Therapy and Social Change Network
The Therapy and Social Change (TaSC) Network is a broad affiliation of people interested in exploring the interface between therapeutic ideas and practices and social justice perspectives and actions. We are interested both in the ways that counselling and psychotherapy can be practiced with social justice concerns in mind (for instance, tackling unconscious biases in the consulting room), and also in the ways that therapeutic principles and practices can be extended out to the wider social realm (for instance, developing social and emotional literacy in schools). A strategic discussion paper can be accessed here.

Therapy and Social Change Network (TaSC) Conference 2026
Solidarity Across Difference: What Do We Hold? How Do We Honour?
Saturday 25th April 2026, 0930-1700, Elm Grove Conference Centre
In an increasingly polarised world, how can we learn to engage across difference: with others, within ourselves, and within our communities? What do we have to bear--and what do we have to honour--in order to relate meaningfully and respectfully across the divides that shape our world?
The 2026 TaSC Conference invites participants to explore how we might cultivate more peaceful, cooperative, and understanding ways of relating—ways in which difference becomes a source of creativity and learning rather than conflict. We will draw together insights from in-depth therapeutic practice and social justice practices, bridging psychological and political perspectives to consider what solidarity across difference truly requires.

The TaSC Network is a community of therapists and non-therapists: trans, people of colour, White, disabled, cis gendered, Muslim... We strive to recognise our differences; the forms of privilege and marginalisation that come with them; and are committed—wherever possible--to dialogue as a means of developing social wellbeing and justice. We are committed to creating a space for all, and recognise that, at times, this may mean pushing back on prejudice and discrimination (such as transphobia or antisemitism).
