It’s really nice to come to something like this in person. I do a lot of online things but it makes such a difference to actually just network, ask questions and be around people.

Who this conference is for

If you value thoughtful, clinically grounded CPD in a warm, professional community, this afternoon is for you. This conference is designed for practitioners who want to keep their work sharp, ethical and alive.

  • Counsellors and psychotherapists across modalities
  • Coaches and psychologists working with complex presentations
  • Supervisors - or therapists considering moving into supervision
  • Practitioners curious about ADHD, trauma, embodiment and intimacy in contemporary practice

The environment is very robust and lively. The presenters have been really informative, and they’ve got a great sense of humour. I’ve learnt a lot, really getting to network from the onset. I was feeling a bit nervous on the way here because this is my very first in-person conference, but the organisers have made sure that it’s really calm and provided everything we need.
