Testimonials – 2019

The workshop was helpful in helping my understanding of narrative practice in action. Instructors provided lots of related, clinical examples and exercises/demonstrations to facilitate understanding of narrative therapy and accommodating different learning styles. – D. Pan, Counsellor, Iowa, USA

Coming from a place of knowing some narrative therapy prior to this training, I now feel much more deeply immersed in the knowledge and skills needed to help weave this into my work with my clients. – Tiffany Merritt, Art Therapist, Toronto

I’m so appreciative to be trained by those so passionate about narrative therapy. It is an ongoing learning and the passion is contagious. I want to be a contributor to my field (social work) and narrative therapy has much to offer. – Sean Ally, Social Worker, Toronto, ON

This training has dramatically changed my practice for the better. I am much more cognizant of the relations of power within the therapeutic context and the larger mental health systems. I was aware of it before, but the awareness has been thickened for me. Thank you! – Meredith Watkins, Child Youth Mental Health Clinician, B.C

We engaged in learning in multiple different styles to accommodate everyone’s needs. Practicing exercises, watching videos of real sessions, engaging in group conversations, were all ways in which the knowledge presented to us was solidified for future use and practice. – Jennifer Trewin, New Counsellor, Whitby, ON

I enjoyed the course very much, and I can reflect back on the material when working with my clients. – Kathryn Thompson, Psychotherapist, Kingston, ON

This Narrative Therapy training has been such a rich experience for me. I have learned skills and techniques I will be able to immediately put into practice in my psychotherapy work, but more than that, I have discovered a way of working that fits with my beliefs and highest values. The wonderful teachers modeled a beautiful and deeply respectful way of being with the people with whom we work. I believe all the relationships in my life will be transformed by this experience. I so look forward to attending the Level 2 training next year! – Julia Donovan
