Narrative Therapy — Reclaiming the Author’s Seat

OUR APPROACHES

For when your story has been written by expectations, not by you.

What It Is:

Narrative Therapy helps you step back and see your life as a story — one you can edit, reclaim, and retell in your own words. It separates you from the problems you face, so you can see your strength and agency more clearly.

Best for:

Self-Discovery · trauma . Identity · Shame · Life Transitions

You’ll work with your therapist to identify the “dominant stories” shaping your life (like “I’m not enough” or “I always have to be the strong one”) — and create new, more empowering ones that reflect who you truly are.
