counsellor educator. Her specialism is applications of mental imagery.

She is the author of two Routledge publications: Using Mental Imagery in

Counselling and Psychotherapy (2015) and Using Mental Imagery to

Enhance Creative and Work-Related Processes (2019). She co-founded and

currently runs Critical Therapy Antidote, an international platform for

academics and therapists who are concerned with the encroachments of

Critical Social Justice into the therapy professions. She is the editor

of a recent anthology of essays titled Cynical Therapies: Perspectives

on the Antitherapeutic Nature of Critical Social Justice.

I was delighted to talk with Val, and am immensely grateful to her, as

she has been a source of inspiration and hope to me through her writing

and her work in developing the CTA network.
