13: Generational trauma and black identity

How can psychotherapists support organisations to reduce bias and promote a more diverse environment? 

Aileen began her career as a psychiatric and general nurse, moving into senior management within a psychotherapeutic resident community. Her mental health work led her to train as a counsellor. Her desire to continue learning more led her to psychotherapy and later a doctorate. 

Now working as a psychotherapist and supervisor, Aileen also offers consultancy to organisations and educational institutions wanting to address difficult and sensitive issues relating to race and cultural diversity in the workplace. 
  
In this podcast, Aileen sits down with Helen to talk about her psychotherapeutic career working with culture, generational trauma and black identity.
