Explore What’s Ahead at the PCHEI 2026 Annual Conference

The PCHEI Annual Conference is the central professional gathering for psychological counsellors working in higher education across Ireland. It offers time and space for reflection, connection, and shared learning on topics that shape our practice and profession.

What to Expect over the Three Days

This year’s programme highlights practice that goes beyond traditional talk therapy — including art-based methods, digital tools, body-based practices, and inclusive innovations that respond to student diversity and complexity.
