Guest Speaker

The guest speaker this year will be Professor Mick Cooper. Mick is a Professor of Counselling Psychology at the University of Roehampton, a practising Psychotherapist, and a fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In recent years, Mick has articulated a pluralistic approach to counselling and psychotherapy with John McLeod, publishing Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy (Sage) in 2011.  Mick is also author of a range of texts on person-centred and relational approaches to therapy, including Existential Therapies (Sage, 2003).

 


Other details:

Registration: Begins at 9.00am and the AGM will commence at 10.00am.

Subsidised Lunch: The Executive Committee have decided to provide lunch at the subsidised rate of €10 to all attendees. The reason that it needs to be subsidised this year is that at the 2013 AGM, 70 members who registered for the event did not attend on the day but the IACP still had to pay the cost of lunch and refreshments for each of these members.

Social Evening: A social evening with entertainment, complimentary finger food and refreshments will be held in the “Le Panto” room in the Hotel on Friday 21st (the evening before the AGM) at 8.00pm. The social evening is open to all IACP Members and their spouse or partner.

If you plan to attend the social evening, you must register in advance by clicking on this link http://www.iacp.ie/page/all_events/148

Please note: The AGM and Social Evening are different events on different days and you must register for both of these events separately. Your tickets (for both events) will be emailed to you once you have registered.
