    Article: Artificial intelligence and psychotherapy
    Jun 4 2024
    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. He sought views from across the profession and looked at the implications of this rapidly emerging technology.

    28: Diving into the world of dreams
    Apr 26 2024
    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.’

    What should therapists know about eating disorders?
    Feb 23 2024
    When someone is struggling with disordered eating, it affects both the individual and their family.
    In this episode, UKCP psychotherapist and eating disorder specialist Gladys Ellis talks with Martha Williams, the senior clinical advice coordinator for Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity.
    Gladys and Martha discuss Beat's efforts to break down stereotypes of eating disorders in society and the media. They also highlight the importance of working in multi-disciplinary teams to support the physical and psychological wellbeing of individuals with an eating disorder.
    According to Gladys, ‘weight is not a prerequisite to get support,’ especially for young people.
