BACP Therapy Today May 2024

BACP events and CPD

This year’s Private Practice Conference is a hybrid event on Saturday 14 September online and in London at etc.venues St Paul’s, and will explore problems that therapists of all modalities can face. We’ll look at unexpected crises that can prove overwhelming, explore how we deal with ethical dilemmas when there seems to be no obvious answer, and look at common issues that therapists and supervisors may struggle with, such as finding effective ways to discuss cultural and other differences in the therapy room. We’ll also help you to understand your own limitations to prevent burnout using practical and self-help measures. For the first time the conference will also include a live panel discussion. The conference aims to help you: • Feel more confident and competent in tackling difficult and sometimes taboo topics in therapy • Enhance your ethical decision- making skills and apply them to complex scenarios • Strengthen self-awareness and personal boundaries as a therapist • Expand your understanding of legal and professional frameworks impacting therapy practice • E ngage in open dialogue and collaborative learning with colleagues on contemporary ethical challenges.
