Narrative Therapy
What is Narrative Therapy ?
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps you explore the stories you tell yourself about your life and identity. It focuses on separating you from your problems, giving you the space to view them objectively and challenge limiting beliefs.
This form of therapy encourages self-empowerment by identifying the dominant narratives that may be holding you back. By rewriting these stories, you can shift negative self-perceptions, recognize your strengths, and navigate challenges related to anxiety, trauma, depression, or self-esteem.

Frequently Asked Questions About Narrative Therapy Therapy
How does Narrative Therapy work in therapy?
Narrative Therapy helps you “externalize” your problems, meaning you learn to see them as issues you experience rather than defining aspects of your identity. Together with your therapist, you’ll examine the dominant stories influencing your self-view, deconstruct limiting narratives, and create alternative stories that reflect resilience, growth, and possibility.
What types of issues can Narrative Therapy help with?
Narrative Therapy is beneficial for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, grief, and relationship issues. It’s particularly helpful for those who feel stuck in negative patterns or beliefs stemming from past experiences.
How is Narrative Therapy different from other therapies?
Unlike therapies that primarily focus on changing behaviors or thoughts, Narrative Therapy centers on reshaping the meaning you attach to life experiences. Instead of focusing solely on “fixing” problems, it helps you redefine your personal story to see yourself as resilient and capable of change.
How soon can I start therapy using Narrative Therapy?
You can begin therapy often within 48–72 hours after being matched with a licensed therapist trained in Narrative Therapy.
