## Resource

In Episode 378 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in 'Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore AI, bias and critical thinking in counselling, examining the risks of bias and discrimination and the importance of critical thinking when using AI in counselling practice. Then in 'Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Emma Neville about making menopause matter - exploring lived experience, advocacy, education, and the importance of open conversations around menopause. And finally in 'Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss why counselling skills can sometimes feel difficult and how students can build confidence and trust in their developing practice.
