Introduction

During the course of our lives we face many transitions, not only physically but also in our relationships, families and careers. In the process we are confronted with losses, perhaps when someone dies or leaves us, when we lose a job, or move homes or countries, when hopes and dreams are destroyed, someone disappoints or betrays us or we become ill. Often, with the help of the people around us, we are able to deal with such difficult times. Sometimes, however, they present in such an overwhelming manner that we cannot find a way forward.

In these situations it can be helpful to meet with a counsellor to explore alternative ways forward in accordance with one's values and dreams and commitments in life.

The narrative approach is based on the idea that we make meaning of our lives throught the stories (narratives) we hold about ourselves, about others and life in general. Sometimes, during troubled and difficult times, problems seem to dominate and our usually helpful stories are unavailable. When someone consults me then, I offer to work together with them to create alternative, empowering and sustaining stories which make it possible for that person to live a life which is meaningful and hopeful to them.

For over 10 years I've had the opportunity of working with people in various countries and with a range of  problems, often to do with loss and grief and meaning seeking. I now offer consultations in Athens in English, German and Spanish.
