Anti-Racism & Anti-Oppressive Practice — A Gestalt Perspective
Friday 10 April 2026
2pm–6pm GMT
Online Workshop
4 CPD Hours
Early-bird €65 | Regular €80
Why this matters now
When racism and exclusion are normalised in public life, therapy rooms are not insulated from their impact. Across Europe, the UK, and beyond, public discourse is hardening. Racist narratives are re-entering mainstream politics
This online workshop invites practitioners to meet this political moment with depth, embodiment, and relational courage, through a Gestalt lens encompassing clinical contact, relational dynamics, and embodied experience.
What you’ll explore
- How oppression and marginalisation live in the clinical field
- Experiential, embodied approaches that move beyond intellectual agreement into lived awareness.
- Develop Gestalt-informed anti-oppressive awareness grounded in dialogue, field sensitivity, and accountability.
- How power, privilege, and positionality shape therapeutic relationships — and how to work with this ethically.
Who this is for
Therapists, counsellors, social workers, supervisors, and practitioners in helping roles who recognise that anti-racist and anti-oppressive work is not optional add-on learning, but an ethical commitment.
If you are asking:
How do I bring social and political awareness into embodied therapeutic practice?
How do I avoid replicating harm while remaining grounded and relational?
How do I respond, rather than retreat, in polarised times?
This space may be for you.
The question is not whether racism and oppression are present in the field.
The question is how we meet them.
