Solution Focused Therapy

This therapy focuses on what works, even in difficult situations. Noticing both the strategies tried and the inner strengths present generates feelings of empowerment. Scaling is used to determine how much or how little a problem affects life and discussion of this elicits memories of times when the person functioned without this difficulty, or managed it in an improved way.

Compliments are constructive and once the client hears themselves noticing the small ways in which self management is operable, they can increase this and, with growing confidence, learn to expand it.

This therapy is about creating detailed pictures of what the solution would look like and the feelings created once that is accomplished, then working towards obtaining small glimpses of this and adding pieces, week by week, until the picture reflects a life that is working better.

Our social/behavioral therapist Katy uses this therapy approach. It may sound complicated but it is simple and effective when used by a skilled practitioner and it is a good approach to use with children.
