Welcome to the Society of Psychotherapy
The Society, founded in 1998, sponsors lectures and seminars on all aspects of psychotherapy. They are open to all friends of psychotherapy.
Lectures normally take place at 7pm to 8.30pm on the third Tuesday of each month during the academic year (October to July). They are currently being held online hosted by Meetup. Each seminar costs £6. The link will be provided once you book online via our Meetup page (https://www.meetup.com/Society-of-Psychotherapy/) or at the Existential Academy web page (www.existential.academy)
Please note that the views of speakers are their own, and not necessarily those of the Society of Psychotherapy or its officers
