A conversational pre-intake before the first therapy session

Before session one, clients answer adaptive questions in their own words. The therapist reviews the source-grounded summary beside the conversation. It complements forms and the therapist-led intake; it does not replace either.

The client’s own words · No diagnosis, advice or scoring · The therapist decides where the session begins

A clearer beginning for both sides of the room

The client does not need a perfect answer to “What brings you here?” Jungche adds a conversational route alongside intake forms, while leaving the actual intake, interpretation and clinical decisions to the therapist.

For the client

Arrive with the important words already found

The client responds to one gentle question at a time, in their own time. They can describe what brought them to therapy, what they hope will change and the context they want their therapist to know. They can stop whenever they choose.

For the therapist

Know what the client wants before they walk in

Before the first session, you can review an extractive summary and the conversation behind it. You begin with the client’s stated goal and context already visible, then decide what deserves attention together.

Synthetic example — not client data

From a client message to a therapist-reviewed summary

This fictional example shows how Jungche keeps the client’s message inspectable beside the generated summary.

Synthetic client message

“I keep agreeing to extra work and then feel angry with myself. I want to understand why saying no feels so risky.”

Synthetic AI summary

Stated goal: understand why declining extra work feels risky. Desired change: respond to requests without automatically agreeing. Context: the client reports frustration after taking on more work.

Therapist review of the synthetic example

The therapist reads the client’s original message beside the summary, checks whether meaning was preserved and decides what to ask in the actual intake.

Synthetic illustration only. Jungche does not diagnose, assess risk, recommend treatment or replace the therapist-led intake.

A conversation complements the intake form

Forms and conversations do different jobs. Jungche adds a conversational route; the therapist still conducts and verifies the clinical intake.

How pre-session therapy intake works

1

Invite the client

Enable Jungche intake for the client. You can add an optional private note to help Jungche focus its questions; that note is not shown to the client.

2

Jungche asks, reflects and follows up

The client is clearly told they are speaking with an AI assistant. Jungche asks adaptive, Socratic questions, reflects what was shared and lets the client finish when they are ready.

3

Review their words before the session

When the conversation is complete, you receive a notification and can review the extractive summary plus the full conversation. If it remains incomplete, the conversation so far remains visible.

What the therapist receives

The intake surface keeps the client’s account inspectable. The summary is paired with the conversation it came from, rather than presented as an unexplained AI conclusion.

Why they are seeking therapy now

A concise statement of the goal the client described, using the meaning and language they shared.

What they want to be different

The specific change or outcome the client hopes to work toward, without turning it into a treatment recommendation.

The context they chose to share

Relevant background from the conversation, organised for review without clinical interpretation.

The complete conversation

The therapist can read the client’s messages and Jungche’s questions, including the partial conversation when intake has not yet been completed.

The summary is generated only from the client’s messages, with the full conversation available for checking. It is pre-session context—not a diagnosis, assessment, treatment plan or final clinical intake.

What Jungche supports

Reflection before the first meeting

Jungche helps the client formulate what matters and gives the treating therapist inspectable context. The therapist can use it to begin with a more informed question, while remaining free to set it aside or explore something else.

The clinical boundary

Jungche does not perform therapy or triage

It does not diagnose, interpret the client, recommend treatment, score clinical risk, decide suitability or replace the therapist-led intake. No one monitors the conversation as it happens, and it makes no triage or clinical-risk judgment. If a message mentions self-harm or suicidal thoughts, Jungche automatically shows crisis-support contact details in a fixed, pre-written message — not a person responding, and no alert reaches the therapist in real time.

Transparency and control

The client knows who they are talking to and who will read it

The intake visibly states that Jungche is an AI assistant, not a person, and that the conversation is saved for the practitioner. Access is role-based and limited to the treating therapist. Colleagues and practice managers cannot open a client's intake conversation. Withdrawing consent blocks further intake processing.
