IPCAPA MASTERCLASS SERIES

Welcome to the 2nd  of the IPCAPA Masterclass Supervision series 2024-25. This series offers a live online space for IPCAPA child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapists to present

their clinical work to a senior child psychotherapy clinician, in the presence of a professional audience. It is an opportunity to observe an Independent approach in practice, and to gain a deeper understanding of how we work with children, adolescents and young adults. 

We are delighted that Iris Gibbs is going to be in the supervisor’s chair for the first event of 2025.
