The meMap format revolves around 2 maps. The first attempts to bring to life where
your client wants to be, and what does, did, or could, work for them or allow them to flourish. A second map
is designed to examine any issues or difficult terrain which stands in the way of the client getting to that
place they wish to be. As such, meMap offers a very focussed way for you to elicit the key elements of your
client's 'story', allow them to engage at any convenient moment with concepts you feel will help, reflect
and summarise what you feel the client has conveyed, develop a shared document of the key parts of your work
together, and maintain meaningful remote contact when person to person sessions are not possible (or
affordable.) Distilling this key info into the mobile device that is its owner's most constant companion is
also an ideal way for them to maintain continuous dialogue with any coaching, CBT or CAT style initiative.
meMap offers tools to encourage the user to develop strategies for their issues and create a
direction of travel from their difficult stuff to their 'best' stuff. As the practitioner you may wish to
encourage your client to utilise these tools - or simply use meMap as a means to record, clarify,
communicate, and bring into engaging multimedia colour, the things clients want and the issues they hope to
resolve.
The 'For practitioners' pages of this website explain how to populate clients' Apps with thinking,
subject areas and concepts you feel will be useful. Possibilities for working with couples, facilitating
remote peer to peer support, or offering workshop takeaways are also highlighted.
