Metanoia Institute Conference 2026

Encounters with Difference: Rupture and Repair in Psychotherapy and Counselling

Friday 27 February 2026 Hilton DoubleTree, Ealing, London

Lunch served at Metanoia Institute for all delegates

*Attendance at this conference will provide 6 CPD hours.

Ruptures in the therapeutic relationship are unavoidable – but they can also become turning points for growth, resilience and transformation.

This year’s Metanoia Institute Conference invites practitioners, academics and students to explore how rupture is navigated across therapeutic traditions – and how the process of repair opens doors to deeper connection, healing and resilience.

The programme features

• Keynote address – Professor Catherine Eubanks (Adelphi University, New York) on the latest research and practice in rupture and repair

• Plenary panel – Perspectives from Gestalt, Integrative, Humanistic, Person-Centred and Transactional Analysis approaches (Laurence Hegan, Dr John Hills, Melissa Cliffe, Louise Tunbridge, Silvia Baba Neal)

• Semi-plenaries, workshops and discussions – Exploring lived practice and diverse perspectives

More speakers and sessions will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
