12 ready-made prompts
Prompts for therapists and counselors that respect confidentiality: scheduling and practice admin, psychoeducation handouts, informative content for social media, study and planning groups. None of them uses client information. Listening, assessment and clinical judgement are always yours.
To standardize admin communication.

To review how you present your terms.

First contact by email or message.

As supporting material, after your review.
Create a one-page psychoeducation handout on [topic, e.g. what anxiety is], in plain language, for adults. Structure: what it is, how it tends to show up day to day, what can help and when to seek professional support. No diagnosis, no promises, warm tone. I'll adapt it to my approach.
As a template for between-session work.

For your website or when people ask.
Explain [therapeutic approach] to a non-specialist in up to 8 lines: what therapy is like, what happens in sessions and who it tends to suit. No jargon and no promised outcomes.
For Instagram.
Create a 6-slide carousel about [mental health topic], informative, warm in tone, not sensationalist, not encouraging self-diagnosis and not promising outcomes, in line with your professional body's guidance on advertising. Last slide inviting people to seek professional support.
Content for people who've never had therapy.

For groups, workshops or talks.
Plan a [length] session on [topic] for [audience], with a goal, an opening check-in, one activity, a reflection moment and a close. Note what helps keep the space safe. I'll adapt it to my approach.
Talks on mental health at work.
Build the outline of a 40-minute talk on [topic, e.g. mental health at work] for a company's staff, with an opening, 3 sections, a short activity and where to find support. Accessible language.
Yes, for work around the clinical practice: scheduling and admin, informative writing, generic psychoeducation materials, study and group planning. What you shouldn't do is enter session content, names or any client information, because of confidentiality and privacy rules such as HIPAA in the US or UK GDPR. Listening, assessment and the therapeutic process stay with you.
Not with real client information in public tools. Clinical records contain highly sensitive information protected by confidentiality. If you want AI to improve the structure of your documents, work with blank templates or fictional examples, write the clinical content yourself, and follow your professional body's guidance.
No. AI tools can offer information and generic support, but they don't replace the therapeutic relationship, assessment or clinical judgement of a trained professional. In your social content, it's worth reinforcing this and always pointing people toward professional support.
Use AI to turn technical topics into accessible, informative content in a measured tone that doesn't promise outcomes or encourage self-diagnosis. Review everything before posting and check your professional body's current guidance on advertising. The prompts on this page already build these precautions in.
