Event Details:

On Friday 15th January 2021 The Psychologists Protection Society Trust invited Andy Williams to speak on the topic “From Virtual to Visceral: Wonderings, Wanderings and Provocations of returning to Face-to-Face Therapy”. The session was part of the Psychologists Protection Society’s 2021 Annual General Meeting and was held online.

Session Outline:

As therapists emerge from their Zoom bunkers, blinking in the sunlight of the post-apocalyptic COVID world, what might they need to consider as they return to therapy in the face-to-face context?

In this workshop, employing a range of theories and therapeutic stances, Andy Williams offers the practitioner a set of questions that they might like to consider as they move from one therapeutic context to another. By the end of the workshop delegates will be equipped with a set of questions and considerations to support their own practice in their own context.
