University Centre Weston is proud to announce the exceptional achievements of two of its members, student Kimberley and lecturer Matthew, who recently delivered captivating research presentations at the renowned British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Conference.
The BACP Conference, held annually, brings together esteemed professionals and researchers from the field of counselling and psychotherapy. This year, the conference served as a platform for Kimberley and Matthew to showcase their innovative work, shedding light on important topics within Counselling theory and practice.
Kimberley, third year Counselling student, presented her research paper based on her dissertation research which explored bereavement counsellors’ experiences and perceptions of the influence of cultural narratives on disenfranchised grief during COVID-19. She told us:
“It was an amazing feeling to have delegates come up to me after my presentation to express appreciation for my work and share their own COVID experiences. These conversations are so important if we are to grapple with what happened during the pandemic, so that both the counselling profession and wider society can learn from these experiences as we look to the future.”
Her thought-provoking presentation received accolades from both fellow attendees and industry professionals, demonstrating her insightful analysis.
In addition to Kimberley’s impressive contribution, lecturer Matthew further enhanced University Centre Weston’s presence at the BACP Conference with his master’s research presentation.
The participation of Kimberley and Matthew at the BACP Conference not only highlights their individual success but also reflects University Centre Weston’s commitment to providing a nurturing environment that encourages research excellence and practical application. Through such endeavours, the institution aims to help shape the future of counselling, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact in the field.
University Centre Weston congratulates Kimberley and Matthew on their remarkable achievements and looks forward to supporting more of our students and faculty members in their pursuit of advancing the Counselling and psychotherapy profession.
