S5E5: Practical AI for Therapists: Green, Amber and Red Uses
How can therapists make practical use of AI without handing over sensitive information, clinical judgement or half the contents of their inbox?
In this solo episode, Dr Natalie Stott explores how AI has moved beyond simple chatbot prompts. Today’s tools can listen, create, research and act on your behalf. That brings useful opportunities for clinical work and private practice. It also introduces risks that cannot be solved by removing a client’s name and hoping for the best.
Natalie introduces a green, amber and red framework for assessing AI use. She also explains the differences between consumer chatbots, clinical scribes, agents and AI builders.
Practical examples include creating accessible therapy worksheets, rehearsing psychoeducation through voice mode, preparing for appraisal, auditing a private-practice website and using AI as a research or marketing assistant. The episode also considers AI scribes, agent permissions and why human review remains essential.
