Narrative Therapy
My work is underpinned by the principles of Narrative Therapy, an approach to therapeutic work that takes a non-judgemental stance, viewing problems as separate from people and understanding that the stories people tell about their experience shape their lives, histories and futures.
Narrative Therapy assumes that we have many stories about our identies developing simultaneously.
Aiming to assist people to reduce the influence of problem stories and increase the influence of preferred stories, narrative therapists pay attention to the history of skills, beliefs, values and commitments, bringing to the fore the resources and knowledge of individuals, families and communities.

“Working from a Narrative Therapy perspective means that I will seek to be respectful of the knowledge, skills, experience and expertise that you hold in relation to your life.”
