Challenging Racism in Psychotherapy Training
BARAC UK is supporting a campaign and legal challenge by former employees of Metanoia Institute.
Dr Eiman Hussein, Dr Maya Mukamel, Dr Malgorzata Milewicz, Dr Jane Hunt, and Cathy Lasher have brought claims of constructive dismissal, whistleblowing, and victimisation to the Employment Tribunal.
These five psychological therapists, researchers, and trainers raised serious concerns about racial dynamics and harmful practices affecting both students and staff of colour during their time at Metanoia. Despite their efforts to address these issues internally, they were met with disappointing and dismissive responses, leading to what they describe as an untenable working environment.
Their ongoing legal action seeks not only accountability but also lasting structural change within psychotherapy training.
More details here via their trade union, Psychotherapy and Counselling Union (PCU).
The group of Claimants have a crowdfunder to raise funds needed for their legal fees. Please donate if you can or share.
