‘White counsellors don’t understand’: Why BME students don't get the help they need at uni. Barradale, G. September, 2019. Library Catalog: thetab.com Section: News
Paper abstract bibtex 'My counsellor wasn’t that understanding of my experience as a BAME person. So I just stopped going.' Sara* went to her uni for counselling after surviving a sexual assault. As a Muslim Pakistani, she felt the counsellors – all white – were out of touch with her experience and needs. “My counsellor just wasn’t that understanding of my experience as a BAME person. So I just stopped going,” Sara says. “If there was a BAME counsellor they would have been able to empathise with me and help a lot more,” Sara tells The Tab. “If someone from my culture had just sat me down and told me it was okay and not my fault it would have made me feel a lot less guilty overall”.
