My Therapy

My therapy is informed by Narrative ideas (see link for detailed information on Narrative Therapy). I believe that we make sense of our lives through stories, the ones we tell about ourselves and the ones that are told about us. These stories give us a sense of meaning and history. They give us a way to connect to friends and family in a lasting, continuous way. We develop beliefs, feelings and behaviors about ourselves, others and the world according to these stories.

These stories can give us support in a positive way, helping us to organize and understand ourselves. Stories can also limit and restrict us. When the stories are told in a positive way they affirm who we are, support us in our growth and help us through difficult, challenging times. When the stories describe us in a negative way, are untruthful, biased or limiting, it impoverishes our sense of self and ability to deal with problems. 

I support you in re-telling the stories of your life to discover your strengths, values, beliefs, hopes and knowledge to support you in personal growth and finding solutions to the problems that are currently influencing your life in a negative way. I believe that supporting you in the re-telling of your stories will help you maintain lasting solutions to the problems you address in your therapy.
