This event explores what it means to be AI ready in clinical practice, from ethical frameworks to practical applications, we’ll cover the different types of AI, how AI might support or challenge therapeutic work and whether AI could ever truly provide counselling as we see it. With expert input, this event will give interested attendees and BACP members a space to examine both the potential and the risks of AI in therapy and discuss how we can and likely should engage with this rapidly evolving technology responsibly.

18:00pm evening session. An invigilated home-based assessment providing an entry route for members wishing to join the BACP Register. The computer-based, multiple-choice assessment uses case studies of practice situations to assess the skills, knowledge and abilities required to be a counsellor or psychotherapist. It takes about two hours to complete the assessment.

The idea of integrating coaching into counselling practice is becoming increasingly popular. Where counselling is traditionally seen as therapeutic, working towards resolving emotional conflict, coaching focuses on behavioural change - with an emphasis on forward development. An approach which enables a practitioner to do both with our clients equips us with a wider range of tools, offering a more holistic way of working.
