What does it mean to be a human being who stands up for something important? How do we think about our ‘roles’ in community groups, and engage in honest reflection about our own identities, and the individual powers, and vulnerabilities, that we hold.
This event is included in a series of seminars organised in collaboration with the Therapy and Social Change Network.

Presenter
Caz is an experienced therapist and supervisor, working full-time in private practice (in the UK). She is co-lead of #TherapistsConnect; the large networking platform, and is founder of it’s popular student project #TraineeTalk, and more recently, #TherapistsCreate.
She specialises in the field of private practice, with a special interest in the growth and maintenance of both ethical, and, thriving practice. For #TherapistsConnect (and hosted in partnership with Onlinevents), she was creative lead on the two day conference, ’Private practice 2021 : surviving and thriving in uncertain times’, where she also chaired several discussions/debates, and has worked extensively in this area – providing consultation, copywriting services and workshops/training, to hundreds of therapists setting up, and working in private practice. She was instrumental in the creation of the Private practice toolkit, at the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP). She acted as the Private Practice executive divisional lead on the project, and also contributed to a large number of both written and recorded, resources. It was an honour for her to be invited to present at the BACP AGM 2021, in recognition of this extensive work.
Caz believes in working for, and representing, the ‘therapist on the ground’, and is a relational activist and writer. She has hosted and facilitated, several high profile events for therapists, including, the #TherapistsConnect SCoPEd debates, National Counsellors’ Day 2020, PCCS Books Conference, and the last two BACP Student Conferences. She feels passionately about providing safe spaces for all human beings to be seen, included and respected.
The Therapy and Social Change (TaSC) Network is a broad affiliation of people interested in exploring the interface between therapeutic ideas and practices and social justice perspectives and actions. We are interested both in the ways that counselling and psychotherapy can be practiced with social justice concerns in mind (for instance, tackling unconscious biases in the consulting room), and also in the ways that therapeutic principles and practices can be extended out to the wider social realm (for instance, developing social and emotional literacy in schools).
