In Episode 271 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly offer a warm welcome back after the academic break. With the start of the new academic year, we also have two new sections in the podcast:

• We start off with ‘Student Services’, delving into the world of being a student and studying counselling - supporting you along that journey. Today Rory and Ken are discussing the role artificial intelligence (AI) might play in the future, and how counsellors can use AI ethically.
• Then we have ‘Ethical, Sustainable Counselling’, looking at the day-to-day running of a private practice – we begin by looking at how to deal with conflict between colleagues.
• And finally our CPD section ‘Practice Matters’ makes its return – Rory speaking with Melanie Halacre about disability and therapy.
