Therapists Talking Therapy28 Joulu 2022

S2E4: "My Psychotherapy Career - XL"

My professional organisation, the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy - UKCP for short, has been running a podcast call 'My Psychotherapy Career'. In this podcast series members of the UKCP talk about how they became a psychotherapist and various other questions about working in their particular field.

I took part in this podcast in the summer of 2022 talking particularly about my work at the Terrence Higgins Trust in the early 1980s and at the July 7th Assistance Centre which was set up to help the survivors, bereaved and first responders of the 2005 London bombings. Around these events I talk about my learning to train and work as a psychotherapist, my philosophy as well as my relationship to the UKCP as an organisation.

The UKCP podcast runs for about 30 minutes which is an edited version of a conversation that lasts around an hour. I asked the UKCP for the audio recording of the full hour and that's what is presented here. There were some topics that had to be edited out of the UKCP version because of time and yet I wanted these thoughts and ideas to be presented.

You can hear the short version here:
