NARRATIVE Therapy
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative and empowering approach that helps individuals separate themselves from their problems and explore their experiences through storytelling. It is based on the idea that the way we interpret and describe our lives shapes how we see ourselves, our relationships, and our possibilities for change.
Here at Sage Psychology, we offer Narrative Therapy in Wimbledon, Epsom, and online. Our experienced therapists support individuals, couples, and families to uncover the stories that influence their wellbeing, helping them re-author these narratives in ways that reflect their strengths, values, and hopes for the future.
What Is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy is grounded in the belief that you are not the problem; the problem is the problem. Through guided conversation, your therapist helps you explore how certain ‘dominant stories’ about yourself or your life may have been shaped by past experiences, social expectations, or internalised beliefs.
By identifying these stories and their effects, you can begin to create alternative narratives that highlight your resilience, skills, and values. This process can bring clarity, compassion, and a renewed sense of agency in how you move forward.
What Can Narrative Therapy Help With?
Narrative Therapy is a flexible and person-centred approach that can be helpful for a wide range of issues, including:
Challenges related to neurodiversity or social identity
Relationship or family difficulties
Identity exploration or life transitions
How Narrative Therapy Works
In Narrative Therapy, your story is the focus, but you are the author. Sessions often involve exploring key events, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped your personal narrative. With your therapist, you will:
Identify unhelpful or limiting narratives
Explore how these stories have influenced your sense of self
Recognise times you’ve resisted or challenged these stories
Develop new, empowering narratives that reflect your strengths and values
Reconnect with what gives your life meaning and direction.
This collaborative approach encourages curiosity, creativity, and self-compassion, allowing you to view challenges from a fresh perspective.
