Therapy with a Difference

Creating Research-Inspired and Research-Informed Practice!

*** Please note the change from in-person attendance to online attendance ******

ONLINE, 8th March 2024

For a number of years The Metanoia Institute has presented a successful Research Academy event, where the focus was on research methodologies in counselling and psychotherapy research. After popular demand, this year, we will continue with Research Methodology seminars, as in previous years, and we will also integrate streams of Research Papers and in-progress Research Work. This is in line with previous years’ mission to link research with practice: the Research Academy covers qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches to research - with a shared interest in deepening and broadening our understanding of mental health, emotional wellbeing, and psychotherapy.

The Methodology Seminars cover how a specific methodology or process of research is applied, the issues and concerns that emerged, and how researchers and participants have successfully dealt with them.

In the Research Academy 2024, we will present Methodology Seminars and Research Papers with a focus on Creating Research-Inspired and Research-Informed Practice. The seminar and paper presentations will address how research into counselling, psychotherapy, and counselling psychology can, and has, led to a more skilled and knowledgeable practice. We will provide a platform to discuss practice and research-related concerns from qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods and/or pluralistic research angles and interests. Overall, the workshops and papers will reflect the diversity of interests in a multidisciplinary profession like psychotherapy. Embracing the value of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches, the Research Academy 2024 supports research from sometimes contrasting epistemological positionings.

When and Where:

When: 8^th March 2024, starting at 09.00 (entry to the waiting room from then, we shall let people into the main session just before 09:15)

Where: ONLINE via zoom

Keynote Speaker: Professor Naomi Moller, the Open University
