UKCP Conference 2026 – Threads across the divide: weaving connections in a fragmented world


Save the Date: UKCP Conference 2026 takes place on Friday, 19 – Saturday, 20 June 2026 at Mary Ward House in London.

This summer, established and emerging voices in psychotherapy will come together to deliver thought-provoking talks, workshops and discussions to explore how we can foster meaningful human connection in times of increasing isolation.  

Join us for our 2026 conference Threads across the divide: weaving connections in a fragmented world. Together, we’ll delve into the paradoxes of division and unity and consider how the therapeutic relationship can help bridge the gaps that fragment us.
