Abstract
AbstractAimsThe aim of this study was to offer a view of how, as a counselling practitioner‐researcher, I use my personal experiences reflexively in research. By ‘showing’ and ‘telling’ about the practices and processes involved, I hope to encourage others to undertake research that values reflexive collaborative engagement and enables participants’ agency in research.MethodsI address the value of critical reflexivity as a means for including ourselves and our personal experiences in counselling and psychotherapy research. Three excerpts are offered as examples of (a) reflexively contextualising ourselves and our participants, (b) reflexively co‐constructing knowledge and meaning making and (c) a critically reflexive approach to addressing issues of voice in research by highlighting a potential dilemma about choosing which stories should be told.
