Receiving a diagnosis for yourself or a loved one with cancer or other chronic illness, can be quite overwhelming and frightening. It can cause feelings of fear, sadness, confusion and difficulty moving forward. These emotions can be present with any change in our lives that feels as though our control is taken from us. But we can gain control back and find happiness in life again. It just takes a new way of seeing what is right in front of us.

The client that might be best suited for my style of therapy are adults who are looking for a change in life but are often reluctant to reach out for support. Therapy is an unknown and can be intimidating, that's why I like to focus is on a client's strengths instead of their weaknesses, which can allow for a client to build up the good in their life by constructing solutions, rather than focusing on the problems. I like to support and guide a client in developing ways to handle whatever might be causing them stress and help them find more positive ways to cope and move forward in their life journey.

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.
