About this event
If you’re a Black woman in the UK interested or working in counselling, psychology or coaching, you won’t want to miss this conversation. This is the first in a new programme series: Black Women Therapists In Conversation, featuring a range of motivational speakers, spotlighting creative approaches to successful careers in the helping professions and inviting you to ask any burning questions.
Presented by Black Women Therapists UK (BWTUK) 1st ever One-Day Online Conference hosts Mary Pascall and Tonia Mihill, in the lead up to BWTUK 25, to support you in forging your best path to a successful practice.
We begin this new programme series on International Women’s Day, Saturday 8th March 2025, 10 am GMT, with mindfulness practitioner Hycinth Taylor speaking with Mary Pascall on mindfulness practice and the transformative power of mindfulness in healing generational trauma.
