PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE GUIDE
Therapists & Counsellors
Whether you're using AI to support administration, draft session notes or streamline practice management, the therapeutic relationship remains your professional responsibility.
The question isn't simply whether AI can save time. It's whether it can be introduced in a way that protects confidentiality, respects professional ethics and maintains client trust.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
Therapy is built on trust.
Clients disclose some of the most sensitive personal information they will ever share, That means introducing AI into therapeutic practice isn't simply a technology decision. It's a professional, ethical and legal one. Most practitioners don't realise how quickly AI has become part of everyday practice:
Online booking systems
AI meeting transcription
Session note assistants
Practice management software
AI writing and administrative tools
Many of these capabilities arrive through software updates or everyday practice management platforms, rather than deliberate AI adoption—which means AI can become part of client care before it's been properly considered.
This guide has been written specifically for that gap.
