People seeking relationship therapy must be careful about whom they choose to entrust their relationship life to. All couple therapists are not equal, and many are under trained and inexperienced to work with the complexities of modern couple relationships – regardless of how they may advertise themselves. Who you choose for counselling (or for your individual therapy), might possibly be one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. Dr Madigan invites you to choose carefully.

Stephen Madigan is not only an incredibly talented therapist and excellent workshop presenter (who has trained thousands of therapists internationally in the ways of narrative therapy), he is also a person of integrity who acts in congruence with the ideals he teaches. I speak from personal experience when I say that Stephen often takes the high and difficult ground of questioning the taken for granted actions and theories of mental health while others simply watched. I highly encourage you to go see this great Canadian thinker.Barry Duncan, PhD , Miami, Florida. Co-director, Institute for the Study of Therapeutic Change.

It is something of a blessing to teach workshops after him as you are always so welcomed. This has something to do with his infectious charm, complete theoretical knowledge, wonderfully creative therapeutic practice and his relentless energy. You must go see him!David Epston, MA, Auckland, New Zealand, Co-author of Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends and Biting the Hand that Starves You.
