AI Role Play With Student as Person Centered Therapist Demo

In this activity, you will practice conducting a Person-Centered Therapy (PCT) session where you are the therapist, and the AI will portray a client seeking support. This role-play is designed to help you apply the core attitudes and skills of PCT, such as empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard.

Your Role

• Approach the session as a therapist would with a new client.
• Begin by welcoming the client and creating a safe, non-judgmental space.
• Let the client lead the conversation. Your role is to listen actively, reflect feelings, and stay non-directive.
• Demonstrate the core conditions of Person-Centered Therapy throughout the interaction.

Goals of the Activity

• Practice the core relational attitudes and skills of PCT.
• Build comfort holding therapeutic space without directing or advising.
• Receive reflective feedback to deepen your therapeutic development.

After the Session

Once the session ends, the AI will provide feedback on your performance using a Person-Centered Therapy Competency Rubric, including:

• What you did well
• Where you can improve
• Specific examples tied to best practices in Person-Centered Therapy
