Nicola Blunden

Nicola Blunden is a therapist, trainer, and writer with special interests in creative methods, plural identity, and collaborative ethics. She was previously Director of Studies for the person-centred pluralistic training at Metanoia Institute, London, and later led the counselling and psychotherapy master's programme at UWE Bristol. She is now the Deputy Head of Professional Standards at BACP. Nicola believes therapy should be a force for emancipation - and not just for individuals, but for society as a whole. Her research challenges the idea that colonial theories of therapy can ever be neutral or universally relevant.
