Narrative Approach in Counseling

The Narrative Approach in counseling focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. It recognizes that individuals shape their identities through these narratives. Counselors help clients explore and rewrite their personal stories, enabling them to shift perspectives and address challenges. By examining past experiences and the meanings assigned to them, clients can identify strengths and possibilities for change. This approach empowers individuals to take control of their narratives, fostering resilience and personal growth while reinforcing that they are the authors of their own lives.
