I am undertaking research into therapists' experience of their menstrual cycle, in particular in relation to their work with clients who also experience a menstrual cycle, and am looking to interview therapists about their experience.
The research will be conducted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and forms the basis of my dissertation for the MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling at the Minster Centre.
The study has been approved by The Minster Centre Ethics Committee.
Participant criteria:
- You are a BACP or UKCP-registered counsellor or psychotherapist
- You experience a menstrual cycle
- You are not pregnant, menopausal, or taking hormonal contraception
- You have experience working with clients who also experience a menstrual cycle
- You are willing to talk openly in a confidential interview
What does it involve?
Taking part in a 60-to-90-minute recorded interview in-person or via Zoom about your experiences
