Creative Consultation Group: Exploring Narrative Practice Through Artful Expression

• Share questions and reflections from our practice,
• Experiment with creative ways of working with narrative ideas,
• Engage imagination, metaphor, and material as tools for meaning-making,
• Co-create a supportive and collaborative space for growth.

Sarah Beth Hughes is a Couple and Family Therapist who lives among the mountains and lakes of British Columbia. Her journey into narrative therapy began in the 1990s, when she worked as the North American distributor of Dulwich Publications. This role offered her the rare opportunity to attend many of Michael White’s trainings—experiences that sparked a deep desire to step into the work herself.

Since then, Sarah Beth has cultivated a practice rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a love for the creative ways people make meaning in their lives. Alongside her work as a therapist, she is a supervisor and trainer of therapists, supporting others in discovering their own unique voice in the work. She also teaches writing classes that invite people to explore story as a site for reflection, imagination, and reclaiming authorship of their lives—on their own terms.

She is currently writing a book about tender and creative ways of engaging with narrative practice—an offering that draws on years of listening, learning, and wondering alongside others. At the heart of her work is a commitment to making space—for complexity, for beauty, and for people as the primary meaning-makers in their own lives.
