NEWS
The Coalition for Inclusion and Anti-Oppressive Practice brings together organisations with a shared mission to improve diversity within the counselling, psychotherapy and psychological therapy professions.
Coalition joint statement: Its current focus is promoting inclusive and anti-oppressive professional training as part of a greater vision to address further barriers to inclusive practice, particularly in relation to supporting racially and ethnically minoritised communities.
Coalition members:
Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC)
Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP)
British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT)
Muslim Counsellor and Psychotherapist Network (MCAPN)
National Counselling Society (NCS)
Psychotherapists and Counsellors for Social Responsibility (PCSR)
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)
Following consultation with trainers and training providers in February 2021, the Coalition partners have agreed to commission and deploy an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Toolkit for Counselling and Psychotherapy programmes.
This will support the development of skills, knowledge and understanding for delivering inclusive counselling and psychotherapy training across a range of learning organisations. With an initial focus on race and ethnicity, the primary objectives of the toolkit will be to provide support on three areas of course provision: the institution; the training programme; and the individual tutor (launching in 2023).
The toolkit is currently being drafted by Marcelline Menyié and Danielle Osajivbe-Williams.

RESEARCH PARTICIPANT REQUESTS
WORKING WITH INTERCULTURAL COUPLES AND/OR POLYAMOUROUS RELATIONSHIPS
Call for therapists who have experience of working with intercultural couples and/or polyamorous romantic relationships to participate in a research study.
In my doctoral dissertation, I am interested in exploring therapists’ experiences of working with intercultural coupes and/or polyamorous romantic relationships. I am looking for therapists who have experience of working with intercultural relationships to participate in a single online interview that will take approximately half an hour. If you are interested in participating, please contact Ekaterina, Trainee Counselling Psychologist, York St John University, on 07521 483818 or by emailing ekaterina.yurtaeva@yorksj.ac.uk. I would really appreciate your involvement!
WORKING WITH BEREAVED CLIENTS
An exploration of counsellors working with bereaved clients who have a sensory
experience of the deceased (SED): A Qualitative Study
Aim
The aim of this research is to gain insight into the experience of counsellors working with bereaved clients who experience a sense of presence of the deceased person (SED), whether this is seeing or hearing them or feeling their presence in some other way.
It is hoped that this will contribute to psychoeducation and awareness around this subject, so trainees and therapists have access to more information about working with anomalous experiences in counselling, specifically SED, to enable them to respond more effectively to clients’ needs and reduce stigmatisation.
This research is being conducted as part of my MSc in Counselling at the University of Northampton and has been approved by the Psychology Ethics Committee at the University of Northampton.
Participants
I would like to hear from you if you have worked, as a counsellor or psychotherapist, with
bereaved clients who experience a sense of presence of the deceased and:
- Are a trained counsellor who has been working with clients for over 5 years
- Are a member of a counselling regulatory body such as BACP, UKCP or similar
- Were working for over 6 sessions with bereaved clients that experienced a presence of the deceased person
Location
Your participation will involve taking part in a confidential, recorded, semi-structured interview with the researcher lasting approximately 60-90 minutes via the University of Northampton’s online, secure Collaborate rooms.
If you are interested in participating in this research or would like further information, please contact Anna Creasey at anna.creasey20@my.northampton.ac.uk
Alternatively, if you have questions about the research please contact the research supervisor, Rachel Evenden, at Rachel.Evenden@northampton.ac.uk
Thank you.
