| about
For our Seventh Symposium of the Ukrainian and European Psychotherapy Alliance we are exploring the vital theme of mental exhaustion, loss, grief and positive change in psychotherapy in extraordinary times of war and uncertainty.
Our Seventh Symposium will be held online on Friday 21 February 2025.
| UUAP AND EAP ALLIANCE
In October 2022, at the invitation of the then President of EAP Patricia Hunt FRSA, senior members of the Executive of the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) started to meet regularly with senior members of the Ukrainian Umbrella Association of Psychotherapy (UUAP). The aim was, and still is, to provide support to Ukrainian Psychotherapists in this terrible time of war. When EAP asked “What help can we give you?”, the answer was “Please help us to organise Symposiums for Ukrainian Psychotherapists to support them in their work during the war”.
