Thank you for joining us

The PCI College National Counselling & Psychotherapy Conference 2026, titled Wired for Connection? Counselling and Psychotherapy in the Digital Era brought together practitioners, students, and thought leaders for a day of reflection, discussion, and shared learning. From exploring the impact of digital change to examining the evolving therapeutic relationship, the conversations sparked on the day will continue long after the event itself.
We’re grateful to everyone who attended, presented, and contributed to making this year’s conference such a meaningful experience.
