Join us for "A Phenomenology of Racism in Counselling and Psychotherapy" with Dr. Dwight Turner, where we delve into the profound impact of race as a construct and the experiences of internalized racism. This is an essential session for professionals in the field of counselling and psychotherapy, offering valuable insights and discussions around this crucial topic.

The event will explore race as a construct of whiteness, patriarchy, and class superiority, examining its pervasive influence and the trauma associated with being perceived as 'other'. It promises to be an enlightening experience through personal and case studies, affirming the existence and impact of racism.

This workshop will be held on Zoom, ensuring an interactive and engaging atmosphere. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding and practice. Click the link to learn more and reserve your spot today.

Dear Friends
It gives me great pleasure to reveal the cover of my next book 'A Phenomenology of Racism in Counselling and Psychotherapy.'
Coming in September, this is the second of the two I promised at the beginning of the year. An important book this one uses phenomenology to build upon and expand our understanding of race and racism.
As before, there is already a book launch workshop planned for October.
So, I look forward to sharing my work with you all soon.
Regards Dwight 🙏🏿

We are very excited to announce our upcoming event The Feminist Imagination in Therapy, taking place in London in October.

Inspired by presentations and provocations from Dr. Lola Olufemi and Micha Frazer-Carroll we will spend time with each other in reflective dialogue and/or art making practices in order to access our collective feminist imagination and consider otherwise possibilities of practicing therapy that are rooted in an interdependent ethic of care and justice-doing.
