I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. When you dare to delve into the intricate pages of your personal narrative, you will find yourself on a path toward self-awareness and self-acceptance. This journey can involve unearthing your past experiences, understanding your thought patterns, and recognizing the emotional landscapes that have shaped your life. It's a process that calls for introspection and vulnerability, but in return, it offers the potential for profound transformation. Exploration of self has the power to reshape your existence in ways you might have never thought possible

Do you have a felt sense that something profound has yet to change, but you’re not quite sure how to shift all the way into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist? Maybe your demanding schedule makes attending weekly therapy appointments a challenge, but you want to dive in to resolving issues that you have been dealing with for awhile? Do you need help with something and it is affecting you right now but you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better? Now more than ever we need flexibility on how we get support in life.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
