Use the built-in fictional clients or create a non-identifying practice brief. Never enter a real client's name, contact details, case notes, or information that could identify them.
Keep confidential clinical material out of the app
Use fictional or fully de-identified examples
Follow your course, placement, and professional policies
02
Keep human oversight
AI responses and feedback can be incomplete, inaccurate, or poorly judged. Treat them as prompts for reflection, then use a qualified tutor or supervisor for clinical interpretation.
Do not treat a score as evidence of competence
Do not use feedback to make real clinical decisions
Escalate uncertainty, safeguarding, and risk to a human
03
Not for crisis or care
The app does not provide mental-health care and must not be used by someone seeking support for themselves. In an emergency, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis service.
04
Report problems
If a simulated client or feedback response is unsafe, discriminatory, misleading, or otherwise concerning, stop the session and contact support@thepracticeroom.app with the scenario name and what happened.
Build confidence before your next real session.
Practise with an AI client, get written feedback on what worked, and go into your next session knowing what to try.
