Individual Online Therapy

Sometimes, life feels hard. Maybe you’re feeling sad, worried, angry, or confused. Maybe something happened that you don’t quite know how handle.

That’s where individual therapy comes in. It’s a safe space where it’s just you and me — having a conversation about your life.

And Narrative Therapy is the kind of therapy I prefer to use during individual therapy sessions.

So, what is narrative therapy?

Narrative therapy assumes that it’s not about fixing you (because you are not broken!). It’s about looking at the stories you tell yourself about yourself and your life.

Everyone has these personal stories they carry inside them. For example:

• “I’m not good at friendships.”
• “I always mess things up.”
• “I don’t belong anywhere.”
• “I’m not adequate.”
• “I don’t know how to do it.”

These stories come from things you’ve been through — your family, school, friends, culture, or even something someone once said.

They determine the way we think and act, but more than that: They also determine how you make sense of yourself and the world around you.

Narrative therapy helps you notice the stories shaping your life — and gives you the chance to change them.

Narrative therapy uncovers the truth about your personal stories

Your life is like a book — full of memories, feelings, and moments. But here’s something cool:

• You don’t tell the whole story — only certain parts.
• Sometimes, you ignore parts that don’t fit with the main story.
• Sometimes the stories you tell  yourself are unfair and untrue.
• Sometimes, your stories make you feel stuck or small.

For example, if your story is “I’m a failure,” you might start seeing your life only through that lens. You might miss moments where you were brave, clever, kind, or strong — just because those don’t fit your “failure” story.

In narrative therapy, we go looking for those missing moments… the little moments in your life where the Problem doesn’t win.

Maybe you stood up for yourself. Maybe you helped someone. Maybe you just got out of bed when it felt really hard.

These small wins are actually big — they show that you’re not powerless. They show that you already have strengths, skills, and hope inside you.

Narrative therapy helps you to notice these moments, explore them, and build new stories around them.

Because there are always other stories about you waiting to be told:

• Stories of survival and strength
• Stories of love and courage
• Stories of trying again
• Stories if kindness

As we talk, we look for those hidden or forgotten stories. When we find them, something amazing happens: you start to see yourself differently. And that changes everything.

Even though it might seem like “just talking,” these conversations can help you feel more free, more hopeful, and more you. And they can even be — believe it or not — the stimuli to  change your life for the better.

But there is something else…

In narrative therapy you are not the problem

A lot of the time, people talk as if they are their problems. Like:

• “He’s the depressed one.”
• “She’s the problem child.”
• “I’m just a mess.”

But in Narrative Therapy, we say: you are not the problem — the Problem is the problem.

That might sound strange, but it’s important. It means:

• You can stand up to the Problem.
• The people around you can help you.
• You are free to be more than what the Problem says you are.

We even give the Problem a capital ‘P’, like a name. Because it’s not you — it’s something outside of you that we can explore together.

And we assume that you are the EXPERT on your own life! We listen, guide, and ask questions — but you get to lead the way. You know your life and yourself the best.

And you already have the tools to take on the Problem — we just need to shine a light on them.

These tools are called unique outcomes — the things you’ve done (or thought or felt) that go against what the Problem says about you.

Once we find them, we build on them.

Together we create new stories — stories that reflect who you really are and who you are becoming.

In therapy, we don’t try to fix you. We help you tell better, truer stories about yourself.

And that changes everything.
