"I recently completed this Certificate course with Counselling Tutor and it was an excellent experienceโ€”one that will positively impact my practice. The material was of great quality, well structured, and digestible, while the live sessions were both engaging and interactive. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to enhance their understanding or skills in this area." โ€“ Peter Ryan, London

COUNSELLING STUDENTS: The AI conversation nobody's having clearly enough
๐Ÿ‘‰ Essential guidance: https://bit.ly/ai-and-plagiarism-in-counselling-training

A student recently had their assignment rejected because tutors believed AI had been used. This is happening more frequently, and the stakes are serious: the Joint Council for Qualifications now classifies undeclared AI use as malpractice.

But here's where it gets complicated: AI detection software isn't 100% reliable. Unlike traditional plagiarism checkers that can identify copied blog posts, there's no definitive way to prove AI-generated content.

So where's the line?

What you CAN use AI for:
โœ… Generating initial ideas for structure
โœ… Asking where a paragraph you wrote might fit best
โœ… Brainstorming like you would with a fellow student
โœ… Creating an outline (not the content itself)

What you CANNOT use AI for:
โŒ Writing about your supervision experiences
โŒ Reflecting on your client work
โŒ Describing your personal development journey
โŒ Explaining how theory impacted your practice

Counselling training is unlike any other qualification. You're being assessed on YOUR voice, YOUR reflection, YOUR lived experience with clients. AI cannot replicate how you felt in a difficult session, what your supervisor said, how that changed your approach.

If you do use AI as a brainstorming tool, you must declare it: "Used ChatGPT on [date] to generate initial ideas, edited and expanded with my own reflections." Keep the chat logs and URLs.

The question isn't just about getting caught. It's about the authenticity that makes you effective as a therapist.

โ€œThis is the reason I tell my story. Not because itโ€™s about me and whatโ€™s happened, but because itโ€™s happening elsewhere.โ€

Our Ambassador Charlie Webster bravely shares her story of childhood domestic abuse with the Metro, to raise awareness and to protect others who are still living it.

Thank you, Charlie, for your courage and bravery in using your voice to make a difference.

โ€œWhen I had no hope left, others held it for me.โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ

Hannahโ€™s story is honest, raw and full of courage.
From facing suicidal thoughts at a young age, to being sectioned during her nursing career, to slowly rebuilding her life through peer support and ther**eutic care, she shows how recovery isnโ€™t quick or simple, but absolutely possible.

Today, Hannah works as a palliative care nurse and as the Lead Nurse for Lived Experience at the Royal College of Nursing. Sheโ€™s using her own journey to help others feel seen, understood and less alone.

If youโ€™re struggling or supporting someone who is, HOPELINE247 is here for you 24/7: call 0800 068 4141, text 88247 or email pat@papyrus-uk.org.

You deserve hope, and you deserve support.
