Poh Lin Lee
Poh is a Chinese Malaysian Australian woman who comes to practice from multiple locations - narrative therapy practitioner, social worker, co-researcher of trauma/displacement, writer, teacher, film protagonist and creative consultant.
For 20 years Poh has been engaged in co-research with people and communities responding to themes of experience such as family and state violence, displacement (from rights, land, home, body, identity, relationships), liminality and reclaiming practices of staying with experience and preference. Creative and therapeutic fields intersected for Poh whilst working with people seeking asylum within a film project with director Gabrielle Brady, Island of the Hungry Ghosts (2018).
Poh is currently a freelancer creating crafted exercises and content to accompany people in their practice(s)/projects/processes on Patreon alongside regularly tutoring, teaching and offering experiential workshops across therapeutic, creative and academic fields.

The first ever narrative practice and film workshop was held in our backyard and attended by 4 fabulous film maker friends. Since then it has grown in beautiful home grown ways, shared from one to another. This has meant, every time I meet someone new, there are prior and often multiple relationships that surround us. This has offered a community of care around practice that has held the spirit of co-design and collaboration. I come to this Patreon project to continue in this way. Come along if you'd like to experience some crafted questions, exercises & fragments to accompany you in your practice...however you define it.
