. AI takes over voice-driven SOAP reporting and intake reports, supports patients between sessions and helps search clinical guidelines, so the practitioner has more time for the therapeutic relationship.

Watch out in this field
Mental health records contain special category personal data (health data, GDPR). Only use systems with 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of therapy sessions must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. AI-supported diagnostics and treatment decisions fall under the EU AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight and an audit trail. A BIG-registered professional remains ultimately responsible for the content of the record.

Frequently asked questions
Related professions
What is the best AI for mental health & psychology?
That depends on your requirements. Field-specific solutions such as Sessieverslag are built for mental health & psychology; general assistants such as Claude are more widely applicable and cheaper to get started with. At the top of this page you will find our picks.
What is the difference between a 'field-specific tool' and a 'general assistant'?
A general assistant (such as ChatGPT or Claude) is a clever all-rounder you chat with yourself. A professional tool is a ready-made product for mental health & psychology, often built on top of such an assistant, with its own field knowledge, integrations and GDPR arrangements. The 'Quality' column shows which model a tool runs on.
May I use confidential data?
Mental health records contain special category personal data (health data, GDPR). Only use systems with 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of therapy sessions must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. AI-supported diagnostics and treatment decisions fall under the EU AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight and an audit trail. A BIG-registered professional remains ultimately responsible for the content of the record.
What does the GDPR profile mean?
Our summary of what the provider publishes about data protection: EU hosting, no training on your data, certifications and provenance. 'Strong' = several safeguards published; 'Unknown' = the provider shares little, so ask them. It is a tool, not legal advice.
