Thoughtful Therapists: Parents and professionals at risk of prosecution under the Conversion Practices Bill

Peter Jenkins and Tish Naughton in conversation with Alison Jenner

Peter Jenkins, counsellor, supervisor, trainer and researcher in the UK. He has been a member of both the BACP Professional Conduct Committee and the UKCP Ethics Committee. He has published a number of books on legal aspects of therapy, including ‘Professional Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy: Ethics and the Law’ (Sage, 2017).

Peter is also a member of Thoughtful Therapists. His critique of the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy was described as ‘instrumental’ in persuading the UKCP Board of the case for leaving the MOU in 2024
