A Therapy of Literary Merit
Two approaches in the soul of my practice to serve you.
In my role as a narrative therapist, I am a counselling practitioner. In my role as an autoethnographer, I am a qualitative researcher.
Together these two disciplines harness the power of story in the art of living life.
As an autoethnographer, I think with my story when I am fulfilling my role as narrative therapist. The deeper I have explored my own life, the greater capacity I have to walk with you in yours. Together, the world becomes larger. We generate maps of knowing. We take wisdom further. And realize the wonder of it all!
Autoethnography
An artful approach to personal growth.
I never intended to become a therapist. I only wanted to write and understand my own life.
Autoethnography turned out to be my apprenticeship for becoming a narrative therapist and author. Through the living, writing, and telling of my own story I acquired skilled vision and embodied knowledge in service to others.
The process of writing autoethnography is an investigation into lived history and a translation of experience into the truth one is ready to confirm, hold, and share for the purpose of evolving the whole human endeavour.
Ultimately, human beings can reach the capacity to be present NOW and it is from NOW that a new past is generated. For in truth, the past doesn't create the future; the present creates the past.
Truth is timeless. And story can be the vehicle for truth.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy invites you on a journey to resurrect the stories that shape your life. It views problems and predicaments as opportunities for growth, allowing you to reauthor your narrative to reflect your values, skills, and dreams. Through this dynamic co-creative process, you may discover new possibilities, leading to a deeper understanding of who you are as you anchor a more fulfilling life path.
What story is living you?
