The evolving psychotherapy profession: practice, ethos and community

On Saturday, 23 May 2026, UKCP will hold an online one-day research event on the theme of “The evolving psychotherapy profession: practice, ethos and community.” This event will showcase emerging research on this topic and is a great opportunity to engage in a rich exploration of how practice, ethos and community intersect.
