Why this summit exists
Why now
More than one in three UK adults say they've used an AI chatbot to support their mental health or wellbeing, according to polling by Mental Health UK published in November 2025. Our clients are already in conversation with AI tools between sessions, often without telling us. The questions this raises about safeguarding, ethics, bias and therapeutic work itself won't wait. This summit is our answer: a day of grounded, clinician-led conversation about what AI is doing in our practice now, and what it means for the profession to face this honestly.
