Shaping Your Practice: Responding to the 2026 comissions

This interactive workshop builds on the keynote discussion, giving delegates the chance to reflect on the key themes and consider their practical implications for counselling and psychotherapy.

You’ll explore the opportunities, challenges, and emerging trends shaping the profession, while reflecting on how these developments might affect your own practice.

We want to hear your voice, sharing your experiences, concerns, and ideas will help BACP better support members and ensure that as the profession evolves, you feel informed, empowered, and connected.

This session aims to:

  • explore the profession’s biggest challenges and opportunities and what they mean for you
  • turn the 2026 Commission’s insights into practical actions for your practice
  • reflect on your confidence and concerns, and identify ways to navigate change with support and clarity
