Article: Artificial intelligence and psychotherapy

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 • Duration 20:00

UKCP is creating a new strategy to define and steer our work for the next three years. We want to create a strategy that captures a collective vision for UKCP and are currently engaging with members on key areas of UKCP’s work as well as topical issues likely to impact the profession.

We asked writer, broadcaster and speaker, David Baker, who has written and spoken about artificial intelligence (AI) and the future of work, to explore the relationship between psychotherapy and AI.

28: Diving into the world of dreams

Episode 28

Friday, April 26, 2024 • Duration 36:49

How can you build a psychotherapeutic career working with dreams?
In this episode, Emily Bridges, our head of content and engagement, talks to UKCP psychotherapist Dave Billington.
When it came to pursuing a career in psychotherapy, Dave explored his long-standing interest in dreams, pursuing training that allowed him to explore this psychotherapeutic way of working.
His experience, interest and career led Dave into private practice and to take on the role of director of the DRI Centre for Dream Studies, which supports research into the uses and applications of psychospiritual dreamwork for holistic well-being.
He now also runs ‘The Dream Boat’ podcast series, alongside his colleague Laura Payne. It brings together experts and the public to delve into the world of dreams.
‘There’s something that comes through from just being with the imagery that’s there, and feeling the feelings the dream is bringing, that connects us to our deepest unconscious.’

How can organisations work more therapeutically?
In this episode Helen Willingham, our head of content and engagement, talks to UKCP psychotherapist Hendrix Hammond. Motivated by his passion to work with people led Hendrix to pursue a career in psychotherapy.

Helen speaks to Hendrix to find out about his work supporting organisations to create a more culturally informed environment.
‘I started running these workshops on anti-racist approaches in work contexts, thinking about the challenges of having a diverse workforce, what gets in the way of certain conversations and just thinking about feelings and anxieties that people hold in relationship to talking about the subject matter.’

19: The evolution of a psychotherapeutic career

Episode 19

Friday, April 21, 2023 • Duration 30:29

In this episode, Helen Willingham, head of content and engagement, talks to UKCP member Melinda Powell.
Melinda reflects on what drew her to the profession and dream work, and what led her to transition into the non-clinical aspect of psychotherapeutic work.
‘If you’re making that change from clinical to non-clinical, make haste slowly. There’s no rush, take your time. What I did do is phase out over time, working with fewer and fewer clients and less involved directly with the clinical aspect of supervision. So, it was again a devolution in that sense, a process over time.’
