Continued Professional Development Workshops
A Transcultural and Intersectional Ego State Model of the Self with Victoria Baskerville (She/her) TSTA
Saturday 7th September 11- 1.30pm
This workshop explores Victoria Baskerville's (2022) Transcultural and Intersectional Ego State Model, considering the influence of transculture and intersectional identity on self and other. The model considers the intersect and interplay between race, gender, and other
cultural selves, accounting for the complexity of cultural experience and narrative. Through enquiry of cultural selves and through mapping on an Ego State Model, we can develop more insight into intersectional identity, including how privilege and oppression is manifested in self and enacted in the world, how we may reflect on and locate cultural impasse, unconscious bias, generational oppression, white privilege, othering, and power dynamics.
Victoria will reflect on a dialogue with a colleague J, where both were called to name and account for their differences. In this dialogue cultural narrative was shared and unique differences and intersectional identities were mapped and discussed.
Participants will be invited to consider their transcultural experience and locate their intersectional identity, thus accounting for power dynamics.
Victoria Baskerville has been practicing as a Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist, supervisor, and trainer for over 20 years, based in multi-diverse East London.

Victoria recently completed a two year UKCP research project on Inclusivity and Exclusivity in counselling and psychotherapy training, published in the new psychotherapist and Transactional Analyst. She is on the editorial team of the Transactional analysts and authors 'Amplified Voices' each quarter.

Deconstruction of theory and practice through an intersectional lens with Victoria Baskerville (She/her) TSTA
Saturday 19th October 11-1.30pm
This workshop will bring alive Victoria’s recent article and thinking on inclusive theory and practice. ‘Historically counselling and psychotherapy and indeed transactional analysis has been influenced by western/northern hemisphere concepts and ideology. Thus, largely offering a White, individualistic, heteronormative, neurotypical, middle-class, and binary lens to theory, practice, and curriculums.
This article aims to offer a model to deconstruct and reconstruct, and begin to decolonise our theories and curriculums, thus facilitating the reconstruction of theories with an intersectional lens.’ This workshop will explore the ideas of deconstruction theory and thus the dismantling of social constructs, language, and meaning through a historical, social, cultural, and political lens.
A model will be offered to deconstruct and then reconstruct theory, aiming to invite representation of all Intersectional identities, thus accounting for power dynamics and furthering inclusive theory and practice.
