Reflective Practice: International and Multidisciplinary Perspectives, 15(3), pp. 363-377.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/9314This paper examines the space between familiar and new storying of professional identity in the author’s migration from counsellor/psychologist to lecturer/researcher. Value is given to reflecting on the complexities and multiplicities which exist in this in-between space, particularly at points of difference and discomfort. Reflective practices of writing as inquiry and autoethnography are used to examine this migration of professional identity and are suggested as useful processes for undertaking socially responsive research. In this context, writing as inquiry and subsequent meaning-making/deconstruction leads me to places not yet known, and gives per(form)ance to the complex and multiple possibilities that open up in this process. The benefit of autoethnographic writing and meaning-making as a pre-cursor to participant-observation research is also discussed.enprofessional identity/subjectivitynarrative turncounsellor educationwriting as inquiryreflective practiceautoethnographyJournal ArticleField of Research::13 - Education::1399 - Other Education::139999 - Education not elsewhere classifiedField of Research::17 - Psychology and Cognitive Sciences::1701 - Psychology::170106 - Health, Clinical and Counselling Psychologyhttps://doi.org/10.1080/14623943.2014.900013
