Abstract

Introduction: As authors, we co‐facilitate a teaching session on anti‐racism as part of a module on ethical and cultural issues on an MA in counselling and psychotherapy in the North of England to a cohort of between 14 and 24 students. We have been ongoingly evaluating and conducting research with the student groups involved to try and improve the teaching session. Methodology: This article reports on our duoethnographic approach to consider our learning from our pedagogical experience. Findings: Themes emerged from our conversations using Colaizzi's phenomenological method which were: defences, pedagogies of discomfort, the work, and transformation. We also present an exhaustive description of the anti‐racist work involved. Discussion and Recommendations: We draw out implications and recommendations for an anti‐racist pedagogy in counselling education, focusing on each of our responsibility to undertake the deep self‐examination and listening to others that this requires.
