About the Conference
2020 and 2021 have been years like no other. For online therapy this has seen enormous growth for our online profession. And so much to learn, so much to excite us.
Our Conference will be an exciting thought-provoking day with:
- leading expert speakers, providing a series of presentations of key topics in the field,
- interactive workshops and
- time to network and relax together in the online therapeutic professional community.
This is a conference for all mental health practitioners working online, including therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and other health care professionals.
