Connecting with self, others and the environment in a complex world – UKCP’s annual research conference
On Saturday, 7 June 2025, we will hold a one-day research event on the theme of connecting with self, others and the environment in a complex world. This event will showcase emerging research on this topic and is a great opportunity to explore how psychotherapy and connection intersect.
Interested in exploring how psychotherapists can connect with themselves, both as practitioners and people, with others in our local and global communities and with the environment during this complicated time in human history? Do you want to explore the role that psychotherapy can play in strengthening community and building resilience?
You’ll have the opportunity to hear from UKCP members about the research they’ve conducted on this theme, attend talks from research experts in this field, and connect with other psychotherapists interested in psychotherapy and connection.
