Overview:

Narrative practice comes from the tradition of systemic therapy and is based on the idea that the stories we and others tell about our lives shape the choices open to us.

The social and political contexts in which we live influence the range of descriptions available to us, and invite us to behave in certain ways. Problems arise when these descriptions limit our choices in ways that do not honour our aspirations, our hopes and our abilities. Narrative therapy aims to help people and those in their network (re)discover more enabling descriptions of themselves and those around them in ways that open up hope and possibilities for the future.
