# A counselling-friendly journal that doesn't make you a data custodian.

_Recommend it, hand over the file, walk away. The work is the client's, and so is the writing._

Counsellors often want to suggest a journaling practice without recommending an app that will harvest the writing.

The Sealed Journal is the version of "keep a journal" that you can recommend without caveat.

It is not therapy software. It is a notebook with a lock.

## Questions

### Can I use it for supervision preparation?

Yes. It suits the reflective thinking you do before supervision, kept private and off any shared drive.

### Does it produce records I might have to disclose?

The file lives on your machine and is encrypted. What you keep, and for how long, is entirely under your control.

### Can I recommend it to clients between sessions?

Many counsellors do, precisely because nothing is shared back to them by default.

## Price

The Sealed Journal is a one-time purchase of $24 (introductory price, rising to $29). No subscription, no account, lifetime updates, 30-day refund. Buy at https://sealedjournal.com/#pricing
