Recorded just after the UK general election in early July 2024, in this episode Meg Moss, Head of Policy & Public Affairs at the NCPS, and Kelly Budd, Chief Professional Standards Officer at CPCAB, discuss a joint campaign, 'Therapeutic Relationships: the Human Connection'.

How concerned should we be about the increasing use of AI and technology in both counselling/psychotherapy training and delivery? Is it possible to maintain standards and keep the public safe, as 'cheaper, faster, simpler', non-human methods proliferate? 

And how can we all work together to ensure the integrity of the profession is maintained?
