The Sino-British programme: reflections on developing a psychotherapy programme for Chinese participants working with children and adolescents

Abstract

This article will offer a perspective on collaborating in designing and delivering the Sino-British programme; a three-year training postgraduate programme for Chinese participants working as counsellors and psychotherapists with children and adolescents. The perspective is by an English teacher and co-organiser with her Chinese colleague Dr Wang Qian. The many vicissitudes described; both challenges and moving surprises, are the author’s own views but I have also drawn on contributions made by several of the English teachers who have contributed to the programme.
