Maggie Carey has been Co-director of Narrative Practices Adelaide since 2008 and practicing the Narrative approach since the early 1990’s. She has taught Narrative Therapy in many local and international contexts and while no longer officially teaching, she maintains her enjoyment in the opportunity to share both the theoretical principles of the approach and the detailed practices that come from the philosophical underpinnings. 

Throughout her work, Maggie has always maintained a focus on how to keep an appreciation of the social and political context of people’s lives in the forefront. Her therapeutic work has included responding to grief, loss and trauma, working with people who live with mental health issues or homelessness, or disability and responding to women and children who have been subjected to violence and abuse. 

Maggie’s connection with Ummeed can be traced back to 2006 when she was first introduced to the vibrant therapeutic community of Mumbai and she has returned many times.
