​

The relationship we build together, the decisions I make as your counsellor, and the responsibility I hold for my professional practice are never delegated to AI.

​

Like many professionals, I may use AI to support some administrative or creative tasks behind the scenes. Whenever I do, I remain responsible for checking accuracy, protecting confidentiality and ensuring that my work continues to meet the ethical standards of my profession.

​

How I may use AI

Where appropriate, I may use AI to support aspects of my professional work outside of the therapy room. This may include:

• organising ideas and supporting research

• drafting website content or business documents

• improving the clarity and accessibility of written information

• supporting administrative tasks such as planning or workflow.

AI supports my work; it does not replace my professional knowledge, experience or judgement.

​​

How I don't use AI

I do not use AI to:

• provide counselling or therapy

• make clinical decisions

• replace my professional judgement

• write or analyse therapy notes

• replace clinical supervision

• process identifiable client information

• make decisions about your care.

 

Any clinical decisions are made by me, drawing on professional training, ethical practice, supervision and our therapeutic relationship.

​​

If you choose to use AI

You might choose to use AI yourself between sessions, perhaps to journal, organise your thoughts or reflect on something we've discussed.

​

You're always welcome to bring this into therapy if it feels helpful.

​

Rather than assuming AI is either helpful or harmful, we'll stay curious together about the part it has played, what it offered, where it may have been useful, and where it may have fallen short. Any exploration of AI within therapy remains guided by your needs, your wellbeing and your therapeutic goals.

​

Confidentiality

Protecting your confidentiality remains central to my work. I do not enter identifiable client information into AI systems. 

​

Where I use AI professionally, it is never as a substitute for my ethical responsibilities, professional judgement or the relationship we build together.

​

My work as a counsellor, clinical supervisor and training provider continually informs my thinking. The learning I share comes from patterns recognised across years of professional practice, never from information that could identify an individual.

​

Transparency

If my use of AI changes in any significant way, this page will be updated to reflect those changes.

If you ever have questions about how AI is, or isn't, used within my practice, please feel free to ask. I believe understanding how I work is part of helping you make an informed decision about whether I'm the right counsellor for you.
