RESEARCH - Jennifer McCarthy Flynn

Dear Colleague,

I am writing to invite your participation in my research study entitled: 

In Relationship in Ireland: An exploration of how women are meeting women in the psychotherapeutic relationship in an unequal society

I am a student on the MSc in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy in Turning Point Institute (TPI) and University College Cork (UCC). The MSc requires the completion of a research study relating to psychotherapy.

The purpose of the study is to explore how women psychotherapists and women clients are meeting in the therapeutic relationship in an unequal society.

The research will involve accredited members of a national body in Ireland, including ICP, IAHIP, IACP, NAPCP, PSI, APCP, with two years or more experience who may be in centre based or in private practice. If you are an accredited Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapist who identifies as a woman and has had clients who identify as women and are interested in the topic of the study, you are eligible to take part.

If you would like to take part, you will be invited to participate in an interview that will take approximately one hour, at a mutually agreed time and place. Your participation is voluntary.

If you wish to take part or would like more information on the study, you can contact me at 116106630@umail.ucc.ie

Thank you for your consideration

Kind regards,

Jennifer McCarthy Flynn
