Events

We aim to offer events which draw on a broad range of interventions and approaches that can supplement or be integrated into our work as psychanalytic or psychodynamic therapists. We also aim to offer occasional events which simply give us something new to think about.

It is hoped FiP CPD events will provide an opportunity for members to interact as a community as well as supporting our practice as psychotherapists.

CPD hosted by FiP is free to its members. Events are also available for non-members to to book, please click on the ‘further details’ links below for further details.
