The final stage of Therapeutic Life Story Work focuses on the creation of the Life Story Book, which is constructed directly from the work undertaken during sessions. 

The 80 - 100 page book is presented in a ring binder, giving the child flexibility to keep pages together, remove and set aside pages they do not want others to see, and add to their story over time.

The child is supported to act as the “editor‑in‑chief”, actively involved in decisions about what is included and making choices around style, layout, and presentation. This promotes ownership, agency, and a sense of control over their own narrative. 

The book brings together factual information from therapeutic work completed in the sessions, including creative material, quotes from the child and reflections. With agreement from the child, copies can be shared with commissioning agencies, ensuring the Life Story Book is securely held and accessible in the future.
