Decolonising Therapy: Practical Skills to Navigate a Paradigm Shift
Dr Averil Cook’s address at the AAPi Conference 2025 examines human rights work and decolonising therapy as embedded in the new Code of Conduct and Psychologist Competencies. Suitable for psychologists, leaders of psychology services and organisations and mental health leaders, Averil provides a Model of Critical Praxis for Therapists that helps identify specific gaps and direction for learning as it relates to personal and professional skills, theoretical understanding, positioning and self-reflexivity and highlights the deep work that is required to genuinely engage in decolonised and anti-oppressive practices. Additionally, this talk maps the Code of Conduct and Competencies onto the human rights changes that need to be made in practice and provides further resources for learning and development.
