Welcome to the Therapy Network North East
This network is for qualified and soon to be qualified counsellors, therapists, psychotherapists and psychologists. We're more than just professional development. We're a supportive community dedicated to peer support, meaningful connection, and self-care for therapy professionals. We know the therapy world can sometimes feel isolating, we felt it too. That's why we created our networking events.
We hold face-to-face therapist networking events across the North East quarterly and run Facebook and LinkedIn groups to support our network. We create a welcoming, relaxed space where practitioners can come together to build referral networks, learn about CPD opportunities in the North East, and find genuine support whether you're in an organisation or private practice.
Our next networking event is on Friday 12th September 2025 at 10.15am until 11.45am.
Our speaker is Dr Katherine Uher. She will be speaking on Traumatism: The Hidden Wound in Autistic People and will be introducing the concept of traumatism (systemic and repeated invalidation). How this shows up in therapy rooms: e.g. rejection sensitivity, distrust of professionals, masking, people pleasing, chronic apologising. Practical takeaway: How therapists can create micro-moments of safety that rebuild trust.
Dr Katherine Uher is an openly autistic psychotherapist, author, and researcher specialising in complex trauma within the autistic community. She brings both lived experience and clinical expertise to her work, offering a unique perspective on how trauma and neurodivergence intersect. Katherine is the author of the forthcoming book Why So Many Autistic People Have Complex Trauma—and What We Can Do About It (JKP, 2026), and the creator of the Trauma-Informed Support Model (TISM), which challenges deficit-based approaches and centres human dignity. She works with therapists, families, and autistic people to build approaches rooted in empathy, authenticity, and systemic change.
