So glad we were able to support this workshop at NETAC. I think it’s going to be fascinating

AI can produce rich and evocative images and text in a matter of moments. These can help us illustrate our inner landscapes, and tell the stories of our lives creatively. They often surprise, with unexpected results able to stimulate new insights and open up the view to new options. This talk is a practical workshop on using AI with clients, exploring which tools to use, how to prompt the AI to get the best results for therapy, and about the ethical implications of doing it. It’s not about replacing therapists with AI, and you don’t need to be super techie or have AI experience to join in.

This and many more excellent workshops in our programme: https://netaconf.wordpress.com/programme-3/

Full day face-to-face conference in Bradford. Keynote, choice of morning and afternoon workshops, plenary, special lunchtime activities, lunch and refreshments break plus a great networking and connecting opportunity! Only £65 (+booking fee).

A warm, inclusive welcome to all therapy practitioners, counsellors, psychologists and therapists of any persuasion.

Now feels like a good time to say thank you to all those people who support those who are in training and/or working towards professional exams. I was originally thinking about within TATO but then decided to expand this to all those trainers, tutors, supervisors, therapists, mentors, markers, examiners (and so many more). Training new therapists and practitioners wouldn't exist without you.
