Find a Narrative Therapist

Narrative therapy is based on the idea that we make sense of our lives through stories. Sometimes the stories we've absorbed about ourselves — often from others or from difficult experiences — don't reflect who we truly are. Narrative therapy helps you re-author your story and separate your identity from your problems.

What Narrative Therapy can help with

  • Identity and self-worth
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Eating difficulties
  • LGBTQ+ identity
  • Cultural and family pressures

What to expect

Narrative therapy sessions are collaborative and respectful. You are seen as the expert on your own life. Your therapist will use techniques like "externalising" problems (treating the problem as separate from you) and discovering "unique outcomes" — moments that contradict the problem story.
