Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy is a respectful and empowering approach to counselling that centers on the stories we tell about our lives. These stories shape our identity and influence how we see the world and ourselves.

‍

Understanding Narrative Therapy: In this therapy, you and your therapist collaborate to examine and reshape your life's narrative. The process begins by recognizing that problems are separate from your identity, removing the stigma of something being "wrong" with you. Instead, challenges are viewed as external issues, allowing you to address them without personal blame.

‍

Process and Benefits:

• Externalization: You'll learn to see problems as distinct from yourself, which helps in tackling them more objectively.
• Deconstruction: Together, you'll break down negative or unhelpful thoughts that cloud your story.
• Reauthoring: You reframe and rewrite your narrative, focusing on strengths and abilities that perhaps went unrecognized.
• Unique Outcomes: By identifying exceptions to your usual story—times when you overcame difficulties or didn't feel stuck—you reclaim power over your circumstances.

‍

Narrative Therapy is particularly effective for those who feel overwhelmed by their life's story or trapped in a negative self-image. It offers a way to rewrite your story, uncover hidden strengths, and view life from a new, more empowering perspective.
