Narrative Practices Adelaide

NARRATIVE PRACTICES ADELAIDE is a small, independent centre which offers a range of counseling services to the community. Our counselors are highly qualified with specialist training in Narrative Therapy and Family Therapy. Shona Russell and Maggie Carey both have extensive experience in counseling and therapeutic services having worked as counselors since the mid 1990’s. Narrative Practices Adelaide has its history based in the ADELAIDE NARRATIVE THERAPY CENTRE (ANTC), the centre that Michael White established in January 2008, a few months before his sad and untimely death in April 2008. From its inception Maggie Carey and Rob Hall joined Michael in the formation and early development of ANTC. Shona Russell, a long term colleague and friend of Michael’s joined Maggie and Rob as an Associate of Narrative Practices Adelaide. Since the publication of Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends (Norton 1990) the founders of Narrative Therapy, Michael White (Adelaide) and David Epston (New Zealand) have continued to develop narrative approaches to counseling and community work. Shona and Maggie offer counselling with adults, children, young people, couples and families in response to: •anxiety •relational and family distress •sexual abuse •the effects of domestic violence, •grief, loss and trauma •depression and other mental health concerns •chronic illness •drug and alcohol •problem issues in childhood and adolescence. •work related difficulties
