Dr Dwight Turner
Counselling and psychotherapy
There are many things which might make us feel we are not living life to the full. Challenging life problems, addictive practices, the loss of someone close to us or just plain old feeling down.
Through my counselling and psychotherapy work, I help people deal with these issues and find their own way forward.
It’s time for you to start living life to the full again.
Therapy
Move ahead with your life
Therapy helps people to address conscious and unconscious issues, enabling them to find a path to move ahead with their lives, positively and confidently.
I use a range of integrative counselling and psychotherapy techniques, tailored to suit the unique needs of each client.

The Psychology of Supremacy
by Dr Dwight Turner
The Psychology of Supremacy presents philosophical ideas as to just how and why supremacy exists, both overtly and in its more subtle versions, some of the psychology behind supremacy and also how it impacts upon our clients and our training courses within counselling and psychotherapy.
For therapists
Supervisory services and workshops
I provide supervisory services to fellow counsellors and psychotherapists, supporting day to day work and helping to develop careers.
As well as my role as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Brighton, I am also available to run workshops for organisations and groups. These focus on aspects of privilege, otherness, equality, diversity and intersectionality.
The latest from my blog
Existential Intersections on Death
This month’s blog is the first of a series of explorations on existential themes through an intersectional lens. An opening gambit, this consideration of the theme of death, raises some interesting ideas as to how death appears for the Other
Decolonise This X: The WhiteLash Summer of 2024
What sort of summer have you had? For minorities, this last summer has been particularly challenging. This blog speaks to some of these challenges, and asks the reader to weigh up how much ‘rest’ they have had during this period.
Election Day 2024
These past 24hours have seen a seismic shift in the political landscape here in the United Kingdom. Written over this period, I therefore wanted to add some personal psychological perspectives on the meaning of this political change. Whilst sounding a note of caution for the future.
The Politics of Supremacy: Feeling the Fourteen
On the 4th of July 2024, the United Kingdom goes to the polls in its General Election. This blog though, looks at the past 14 years through the lens of race, and asks us all to consider the pain we have endured during this period.
Decolonise This IX: The Existential Loneliness of the Other
In a world which valorises individuality, loneliness is an experience many of us have endured, be it on purpose or as a consequence of something other.
Written over two days in May, this month I consider the existential and spiritual segue between loneliness and being alone.
Decolonise This VIII: Reawakening Black Power
I have been thinking a lot about power recently, and in particular power through a racialised lens. What is power as a Person of Colour, how has it been corrupted/stolen, and how can we recover our power.
