Many problems clients present to counsellors can be represented as situated concerns to be reflected upon and addressed collaboratively. We find situational analysis (SA) mapping procedures useful for joining clients in ‘zooming out and in’ to critically reflect upon the situated concerns clients present and for generating possible ways to address these concerns. We provide rationale and propose use of SA mapping procedures for critically reflective and transformative practice. Using an amalgamated case example, we show how SA maps can be used to assess clinical concerns pertaining to ‘addictive behaviours’ and invite new thinking and dialogue.
