Life Story Work for Adults

Life story work is an essential aspect of personal development that helps adults make sense of who they are, where they come from, and what has happened in their lives. This process can be particularly beneficial when you’ve faced challenges in relationships, parenting, or friendships, as it provides space to explore why certain patterns or difficulties might arise. The emphasis is on understanding your past, reflecting on your present, and contemplating your future.


The goal of these adult services is to foster a clearer and more accepting understanding of your life story—how your experiences have shaped you and how they may continue to affect your relationships with family, partners, friends, and others. Gaining this insight can be a powerful step toward developing a healthier sense of identity and moving forward in a more positive direction.

Timescales: Life story work is a progressive piece of work. It will always start with research and preparation work, then some time getting to know the person informally before delving into the actual work. For many people this is 8 - 10 sessions, but for others it can be much longer.
