I work alongside people in discussing the destinations that become possible in their lives due to rich story development. I love working with all persons, but if I were asked about a particular interest I would say that I enjoy working with teenagers and women. In my last few years of narrative practice I have enjoyed rich conversations about race and cultural identity and would love to engage in future conversations and explorations with other narrative practitioners. |

I have been involved with narrative practice and thought formally and informally since the early 1990's and have taken part in many trainings, most recently through the Dulwich Centre Post Graduate Program. I really enjoy the practice particularly as it pertains to children and young people and would enjoy conversations with others about this. |

I have been practising from a primarily narrative perspective for about 18 years and have written and presented widely in this area as an academic as well as offering trainings through the Glebe Institute, of which I am director. My interest in linking with other narrative practitioners includes the possibility of referring to therapists elsewhere, or receiving referrals here, but just as much to connecting with a global community for the possibility of sharing ideas and practices in a variety of contexts. |

Narrative practices have informed my work in the area of responding to violence in the lives of men and women for many years. Currently I teach full-time in a Social Work programme where I am introducing more narrative ideas. I am interested in conversations with people about how to be congruent with narrative ideas in the area of teaching. I also provide consultation in a small practice where I see individuals and couples. |

My work in narrative therapy often concerns couples, gay or bisexual issues, and divorce or family mediation. I invite others with any of these interests to share our different knowledges. |

Narrative ideas have brought coherency to my work both as a therapist and as a social justice activist. I have felt particularly enriched and encouraged by the practice of narrative group therapy which provides the inspiration for often isolated and marginalized individuals to seek out and create multiple communities of support. I have also run in both provincial and federal elections in support of the social justice issues which continuously emerge in my work as a therapist. |

I seek to use narrative practices in my clinical work. I also seek to teach narrative therapy in the counselling training program that I direct. I'm especially interested in the challenges of modelling narrative practices in the teaching domain, and in finding ways of privileging students' knowledges in their training process. |
