Non-Linear Counselling: Techniques Supporting Evidence-based Practices for Indigenous Children
Abstract
As many indigenous children present for counselling and psychotherapy to non-indigenous practitioners it is incumbent on us to integrate the knowledge shared with me by my local elders and through indigenous wisdom along with current evidence based techniques to create a more appropriate and engaging counselling method.
Using non-liner counselling with tangible objects to improve the interactions with the land and with the young person's own storyline we are able to strengthen the wellbeing of our young people using their cultural connections.
Engaging young people more in the process of counselling I hope that I am enabling them to better process their feelings and thoughts. Improved wellbeing will help with improved capacity to learn, connect and thrive "closing the gap" further.
