Bonnie Miller has been teaching at the Hincks-Dellcrest Center, Gail Appel Institute since 2010, facilitating day-long and year-long training for new and experienced practitioners. In her role as lead instructor for the Advanced Narrative Extern program from 2010-2015, she honed her skills as a supervisor and as a collaborator with students. She is known for her clarity in explaining complex ideas, and her ability to translate these ideas into practicable skills. She constantly modifies her teaching practice, as she responds to training participants, clients and inspired teachers in the field.
She has a busy private practice, where she specializes in working with people influenced by anger, family conflict, depression and anxiety. Bonnie helps people with issues related to grief, loss and serious health concerns, the impact and meaning of growing older, concerns related to couple conflict, parenting and family change. She has worked with youth in the community, with volunteers and staff as a manager and program developer, and with children, youth and adults affected by domestic violence.
Bonnie has been practising in the field since 1990 and has grounded her work in post-structural and narrative therapy practices since 2002. She has presented at conferences across Canada and in the U.S., and values the important intersections between clinical work, reflective practices and the rich opportunities for mutual influence in teaching and training.
