It is with joy that we welcome Bev Gibbons TSTA(P) as our keynote “setting-the-scene” speaker for NETAC 2025.

Bev Gibbons TSTA(P) is an experienced psychotherapist, trainer and clinical supervisor. In her work as a psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer, Bev is motivated by the promise of discovering moments or threads of authenticity, courage, honesty, and intimacy. The certainty of these moments keeps her engaged, alive, alert, and anticipating. When such moments occur, Bev explains her entire being is ignited—charged, sometimes shocked, often challenged, and always transformed.

Bev is also deeply interested in the experience of sitting with someone and feeling a sense of disconnection, despite sharing the same space. Then, in a small gesture, a look, or a breath, a moment of recognition emerges—only to slip away again. Over time, these fleeting moments are held for longer, eventually forming threads that weave into the fabric of a relationship. The promise unfolds. This is why she does what she does.
