Online CPD Session | Friday, 20 November 2026 | 11:30am–1:00pm
UPCA members may be interested in this online CPD session hosted by the UKCP College of Family, Couple and Systemic Psychotherapy (CFCSP), featuring Hugh Palmer, systemic psychotherapist, supervisor and educator.
Drawing on Gregory Bateson’s cybernetic epistemology and William Blake’s poetic vision, the session will explore how systemic thinking can deepen our understanding of power, ecology and relational ethics in contemporary therapeutic practice.
Participants will be invited to reflect on how power operates within relationships and family systems, the limitations of dualistic ways of thinking, and what systemic approaches can offer in the context of today’s ecological and political challenges. The session will consider the implications for therapeutic relationships, professional practice, connection and responsibility.
The session is open to all, including UKCP and non-UKCP members, and may be of particular interest to systemic and family psychotherapy trainees, practitioners and psychotherapists.
Delegates with confirmed attendance will receive a certificate of attendance, which can be submitted for consideration towards CPD hours. Discounted rates are available for UKCP members.
