I’m seeking a highly skilled Botpress expert to help build a professional, emotionally intelligent therapeutic chatbot. This bot will serve as a supportive, grounded companion — reflecting the tone and techniques of a real therapeutic session — while incorporating advanced conversational methods. The chatbot should integrate a blend of NLP, conversational and traditional hypnotherapy, CPT, Ericksonian hypnosis, parts therapy, Socratic questioning, and mind-bending language techniques. Because therapeutic dialogue is non-linear, the bot must adapt dynamically to user input using branching logic, decision-tree flows, and contextual memory. You’ll be responsible for designing the bot’s personality, conversation architecture, safety layers, fallback behaviour, and memory structure. I will provide content such as the knowledge base and hypnotic script material, and I must retain full editing control for future updates. Precision in pacing, word choice, pauses, and linguistic nuance is essential, as these elements directly affect the effectiveness of hypnotic and therapeutic responses. Future phases will include integrating a virtual avatar and later expanding into AI capable of interpreting body language and non-verbal cues to adjust responses in real time. The chatbot must always feel safe, compassionate, and supportive — without diagnosing or replacing licensed therapy. If you have experience building psychology-informed or hypnosis-oriented conversational systems, that is a significant plus. I can also share audio recordings of live sessions to help you understand the therapeutic flow and tone.
