The Person Centred Association have put out a statement stating that as a therapist you cannot be both 'person-centred' and 'gender critical'.

"If we start from a position that a trans identity is somehow flawed, or undesirable, then the only ‘good’ outcome (at least as far as a therapist is concerned) is a rejection of trans identity by the client. We do this by pathologising trans identities as something to be moved away from (much like the idea of traditional lesbian, gay bisexual and asexual (LGBA) conversion therapies ‘of the past’). There is no place for conversion therapy in a person-centred approach, and arguably, for any therapist signed up with the BACP or the NCPS amongst others (who are signed up to the MoU2, which states that “neither sexual orientation nor gender identity in themselves are indicators of a mental disorder”)."

"No one can make a plant grow. But if someone provides the right conditions - soil, nutrients, light, water - it will become the best plant it can be. No one can alter the genetic material of the plant, so no amount of effort will change a rose into a poppy. All you can do is surround it by what it needs and watch it bloom"

The language of strengths individualises each of us; whereas, the language used to describe problems tends more to aggregate us into less well-defined groups. In the following brief video, I will contrast the types of language we use for describing ourselves either from a problems perspective or from a strengths approach.

A Focus on Risk Training

A Focus on Risk Training

    Working with risk and making risk decisions is an essential part of the work of any practitioner in health and social care settings. But, is our risk training really fit for purpose in many organisations? The following short video sets out the case for a training strategy focused more on teams, in order to be a more effective use of time and resources.
