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 Binstead is an experienced private practitioner, supervisor, and facilitator/visiting lecturer. Specialising in the growth and maintenance of ethical and thriving practice, she was instrumental in the creation of the Private practice toolkit at the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and acted as divisional lead on the project. Caz is co-lead of the community platform #TherapistsConnect, and was creative director on their two-day conference, ‘Private practice 2021: surviving and thriving in uncertain times’. Through her extensive work in this area, Caz has helped hundreds of therapists with their private practices.
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).
