Therapists of the global majority living in the UK: Exploring experiences of ethnocultural countertransference in the intraethnic therapeutic dyad
About the research: This research aims to explore the experiences of global majority therapists living within the UK, and hopes to understand how ethnicity and culture as factors within the countertransference process might affect the therapeutic relationship with clients of a similar ethnic and cultural background, as well as how this might be managed.
Participating in this research presents the opportunity to share your experiences of a unique and under-researched topic. It will also help with developing what is known about ethnocultural countertransference, particularly with regards to therapists from the global majority who are currently underrepresented within psychological professions. This may help to inform training programmes, and clinical practice, and develop avenues of support for global majority trainees.
Who can participate: Therapists from a psychological profession (e.g. psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors) who identify as: Black, Brown, African, Asian, Arab, mixed heritage, indigenous to the global south, or being racialised as an ethnic minority, are being recruited for this research study. There is also the requirement that you will have at least 4 years of experience of delivering therapy in a professional capacity.
What to expect: Participants will be invited to share their experiences in an online 1:1 interview which will last approximately 60 minutes. Participants will be gifted a 拢20 voucher for their time.
