Narrative Cards for meaningful conversations
Description
These Narrative Cards are for practitioners; therapists, teachers, counsellors wanting to use narrative ideas in their practice.
Cards for meaningful conversations.
A set of 48 cards divided into 6 areas of exploration featuring questions through which to co-create new possibilities. The cards are there to support the worker. Facilitating opportunities to move from what is known and familiar to what is possible to know thanks to the conversations.
Some questions are only prompts that can be adapted to bespoke conversations—the question is only a reminder for the therapist to explore a certain area of inquiry.
An example: How would you describe the people who are important to you? What qualities or attributes make someone important to you?
The set of cards will help the less familiar practitioner to use narrative questions. At the same time, if you are an experienced therapist, and you are familiar with narrative ideas, these cards can provide you with words that help the conversation to stay in touch with the narrative ethos.
When practising narrative therapy, we encourage the people consulting us to tell the problematic story, and our work as therapists is to become detectives of the preferred story line and re-tell the story in ways that move away from the problems that surround people. Once the preferred story is visible and storied, it is also our task as therapists to ask questions to enrich the story that is preferred. This is easier to say than to achieve. With this set of cards, we have rescued from our work with individuals and groups the questions that can help to facilitate the task of discovery. With these questions, it is more possible to create a safe territory of exploration.
Each set of cards follows a theme and identifies areas of exploration within that theme. Each card prompts conversations to enrich preferred accounts of people’s stories. Utilising our cards to facilitate conversations is a playful way to achieve something powerful. The cards aid the therapist to encourage the narration of people’s stories in ways that helps them to feel empowered. The questions invite people to get in touch with surprising memories that re-connect them with their values and hopes for the future, encouraging people to take actions in life.
We are having some excellent feedback from people that are using the cards, for example in groups, in supervision, couple therapy and as a resource to remember narrative questions.

In the moment, I sometimes struggle to find words to articulate myself ‘narratively’. These cards are a great tool to stay on track in the spirit of narrative therapy.

I’ve found the narrative therapy cards to be extremely helpful in individual therapy sessions as well as in my personal life. They are versatile and can even be used effectively with a small group of friends. I use all three versions — French, English, and Spanish — and I really appreciate their clarity and adaptability. I think their use makes it possible to open space for reflection and new perspectives, following the narrative approach.

Me han parecido una herramienta muy hermosas y muy rica para utilizar en mi trabajo tanto en al momento de trabajar en grupos y consulta individual, no solo ayuda a generar conversaciones desde el enfoque narrativo sino que se puede adaptar y crear nuevas dinámicas y dinámicas a partir de las mismas. Adicionalmente, me han ayudado mucho para practicar en mi desarrollo profesional .

Narratieve coaching houdt in dat de coach de coachee begeleidt bij het ontdekken van de innerlijke levensverhalen, in al hun meerstemmigheid.
De kaarten die ontwikkeld zijn door Mariangels Ferrer kunnen een hulpmiddel zijn om mensen te helpen vertellen wat voor hen van betekenis was en is.
Wij bevelen het gebruik van deze kaarten aan, omdat ze niet alleen helpen om naar boven te halen wat in het verleden betekenisvol was, maar ook wat iemand diep van binnen verlangt te realiseren in de nabije toekomst.

I’ve been using these cards as part of my group facilitation and as part of my teaching around personal development in trainee practitioners. They’re great for facilitating conversation around topics that students feel comfortable with answering (especially if you let people choose the questions). This creates safety and at the same time deepens connection.

Thank you 🙏

I have used the cards in English and in French with my workshop attendees to allow them to experience a meaningful conversation in pairs. I hand each pair one group of the cards and let them ask/answer the questions in turn. It is a great way to experience the narrative approach for people who are starting their narrative journey. Many thanks.

Thank you for sharing your experience in both English and French!
