Working within diversity: An anti-oppressive model for therapeutic practice

This keynote will introduce you to the Working Within Diversity model of anti-oppressive practice. A model which has evolved from Myira’s extensive clinical experience as a Counsellor, Supervisor and Tutor/Trainer in delivering anti-oppressive practice in her own work. This presentation will focus on the pivot towards anti-oppressive practice, what the commitments are to anti-oppressive practice and why we need to be consciously working ‘within’ diversity and not ‘with’ diversity. You will be introduced to the Working Within Diversity 5-component model, key principles of anti-oppressive practice, the importance of advancing from cultural ‘competence’ based practice into developing and building cultural attunement in our practice and how we can utilise this model in our therapeutic and supervision work as EMDR practitioners to further support our diverse clients and communities.
