UKCP Conference 2026 – Threads across the divide: weaving connections in a fragmented world
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.
We’re hard at work putting together an inspiring line-up of speakers and a dynamic programme. Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing more news and sneak peeks about the conference, from our main programme to special activities. Here's what's in store so far – we look forward to unveiling more of the details with you in the near future.

9:00 – 10:00: registration, arrival refreshments and exhibition
