Overview of workshop

The morning will provide a safe space to discuss and explore therapeutic issues linked to race and culture, using the relational CAT framework as scaffolding. It will combine presentation, large and small group discussion, and clinical case scenarios.

Power and Powerlessness: Exploring Issues of Race and Culture in Therapy is the first in an Inclusive CAT series of full and half day CPD events focussing on CAT practice in the context of equality, diversity and intersectionality. These aim to support CAT therapists in working sensitively and effectively with individuals and client groups with protected characteristics.

The series includes an afternoon session with Jessie on Working with Interpreters, Bilingualism and CAT. You can book both half days together at a reduced rate by following this link.

Aims and learning outcomes

The day is designed to help participants:

  • Explore issues around race and culture and the impact of these on self and others in clinical work and supervision.
  • Particularly focus on power dynamics in considering race and culture in therapy.
  • Recognise and reformulate our positions in relation to context and history.
  • Understand systemic and structural discrimination and how this shapes identity and presentation.

Attending this event will support participants in developing skills for ethical and race cognizant practice. They will also take away a reading list for further professional development.

Who is it for?

The event will be relevant for qualified and trainee CAT therapists (practitioner & psychotherapist level), plus other qualified and trainee therapists and UKCP-registered psychotherapists. Some familiarity with the CAT model will be useful but the main requirement is that participants are open to the use of self in their practice.
