Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: A Different Way to Approach Sessions

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) offers mental health practitioners a practical, empowering approach that shifts the focus from analysing problems to building solutions.

Grounded in the belief that clients already have the strengths, internal resources, and capabilities to draw upon, SFBT encourages practitioners to focus on clients’ existing resources and possibilities, helping them set clear goals and move toward a preferred future.

In this ebook, you’ll discover:

  • How to help clients tap into their strengths and support positive change

  • How to use the Miracle Question to help clients envision a preferred future and identify meaningful goals

  • How Exception Questions can uncover times when problems are less present and highlight existing strengths and successful behaviours

  • How Coping Questions can help clients recognise their resilience and find a way forward during overwhelming times

If you'd like to explore these ideas in greater depth, our Solution-Focused Brief Therapy course offers practical training, therapy demonstrations and expert guidance from Dr Johnny Kim, Dr Stephen Langer and Dr Cynthia Franklin.
