Consultancy work
Working with services and organisations to develop transcultural models of counselling/psychotherapy support for clients and service users.
As a therapist, I am advocate of talking therapies and encourage people to talk about their mental health problems, however in some cultures talking about mental health can be seen as taboo and signs of a person struggling can be missed.
Also for someone experiencing problems with their mental health taking the first step to attend therapy can often be the most difficult part of the journey. Sadly at times clients feel some therapist do not understand their experience which prevents them from seeking support or they stop attending therapy, either way they miss out on vital support. I have worked mental health charities and service providers to adapt culturally sensitive models of counselling to help tackle inequalities in mental health and make therapy accessible to all, whatever your background, age, race, ethnicity or culture.
My areas of expertise – I have designed counselling/psychotherapy service model that has helped organisations deliver culturally adapted counselling. My recent project with a South Asian women’s mental health charity in Keighley, West Yorkshire secured funding from NHS commissioners to provide culturally adapted counselling to meet the needs of the community it serves.
I work as a freelance service development consultant and can help develop your service to work with culturally sensitive models of counselling.
