About the Course
This course for counsellors explores the concept of intersectionality and its critical role in understanding clients' lived experiences. Participants will learn how overlapping identities—such as race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability—shape the ways individuals experience oppression and privilege. Through reflective practice, case studies, and applied strategies, counsellors will gain the tools to create more inclusive, empathetic, and effective therapeutic relationships.
