Solution-Focused Therapy is a modern, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy that concentrates on finding solutions in the present time and exploring hope for the future, rather than focusing on the past or dwelling on problems. This therapy assumes that you are the expert in your own life and are capable of creating meaningful change. SFT is known for its efficiency and effectiveness, often requiring fewer sessions than traditional therapy methods.
Quick Resolution of Concerns: SFT is designed to yield quick results, helping clients to identify and achieve their goals in fewer sessions by focusing on solutions rather than dissecting problems.
Increased Self-Empowerment: Empowering you to recognize your own strengths and resources to cope with challenges.
Enhanced Clarity: Helps you clarify your goals and what you really want to achieve in your life or from therapy.
Positive Outlook: Encourages a more optimistic outlook and a focus on the future, fostering positive feelings and behaviours.
Solution-Focused Therapy sessions typically begin with identifying your specific goals and the ideal outcomes you wish to achieve from therapy. Instead of analyzing past behaviors or symptoms, the therapy focuses on exploring times in your life when aspects of your goal were already happening. Through questions like, "What would be different if your life were the way you wanted it?" or "Can you recall a time when this problem wasn't present?" therapists help you construct a concrete vision of what you want and expand on the skills and strategies you already use to enhance your life.
