There is an abundance of theoretical work on feminist therapy, however, there are very few studies of feminist therapists' practical experiences. The current study aims to explore feminist therapists' experience and practice around power in the counselling relationship. Participants were 8 women who self-define as feminist therapists, and who have at least 5 years of practice as a feminist therapist. Participants engaged in open-ended semi structured interviews, which were analyzed using pattern coding. The themes that emerged during analysis include; the therapist's description of theoretical principles that guide their practice, feminist therapy in practice, divergences in practice, and sources of struggle for therapists. Results indicate that there are gaps between the theory and the practice of feminist therapy, particularly around divergences in practice and the elements of practice which involved participants struggling with issues of power.
