bricolage consulting
I see individual growth and development as being both fragmented and
interlinked. By applying the concept of bricolage, a term used in anthropology
meaning taking things which are available to create something new within a
cultural context, I aim to co-create a safe space for individuals to explore
this fragmentation. I would support and encourage individuals to see themselves
and life more holistically. Training, supervision and therapy is available in
person, online or through blended online therapy with face to face therapy.
Therapy can be short term or open-ended. I find open-ended work most effective
and satisfying. We usually meet weekly at a regular time, as this tends to be
the best way of being able to support the work. I offer daytime and evening
therapy and supervision sessions.. Initially I suggest we meet for
an exploratory session, to give us both the chance to find out whether we
feel we can work well together. As well as exploring what has brought you to
therapy, we will discuss confidentiality, privacy of information, cancellations,
holidays, reviews of the work and payment arrangements. If you decide to work
with me, we will discuss and sign a written contract together, including privacy
and data protection aspects, then review our work regularly thereafter. Salma
Siddique, PhD, FHEA, FRSA, FRAI is an academic and clinical (psychotherapist)
anthropologist based in Scotland. She obtained her doctorate in anthropology
from the University of St. Andrews and later qualified as a UKCP registered
psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. Research areas Her main research
teaching is based on the dialogue between psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and
anthropology. This is influenced by her clinical experience working with people
in trauma resulting from oppression, abuse, torture, fleeing disaster and
conflict zones. Salma actively encourages engagement in research based on the
philosophy of indigenous epistemologies. Child observation is at the heart of
training and enhancing on-going practice-based evidence. Emerging research
practitioners will gain a greater understanding in the application of
self-analysis to the research. They will apply a diversity of methods such as
psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and (auto)ethnography when considering
intersubjectivity and its experience of the 'other' within their own
configurations of meanings She is a contributor to research writing as a
clinical anthropologist. Her work and practice engage with the tension between
collective guilt and personal responsibility examined from the witnessing of
identity and belonging through displaced lives, racism and systemic oppression.
