Extremists usually have extreme views because they do not have the opportunity to understand the other sides’ arguments.

She teaches on the one-week Introduction to Counselling Skills course and the one-year Foundation course at the Minster Centre in north London. ‘At the Minster, we continually have these conversations about how to thread more diversity into the curriculum. It is an evolving project, there can’t be an end point, but this is where it starts, with these conversations about what works, what doesn’t and how we can do it differently and better.’
