Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Javeria directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and emotion-focused work online can help
Javeria uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps separate the person from a problem so they can see other possibilities and rewrite unhelpful narratives.She also draws on Client-Centred ideas that emphasise empathic listening, unconditional positive regard and working at the client’s pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to notice and work with strong feelings in relationships and personal life, helping people identify needs and respond differently.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. Plans can shift over time as new issues emerge and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel across different time zones.
