One day introduction to Narrative-based Life Story Work
Dear colleagues,
There are still a few places left on the Narrative-Based Life Story Work course.
The deadline for applications is 3rd August, so if you were thinking of applying, now’s the time to get your skates on!
Friday 5th September 2025
BPS Offices, London
9:30 AM – 4:00 PM
This in-person training blends Narrative Psychology theory with hands-on exploration of narrative-based methodologies. While rooted in life story work, these approaches are also widely applicable across work with young people more broadly.
We’ll cover:
- The Tree of Life
- The Team of Life
- Outsider Witness Practice
- Plus a range of other creative tools to support meaningful conversations with young people.
A few quotes from participants…
‘Incredibly useful and motivating!’
‘A very empowering approach. The possibility of changing the dominant story the child is telling themselves and how important it is for them to make sense of their lives.’
‘I appreciated the process and I really like the creative ideas that support this. I will be adding these to my toolbox. Thank you’
This short YouTube clip gives more details about the course.
A free copy of my book, ‘A session by session guide to life story work’ comes as part of the course, as well as lunch and refreshments throughout the day.
