I am committed to anti-oppressive practice.
This means a continual journey of learning, reflection, and awareness that I have and do get it wrong.
For me, the personal is political, and politics has a place in the therapy room. We live within systems of oppression and privilege; those systems both underpin and overarch our lives. It is my responsibility as a therapist to hold space for my clients to explore this space, should they wish to.
I am a member of a number of networks and directories, both formal and informal. I meet regularly with a group of counsellors and psychotherapists dedicated to intersectional and anti-oppressive therapeutic practice to (un) learn, reframe, heal and re-build ways of working that are fundamentally anti-racist, anti-capitalist and anti-oppressive.
