Solution Focused Therapy
Solution-focused therapy is a goal-oriented, strengths-based approach that helps individuals identify practical solutions and build on what’s already working in their lives.
Rather than digging into past problems, this therapy focuses on envisioning a preferred future and recognizing the skills, resources, and successes that can move clients forward. It emphasizes small, achievable steps toward meaningful change.
This approach values hope, collaboration, and empowerment, guiding clients to tap into their own abilities to overcome challenges and create lasting improvement. Through focused conversations, solution-focused therapy nurtures confidence, resilience, and positive momentum.
Solution Focused Therapy Aims To:
✔ Highlight clients’ existing strengths and resources
✔ Clarify clear, achievable goals for change
✔ Promote practical, forward-looking solutions
✔ Encourage small steps toward progress
✔ Foster client empowerment and confidence
✔Build lasting positive momentum and resilience
Solution-focused therapy isn’t suited for every circumstance. When someone is dealing with urgent issues like domestic violence or active substance abuse, they often need immediate safety measures and more structured support first. In such situations, therapies that focus on crisis management or direct intervention are usually recommended before shifting to a solution-focused approach
