Make sense. Find meaning. Go your own way.
Less Linear is a philosophy grounded in psychology: making sense of lives that don't follow the expected path, and changing the social and cultural stories that shape them.
It recognises that our lives are shaped by complexity, difference, difficulty and depth. Conventional, linear models of success, healing and change often leave too much of that out.
Less Linear offers a different way: making sense of our experiences, finding meaning in them, and questioning the wider stories that shape what we believe is possible - for ourselves and for society.
It's the work of Dr Lizz Lewis, a psychologist, psychotherapist and writer. Through therapy, writing and social change work, I help women navigate change and organisations rethink complex issues, particularly around mental health, stigma and culture.
My work
This philosophy runs through three connected strands of my work: making sense of our experiences, questioning the stories we inherit, and opening up possibilities for change.
