Psychology, Therapy & Counselling professionals/enthusiasts

A relaxed meet! This will be a small gathering, up to 10.

This meetup is aimed at those working or volunteering in the mental health field, in training/study, or who have a genuine interest in the field (counselling, psychology and therapy).

How it works:

We will introduce attendees to each other as they arrive so that people feel more comfortable. Do grab a stiff or soft drink at the bar to support the venue!

For those who are comfortable introducing themselves, we will do quick intros to the group at about 7pm (first name, background, interests & aims)...there is no pressure and this is only for those that wish to!

Towards the end we will do a short 10-minute group closer, including a summary of the informal topic (see below) for those who wish to stay till 8.30pm! People are of course free to stay on after 8.30pm if they wish to continue the chat.

******************************************************
Above all this will be a chance to share your stories and learn from each other about your experiences in the field: whether you are beginning your journey, a seasoned veteran, or just thinking about how you can make a difference.

TOPIC OF THE WEEK !
The topic of this meet will be an age old one, to discuss informally between each other as the night progresses - with a quick summary and our collective thoughts at the end of the night:

"Is it nature or nurture?"
How do you think genetics and family history impact behaviour and quality of life, versus upbringing and environment (particularly early years development), and which side if any do you think dominates?

Note: we will be upstairs on the large table (it's not big up there) and monitoring the Meetup app on the evening: if you have any trouble finding it/us just comment on the Event or message directly on here and we can help.
