I am a social worker and a family therapist. My daily work is as a counsellor at a public Family Counselling Office where I practise a narrative approach to therapy. I completed the second International Post Graduate Course in Narrative Therapy at Dulwich Centre in 2005. I also do some teaching in narrative ways of thinking at different educational institutions and travel a lot throughout Norway to give supervision and counselling at different workplaces within the field of social work and family therapy. |

I have been practicing narrative therapy since 2005. I am working with children, teenagers and their parents with problems ranging from violence, drug- and alcohol-related problems, conflicts within the family, loneliness, trauma, self-criticism, etc. I am interested in everything that has to do with narrative practice, but am especially drawn to the definitional ceremony which I try to arrange as often as possible. I hope that linking with other practitioners I can meet people who by chance are in Norway, or who would like to come visit us here. Exchange of experiences would be very stimulating! Sharing some of our work would be good. Maybe we could come visit other practitioners abroad? |

Many human expressions linked to gender and/or sexuality are being diagnosed as mental disorders in the world of psychiatry. This negative labelling is of no use for the 'clients' involved. Sexuality is not a disease, it is a realm in which we can express ourselves in multitudes of ways. The diagnosing of expressions of gender and/or sexuality induce shame and pain and contributes to sustain bad therapeutic practices. Listening to the subjective narratives of the people we work with, renders them a field where their stories can grow positively and where they can be of much more help to others that may feel differently. There is a great need to take sexuality away from pathology and into the diversity of human expressions. We need a network of professionals who see human diversity this way and thus can contribute to better cultural understandings of these matters. This is one of my hopes for connection. |

I am a social worker and family therapist. I have had a strong personal and professional interest in narrative practice for the last 15 years. I have followed a lot of Michael White’s workshops and I completed the first International Post Graduate course last year. I practice narrative therapy and community work at an out patient family unit two days a week. The rest of the time I teach, supervise and consult with people about narrative practice all over Scandinavia. I have written a book about narrative therapy (1999), translated to Swedish and Danish. I am working with Dulwich Centre in organizing a Narrative therapy and community work conference in Norway in June 2007. |

I am a family therapist and teacher of social science seeking international partnerships to help create new arenas for narrative practices, such as schools, libraries and museums, alternative contexts where even the walls speak to us of history, art, music, and stories. Getting to know people crossing borders can be more about taking part in creating living history, and their stories can be co-created in a narrative tradition, in ways that make us stronger, help rebuild identities while at the same time broadening and enriching the identities of communities. |
