Poh Lin Lee
With a spirit of refusing to adhere to insular and segregated fields of practice I continually seek to cross borders to bring together a thoughtful and intricate practice based on my experience and knowledge as a narrative therapist, co-researcher of trauma, writer, teacher, film protagonist and creative consultant.
I started out as an Australian social worker who has spent the last 14 yrs developing and engaged in therapeutic alliances and conversations with people across a number of countries and contexts (Australia, Mongolia, Benin, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Palestine, Turkey, Ukraine Germany, Belgium, Greece, UK, Spain) including providing torture and trauma counselling on Christmas Island and continuing to work alongside people seeking asylum through a film project with Gabrielle Brady, Island of the Hungry Ghosts (feature) and The Island (short).
For over 6 years I've been developing narrative practice consultations and workshops for filmmakers and creatives to assist in project development, ethical explorations and disrupting the expected for people to unearth the possible. I currently offer workshops at Kunsthochschule für Medien (Academy of Media Arts), Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, Dokomotive, Germany and more to be announced soon!
My Qualifications
I received my Bachelor in Social Work from Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia and my Masters with Honours in Narrative Therapy and Community Work from the University of Melbourne. I am a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers and a teacher for the International teaching faculty of Dulwich Centre. I am an honorary clinical fellow of the school of social work, University of Melbourne and have been a tutor in the Masters course, Narrative Therapy and Community Work, for the past 6 years. I am practicing as a freelancer psychopraticienne (French term) or Narrative Practice Consultant (English term) - online and face-to-face in multiple countries and contexts.
