CounselGist is an offline reference and revision app for counselling and psychotherapy. It contains a glossary of more than 500 entries covering approaches, theorists, techniques, ethics, supervision and research, with quizzes and guided tours built around them.

We built CounselGist during our own counselling training. We kept needing to check the meaning and context of terms without opening a textbook, so we made a small glossary app for ourselves. A year later it holds more than 500 entries and is available on Google Play.CounselGist works fully offline. There is no account to create, and no personal data leaves your phone. The app is free, and a single one-time purchase unlocks the full quiz library, every tour and the extended entries. If something is missing or unclear, please tell us.You can read the CounselGist privacy policy here

Thank you to everyone who has contributed towards making CounselGist as accurate as possible. We've been working on the app since 2024 and have done our best to vet every entry in the app to ensure accuracy and impartiality, but some mistakes probably still exist! If you'd spot one or would just like to get in touch we'd love to hear from you.
