Narrative Therapy

The stories we tell ourselves shape the lives we live.

Every person carries stories about who they are, what they've experienced, and what is possible for their future.

Sometimes these stories empower us.

Sometimes they quietly limit us.

Narrative Therapy invites us to step back from problems, explore the experiences that have shaped us, and discover new perspectives that allow us to move forward with greater freedom and intention.

Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?" Narrative Therapy asks, "What story has brought you here?"

Narrative Therapy may help with:

  • Identity changes

  • Divorce

  • Empty nest

  • Career transitions

  • Grief

  • Midlife transitions

  • Low self-worth

  • Relationship challenges

What to expect

Together, we'll explore the stories influencing your life, identify strengths that may have been overlooked, and begin writing a more compassionate and authentic next chapter.

The Curatesse approach

Narrative Therapy blends beautifully with expressive arts, mindfulness, and reflective practices, allowing clients to move beyond insight into meaningful personal transformation.

Sometimes changing your life begins by changing the story you believe about yourself.

FAQs

What is Narrative Therapy?

1

Narrative Therapy helps you explore the stories you've developed about yourself, your relationships, and your life experiences. Together, we'll examine how these narratives influence your thoughts, emotions, and choices while creating space for new possibilities.

How can Narrative Therapy help during life transitions?

2

Periods of change often challenge our sense of identity. Narrative Therapy helps you make meaning of those transitions, recognize your strengths, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.

Will we spend time talking about my past?

3

Sometimes. Understanding your history can provide valuable context, but the focus is not simply on revisiting the past. Instead, we'll explore how your experiences have shaped your current story and how you would like that story to evolve.

How do you integrate Narrative Therapy into your work?

4

I often combine Narrative Therapy with reflective writing, expressive arts, mindfulness, and evidence-based psychotherapy to help clients gain deeper insight while creating meaningful, lasting change.
