Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital support tools
Some clients choose to use AI-based apps or chat tools that offer emotional support or therapy-like conversations. These are separate from, and not part of, the counselling I provide.
AI tools do not fully know you as a person over time, do not hold a duty of care, and cannot reliably recognise risk or crisis. They may sound confident even when they are inaccurate. Anything you share with them may be stored or used in ways that fall outside our confidentiality and my control.
I retain full professional responsibility for the care I provide. My decisions are made through professional judgement and ethical training.
If you use AI tools for personal support, I warmly encourage you to bring this into our work, so we can reflect together on how I may be able to support you with this.
This is an invitation and never a judgement.
