Narrative Arts Therapy

Dear Reader

Narrative Arts Therapy is a gentle, trans disciplinary approach to healing that weaves together psychology, philosophy and storytelling. Rooted in both ancient oral traditions and contemporary science, it honours the deep human need to make authentic meaning through story – visually, verbally, and symbolically.

In my practice, I offer people the skills to approach their challenges with creativity and compassion. This approach to healing grew from decades of listening to stories at the margins: stories of survival, silence, and transformation. It is informed by Indigenous wisdom, especially from the San communities of Southern Africa, as well as by contemporary research into how the brain processes memory, emotion, and narrative.

This work invites people to map their inner landscapes — to draw, speak, and reimagine their experiences in ways that restore dignity – and possibility.

Healing through the narrative arts is about reshaping the story we tell ourselves about who we are – and who we might yet become.

You are welcome.
