Digital narrative counselling, an extension of narrative counselling, offers students a communication medium that is natural in today's world and thus adds a highly motivational component to the narrative therapy programming in schools. The storytelling element is a powerful strategy, as it meets a fundamental human need to tell one's story. It focuses on how people construct meaning and identity and allows the student to externalize a problem by telling a story. What makes narrative therapy the effective tool for school counsellors is its ability to help students understand that they can be the authors of their own life stories.
