View profileNarrative Therapy is a collaborative therapeutic approach that helps people explore the stories they hold about themselves, their relationships and their life experiences. These stories can shape identity, emotions, choices and the way a person understands problems. Some stories support growth. Others become restrictive and make the person feel stuck, ashamed, powerless or defined by pain.
This approach may help with identity questions, meaning and purpose, self-esteem and trauma. It may also support people who feel trapped in old labels, family expectations, cultural pressure, shame, relationship patterns or a dominant story of failure.
A central idea in Narrative Therapy is that the person is not the problem. The problem is explored as something that affects the person’s life, not as the whole truth of who they are. This process is often called externalising. For example, a client may explore how anxiety, shame or self-criticism influences decisions, relationships and body sensations. This creates space to respond differently.
Narrative Therapy also works with re-authoring. This means giving more attention to neglected parts of life, such as courage, care, resistance, creativity, loyalty, survival or moments of choice. The therapist does not invent a false positive story. They help the client build a fuller and more accurate story that includes strengths, values and preferred directions.
Sessions may include conversation, reflection, writing exercises, timelines, letters, values clarification and exploration of important relationships. The therapist may help the client map the influence of the problem, notice exceptions and identify what kind of life they want to support.
Narrative Therapy may suit people who want to explore identity, meaning, personal history or the stories that shape their self-worth. People who prefer a more structured symptom-focused approach may also consider Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). If values and action are central, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may also be relevant. For trauma-related symptoms, some people may need EMDR Therapy or another trauma-informed approach before or alongside Narrative Therapy.
For people living abroad or working in another language, online therapy may make this form of support easier to access.
Families who relocate for work in Sophia Antipolis or Monaco, remote workers, students and retirees all live in and around Nice, and many of them look for narrative therapy. Conversations explore the stories that shape your identity and look for experiences that do not fit the problem story.
A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks, in person in Nice with therapists who receive clients there, or online by secure video. Psychiatrists’ consultations are covered by the Assurance Maladie within the coordinated care pathway, while most other private sessions are paid directly and may be partly refunded by your mutuelle. The first session is a good moment to talk about your expectations and see whether narrative therapy suits you.

A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80–€140 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors, and their consultations are covered by the Assurance Maladie when you follow the coordinated care pathway. Sessions with psychologists and psychotherapists are mostly paid directly. Under the “Mon soutien psy” scheme, a limited number of sessions with participating psychologists can be partly reimbursed, and many mutuelles or expat insurances refund part of private sessions: check your contract. Therapists give you an invoice you can submit.
Fees are set by each therapist and displayed on their profile. The indicative ranges shown on this site are around €80 to €180 per session for most individual approaches, €120 to €220 for couples or family sessions and €70 to €130 for coaching, career counselling or parenting support. A session usually lasts 50 to 60 minutes, weekly or every two weeks.
Therapy cannot respond to emergencies. If you or someone near you is in danger, call 112 (European emergency number) or 15 (SAMU, medical emergencies). For suicidal thoughts, the national prevention line 3114 is free and available 24/7.
Start with what matters most to you: the language, the topic you want to work on, the approach, in-person or online sessions and the fee, all shown on the profiles. If you would like help choosing, tell us what you need and we will suggest therapists. Your impression after the first session counts too.
