As a clinical hypnotherapist and with 20 years’ experience working in frontline services, I understand how important confidentiality, trust and professional responsibility are.

Removing a client’s name does not necessarily make their information anonymous. Details such as their age, location, occupation or personal circumstances could still identify them—and different AI tools may store, review or reuse the information entered.

If you use AI for notes, client emails, treatment ideas, quiz results or resources, you need to know what is safe to share before you press enter.

This free guide gives you a simple five-minute check, clear examples of higher-risk uses and safer ways to write prompts—helping you use AI without accidentally compromising client confidentiality or your professional responsibilities.

Do you know whether your AI tool stores or reuses the information you enter?

Could your client still be identified after you remove their name?

Are you confident about which client details should never be entered into AI?

Would you know what to do if sensitive information had already been shared?
