Beyond the Screen: Therapy & Coaching in a Digital World
About the event
Panel Discussion: Technology is transforming the way therapists and coaches practice, connect with clients, build their businesses, and even portray their own professional identities. From AI and virtual assistants to social media, podcasts, online platforms, and digital marketing, technology offers powerful new opportunities—but also raises important questions about privacy, boundaries, authenticity, and the role of human connection. In this panel discussion, five experienced therapists and coaches will explore how they are navigating the opportunities and the challenges of this rapidly changing landscape, and where they believe technology can—and cannot—replace the human element at the heart of their work.
Practicalities: The event will take place at Kube Coworking, upstairs in the Open Hall. We will begin promptly at 6.30pm so please ensure that you are seated before then so as not to disrupt the energy of the event. You can buy refreshments at the adjoining cafe before the event.
There is no charge for attendance but we recommend a voluntary donation of at least €5 (cash only) for those who are willing and able to contribute to help cover the use of the venue, support for the presenters, as well as administrative costs.
If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to reach out to Kat LeRoy.
