Description

We are pleased to release the UKCPs annual research conference where cutting-edge research meets practical and effective clinical applications.   

On Saturday, 23 May 2026, UKCP held a one-day research conference on the theme of “The evolving psychotherapy profession: practice, ethos and community” led by Paige Wilson, UKCP policy and research officer.   

This event showcased emerging research on this topic and was a great opportunity to engage in a rich exploration of how practice, ethos and community intersect.   

Are you interested in hearing more about how psychotherapy can impact particular client groups? Do you want to learn more about the role of training or supervision in psychotherapeutic practice? Would you like to deepen your knowledge of emerging themes in psychotherapy, such as the use of digital technologies or anti-oppressive practice?

Now you can, with exclusive 12-month access  access to the conference recording. 

You’ll join a growing community of practitioners, researchers and change-makers who are reimagining how therapy can be taught and delivered in today’s world.  

This recording includes a featured workshop from Dr Panagiota Trangantzopolou on the power of supervision in building resilience and reducing burnout in psychotherapy.  

Your purchase also includes access to presentations from our speakers, including a featured workshop by Rebecca Rooney on camouflaging among autistic women* in higher education (*inclusive of individuals socialised as women or girls across the gender spectrum).  

You can earn up to 3.75 CPD hours.
