I think you've succeeded in making a compassionate online platform, and that's energizing, especially coming from a country where the waiting lists in therapy are soul-drainingly long.Anonymous client in Copenhagen
I hope there will be more platforms like It's complicated - humane, humble, honest, and nourishing.Anonymous client in Berlin
Great way to connect and keep in contact with ones therapist! Easy to use, good video connection and easy to send questions about availability or share documents.Anonymous client
I'm really happy with the platform. After leaving an abusive relationship, I found a therapist here for myself, and also one for my daughter. I've recommended the site to multiple friends.Anonymous client

Narrative therapy and its applications
Narrative therapy focuses on exploring the stories and narratives that individuals construct about their lives and experiences. It is used to help people re-author their stories in ways that empower them and promote positive change. Narrative therapy is beneficial for individuals seeking to overcome challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, and identity struggles. By reshaping their narratives, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, leading to greater resilience and well-being.
How narrative therapy works
Narrative therapy typically involves a collaborative approach between the therapist and the individual. The therapist helps the individual identify and explore the dominant narratives that influence their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Through conversation, reflection, and storytelling techniques, the therapist assists the individual in re-evaluating and reconstructing their narratives in more empowering and resourceful ways. During the therapy process, individuals are encouraged to externalise their problems, viewing them as separate from themselves. This helps individuals distance themselves from their problems and gain perspective, allowing them to adopt a more constructive and empowered stance. Through the exploration of alternative narratives and perspectives, individuals can discover new possibilities for change and growth.
Is narrative therapy right for you?
Narrative therapy may be suitable for individuals who are interested in exploring their life stories and creating positive change. If you are open to examining and reshaping the narratives that shape your experiences, narrative therapy could be a valuable approach. It's essential to discuss your needs and goals with a qualified narrative therapist to determine if this approach aligns with your preferences and therapeutic objectives. Additionally, considering your comfort level with storytelling and reflective practices can help you decide if narrative therapy is the right fit for you.
