Counselling as a profession has an unspoken and difficult relationship with issues of class and income, and discourse around a subject that affects one in five people in the UK remains uniquely undeveloped.

Colin Lago Temenos Conference 2011
Psychotherapy tends to consider itself discrete from the non-psychotherapy world. When we’re being psychotherapists and discussing psychotherapy we don’t also think about the gross domestic product of the country in which we’re working, labour relations or what’s on television.
We enjoyed interviewing Colin Lago about his new book “The Handbook of Transcultural Counselling and Psychotherapy”. This new book is a seminal work which brings together recent critical thinking and research and the exploration of the impact of different cultural heritages upon potential clients and therapists.
