Gaming and Mental Health

• Zoom
• 24th Oct '25 11.00 am – 1.00 pm

Much has been said about the impact of gaming and gaming culture on mental health. But what do we really know about it?

This workshop will introduce the culture of gaming, an overview of types of games and the social world they facilitate, things to think about when working with clients who are gamers, and what the current research says about gaming and mental health.

No prior knowledge of gaming culture will be assumed.

Danny van Deurzen-Smith is an existential coach and academic registrar at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling. Danny is also the course leader of the MA in Existential Coaching.

This workshop is online and includes a CPD certificate.
