Over an accumulated 42 000 hours with clients across various backgrounds and a broad range of clinical areas, Kirsten has learnt how to create therapeutic change effectively. Kirsten has long observed that when clients come to sessions, she only gets to cover a sliver of what she could offer them to learn about themselves, their loved ones and their world.

SIGNPOSTS FOR LIVING was written to remedy this problem. Ten years in the thinking, 3 years in the writing, SIGNPOSTS FOR LIVING is finally ready. Kirsten welcomes the reader to get inside her head as a Psychologist as she covers the expanse of clinical areas.

It is a brave and scary thing to take responsibility for your life choices. Covering 205 areas that you need to know, Signposts for Living is your manual for being.

A series of 6 books.

About the Illustrator

Zach Lawry is an Australian artist whose work combines screen printed and stencil styling with digital and graphic design influences. He has a passion for colour and is fascinated by the possibilities of appropriation and recontextualization in works, and how images can be used as analogies to help understand complex ideas and topics.

He has exhibited in solo and group shows Australia-wide and internationally, with his most recent work a vehicle to process a culture of consumption. Zach’s personal works play with nostalgia and familiarity associated with this culture, and uses these images to subvert their original meanings and comment on the impact of their influence.

“I enjoy the challenge of taking on commissioned artworks, and seeing ideas from a new perspective.”
“It takes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to actively consider all the decisions I am making and to question where they are coming from. I use my creative works to explore ideas and gain deeper insights into my own perspectives. It is a way for me to create metaphors and analogies that help me better understand and process the world around me.”
