VERSION FOR PESI - The Intersection of AI and Psychotherapy
Copyright :
Many therapists are asking the same questions about Artificial Intelligence (AI). You might have found yourself asking them too.
“Is AI going to replace me?”
“Am I failing my clients by not using it?”
“If I start using it..., how do I do so in a safe and ethical way?”
The truth? Nothing can replace the depth, safety, and attunement of human-to-human therapeutic connection.
Your presence, intuition and relational skills remain irreplaceable. Full stop.
But AI can reduce your workload, free up your energy, support your clients between sessions, and enhance the work you’re already doing...if you know how to use it safely, competently, and ethically.
That’s why UKCP put together this event. So dedicated clinicians like you can gain the knowledge, confidence and ethical grounding you need from leading AI and ethics experts.
You’ll discover:
- Why AI will never replace therapists – and what makes the human relationship fundamentally unique
- How AI can enhance your work without compromising your values or your professional identity
- How to reduce administrative load so you can stay more present and regulated with clients
- Where AI fits into ethical practice, including privacy, consent and scope of competence
- How to use AI tools safely and pragmatically, with guidance from leading UK experts
- And much more
