Narrative Therapy​

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, we offer Narrative Therapy as part of our evidence-based, person-centred approach to mental health care. This respectful and collaborative therapy is based on the idea that our lives are shaped by the stories we tell about ourselves.  These stories are often influenced by relationships, culture, trauma, and the society in which we live.

​

Narrative Therapy invites you to step back and examine how dominant narratives may have developed over time.  These may include narratives shaped by painful experiences, internalised expectations, or messages from others. When these stories become limiting or self-critical, they can affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and cope with distress.

​

Through guided reflection and therapeutic dialogue, Narrative Therapy helps to identify alternative stories that better reflect your values, strengths and goals. You are supported to re-author your story in a way that feels empowering, authentic, and more aligned with your hopes for the future.

 

This approach can be particularly helpful for people navigating identity exploration, self-doubt, past trauma, or life transitions. It encourages curiosity, self-compassion, and a renewed sense of agency, especially for those who feel stuck in patterns shaped by old experiences.

 

At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, Narrative Therapy may be integrated into treatment for a range of mental health presentations, including:

• Anxiety 

• Depression

• Family conflict and relationship difficulties

• Gender and identity support

• Grief and loss

• Trauma and PTSD

• Life transitions

• Self Esteem

​

We offer a safe, supportive space at our practice in the Sutherland Shire where you can reflect, heal, and move forward. Whether you’re seeking to process past events, gain clarity, or reconnect with a deeper sense of self, Narrative Therapy can provide a compassionate path toward lasting change.
