Solution Focused Therapy

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) is a brief, goal-oriented approach to counselling that focuses on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This approach is based on the belief that you have the inner resources and strengths to create positive change in your life.

Key Principles

• Focus on Solutions: SFT emphasizes identifying and building on your existing strengths and resources to create solutions. It shifts the focus from past problems to future possibilities.
• Goal-Oriented: Therapy sessions are structured around defining clear, specific, and achievable goals. This helps you stay focused and motivated throughout the counselling process.
• Present and Future Focused: SFT focuses on your present situation and desired future rather than dwelling on past events.
• Collaborative: SFT is a collaborative process between you and your therapist. Your therapist will guide you through the process of identifying your strengths, setting goals, and creating solutions.
