AI Companionship in Clinical Practice
Amy Jean Clark
Self-paced online course · progress saved in your browser
If your clients are forming significant relationships with AI systems — and some already are — this course gives you a practical starting point for recognising, exploring, and responding to those relationships. Every client's experience of AI companionship is different, so it offers a framework for thoughtful clinical inquiry rather than a one-size-fits-all guide.
A free condensed course covers the whole thing in 30–45 minutes, if you'd like to look first. A certificate of completion is included with the full course.
Australian psychologists: this course may count toward self-directed CPD under your learning plan — log the hours you spend against your own requirements.
$149 AUD · lifetime access

Built for psychologists, counsellors, and other mental-health clinicians — no technical background assumed.
By the end, you'll be able to
- Describe the AI companion landscape and how clients are actually using these systems.
- Distinguish adaptive AI companionship from elevated-risk patterns of engagement.
- Respond therapeutically when AI companionship enters the clinical picture — screening, formulation, and session language.
- Navigate ethical and emerging issues, from privacy to model retirement and AI companion loss.
Each module draws on the current peer-reviewed and preprint literature — see the Reading List in the clinician toolkit and my research.
