Join us for an exploratory and interactive workshop critically examining the intersection of anarchist thought and psychotherapy. Designed to spark discussion and challenge assumptions, this session invites counsellors and therapists to rethink the ethical, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of their practice. Through collaborative dialogue and guided reflection, we will cross-examine core anarchist principles—autonomy, decentralisation, and mutual aid, against dominant assumptions in psychotherapy, including its views on the human condition, ethics, and relational power. This is an opportunity to critically examine authority in therapy, question traditional frameworks, and explore new ways of fostering collaborative, non-hierarchical therapeutic relationships. Who is this for ? Counsellors, therapists, and trainees curious about rethinking power, ethics, and authority in their practice. Why attend ? Engage in critical discussion, challenge taken-for-granted assumptions, and explore alternative ways of conceptualizing mental health and care. Takeaway : Gain fresh philosophical insights and practical strategies for reimagining therapy as a site of collaboration, autonomy, and resistance. Register now to be part of this dynamic and challenging conversation!
