I'm about to go live on-air @BBCLeicester to talk about counselling and the need for more POC to enter the profession AND for the profession to offer culturally-appropriate training #counselling #therapy
For people who want to know more about training as a counsellor - see our counselling courses delivered at @LCPCatNo12
For Muslim Communities who want to find a Muslim Counsellor search our @MCAPN_CO_UK Counselling Directory mcapn.co.uk/counselling-di… or check out @MCAPN_CO_UK for support for Muslim counsellors and therapists 👍🏼
.I called for more people from marginalised, minority communities to apply for training - as the profession needs the diversity of our communities & to meet our communities' needs AND housekeeping so training is accessible to all & curriculum is culturally & socially contextual.

For all 'BAME' organisations, organisations who state they work with 'BAME' communities and/or organisations/networks for 'BAME' people, one of the most powerful ways to acknowledge the lived experiences of oppression & dynamic of being 'othered' is to stop using the term 'BAME'.
The term 'BAME' is oppressive itself & reflects a projected identity onto minoritised communities instead of its true dynamic which is of minoritising, othering & oppressing Black & Brown people. For minoritised groups to use the term 'BAME' is to repeat internalised oppression.
Instead being 'minoritised' is a reflection of the relationship between the oppressors and oppressed. Something being done to 1 group by another. Whereas 'minority' reflects an identity of 1 group, ignoring any relationship with those doing the labelling.

I invite @BACP to share the Governance process of Motions & Resolutions - what the vetting process & criteria is for a Motion or Resolution to make it eligible for voting on - so how Board made decisions. This transparency would support understanding of why some are/not included.
It's important for all members to know that Motions/Resolutions have to comply with Governance/Charity regulation to be eligible, rather than @BACP Board subjectivity. However separate to that are the @BACP responses, which is a reflection of the Board/organisational position.
It's important to understand that a Motion/Resolution being eligible for voting on, doesn't automatically mean that the org/Board is supportive of it. That's where their response comes in - and how we understand IF they are supportive of it or not. It's why our Votes Matter!

There are so many problems & implications with this @BACP Motion. Along with many already mentioned: 1) this motion fundamentally changes the professional standard across the organisation - what does MAPS have to say about it? 2) it undermines BACP's own accredited courses (1)
3) it wipes out a huge % of members 'work' & what they have been trained to do, according to PS 4) it means some Board members are not fit to practice LT - as some qualified to L4 - so how can they support this motion, justify being on the Board or say representing members??(2)
5) it oppresses & eliminates any value of equality, equity & social justice - not all can access PG training. Privilege in action. 6) it creates & reinforces elitism in the profession. 7) it fundamentally sits in complete opposition to the @BACP strategy of social justice!!! (3)

Delivering another workshop tomorrow on Working withIN Diversity. So pleased that many counselling services, counsellors and organisations are open to learning about intersectionality, identity & power dynamics in therapeutic spaces, process and relationships #counselling #CPD
I love delivering training. Today is all about #workingwithindiversity and exploring the identity of counsellors & clients in the counselling room and relationship, especially when working with clients from ethnic minority & marginalised communities #counselling #CPD Image
Exploring privilege and oppression of ethnicity and race #counselling #workingwithindiversity #CPD Image

So pleased to be able to bring my workshop - Working withIN diversity - to another cohort of counsellors. Exploring identity, intersectionality, power, privilege & oppression. #workingwithindiversity #intersectionality #counselling Image
Exploring positions of oppression and power. Something which exists in the counselling/therapeutic professions & practice. Can be experienced as microaggressions, criticising or dismissing an 'other's' experiences, work, success, projects or progress. Professional envy is real! Image
Our afternoon discussion - what impact do you think #intersectionality might have on the counselling process, therapeutic relationship and presenting problem? #counselling #identity Image

Looking forward to delivering this one-day workshop/training to a national counselling service today! #counselling #therapy #training Image
When we say 'working with', what we are actually doing and being in, is a Relationship. So both my idenity and the identity of the other person are present and in relationship with one another #relationships #intersectionality #diversity Image
In #counselling it's important we understand, explore and reflect on our own and our client's intersectionality, and the relationship dynamic created between the two. Great discussion in our morning session addressing those systems of oppression and our #intersectionality. Image
