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.
Intersections of Privilege and Otherness in Counselling and Psychotherapy
by Dr Dwight Turner
Intersections of Privilege and Otherness in Counselling and Psychotherapy presents an in-depth understanding of the role of privilege, and of the unconscious experience of privilege and difference within the world of counselling and psychotherapy.
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
Decolonise This XI: The Colonisation of Soul Food
In conjunction with the latest book, it is worth considering the many diverse ways we are colonised. One of the more obvious, yet subtle, ways is with food. This month’s brief blog asks us to all consider this relationship to food.
Fascism Rising: Invisiblising the Other
Well. It’s here. Fascism is alive and well in the Global North. And we have welcomed it into our world again. This month’s blog asks us to face up to our own responsibilities for its rise, and questions what we might do to counter it.
Hope
These are dark times culturally.
I feel as it would be an avoidance to not acknowledge this. Times which might feel distressing to many, including myself.
So, this month’s blog asks the question; is there hope? And if so, where is it?
The Dark Knight Rises: Black Existential Anxiety in the age of Trump
trump will be president again. Yet the repercussions for persons of difference will not just be felt in the USA, but also across the world. Using a black existential focus, this blog is therefore a message for all the artists. It is a call to arms!
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.
