Narrative Therapy

“The person is not the problem.
The problem is the problem”
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy is a non-pathologising, non-blaming therapeutic practice rooted in social constructionism.
Narrative Therapy conversations enable people to become more acquainted with their skills for living and wisdom.
It helps people move towards their preferred way of being and living.
Narrative Therapy is useful for individuals with a wide range of issues affecting their lives, including challenges with communication, performance, physical or emotional well-being, relationships and professional issues.
What to expect in Narrative Therapy Conversations
Collaboratively explore how the problem ‘operates’ and impacts on your life.
Identify what you value, and consider precious about how you wish to live your life
Explore ways for the problem to have less influence on your life.
Connect you to ideas, skills and knowledge that fit better with your preferred identity and hopes for your life.
Link lives – Problems can work to separate people from one another. Narrative Therapy conversations emphasise rebuilding networks and relationships
