Black Women Therapists: Challenging the ‘Strong Black Woman’ Archetype

Saturday 4th February

Who’s in the room? Black Women Therapists: Challenging the ‘Strong Black Woman’ Archetype Workshop with Mary Pascall

 

The aim of the workshop is to offer a supportive and reflexive space in which to explore the influence of the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype on the psyche and clinical practice of Black/BIPOC women therapists. We will consider how the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype impacts identity, choice of training or modality and, ultimately, the therapeutic relationship.

This is a rare opportunity for qualified practitioners and counsellors in training to come together to discuss the influence of the ‘Strong Black woman’ archetype on clinical practice.

Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event:

  • An introduction to the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype.
  • Identifying the configurations of the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype in the therapeutic relationship.
  • Understanding the influence of the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype on the identity formation and choice of modality for Black/BIPOC women practitioners.

Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?

  • Suitable for qualified Black/BIPOC women therapists and trainee counsellors, counselling service providers, supervisors and counselling tutors.

How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?

  • The workshop will offer participants an opportunity to reflect on their current practice.
