AI in the therapy room: Navigating the future of private practice
In today’s episode, host Lisa O’Rorke and her guest Sarah D. Rees discuss the pros and cons of AI therapy, and where private practice owners can make use of AI tools to maximise their time.
From cutting down administrative burnout with AI scribes, to navigating the ethical and psychological implications of AI companions, Lisa and Sarah explore what the AI boom means for the future of mental health care and how practitioners can stand out in an increasingly automated world.
Sarah is a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, running her own private practice in Cheshire. She’s also a published author and podcast host, who offers coaching, courses and community on the platform, Therapists Corner.
Boundaries: Helping Us To Help Patients
Welcome back to The Healthy Practice with your brand new host; Lisa O'Rorke.
For our first episode of the season, we are sitting down with Dr. Marianne Trent, a clinical psychologist, author and host of the Psychology Actually podcast. We tackle a big question: where is the line between being approachable and oversharing with our clients?
Dr Trent shares how she navigates self-disclosure and explains how to bring your authentic self into a session without letting things get leaky or uncontained. We also dive into handling therapy ruptures gracefully, spotting the early warning signs of clinical burnout and why it is completely okay to be friendly without being your clients friend.
