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 film/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 accompanying people in their practice(s)/projects/processes  and regularly tutoring, teaching and offering experiential workshops across therapeutic, creative and academic fields.
