Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide a link between narrative therapy and coaching and furthermore highlight distinctions and similarities between the two. The theory behind narrative therapy and narrative coaching will be further detailed with a focus on Michael Whites contributions. Next we will describe how externalizing conversations can be practised within narrative therapy and coaching and commonly used tools and techniques will be introduced, in an attempt to outline distinctions and similarities between the two helping relations. Finally, we will discuss narrative therapy in a coaching context, built around 13 statements, thereby trying to distinguish boundaries, distinctions and similarities between narrative therapy and coaching.
