A place of useful research: Enhancing the impact of the Strathclyde Counselling & Psychotherapy Research Clinic

PCT Scotland is a stakeholder in a project being run by the Strathclyde Counselling and Psychotherapy Research Clinic (at the University of Strathclyde) called: A place of useful research: Enhancing the impact of the Strathclyde Counselling & Psychotherapy Research Clinic.

Four free workshops are being offered as part of the project. The first of these looks at practice-based research.

All workshops will be held on the University of Strathclyde campus in the afternoon (1.30-5PM) beginning with a light lunch from 1pm. 

We are delighted to announce that the project website is now up and running, please see link below: 

Strathclyde Counselling & Psychotherapy Research Clinic - IAA Project | University of Strathclyde

The website contains more information about the workshops and the optional follow-up research element of the project. This will give you a better understanding of what is on offer. You should also be able to sign up to any of the workshops that interest you via a link to Eventbrite on the website.  Currently, tickets for the first of the four workshops (Practice-based Research ) - on 7^th October - are available. The remaining three – dates and titles below - will be updated soon. 

Monday 1st December 2025 - Social Anxiety 

Tuesday 3rd February 2026 - Ethnic Diversity  

Tuesday 28th April 2026 - Neurodiversity  

Please note that workshop places are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.  

The project aims to foster knowledge exchange between practitioners and researchers in the counselling and psychotherapy field. As the research clinic focuses on person-centred therapy this project will be of specific interest to person-centred therapists, and we hope that PCT Scotland members will want to take part.

Attendees at each workshop will be invited to take part in a follow-up research study that involves completing short anonymous online surveys at regular intervals after the workshop to find out what (if anything) you have taken away from the workshop. All participation in the workshops and/or follow-up-research is completely voluntary.

You can contact the project team at counselling-research-events@strath.ac.uk if you have any questions.
