Solution-Focused Therapy
Find a next step that feels possible
When a difficulty has taken up a lot of space, it can become hard to picture what you would like life to look like instead. You might feel that you have tried many things or that your strengths have become difficult to see. Starting with a small, meaningful difference can sometimes make the conversation feel more manageable.
Solution-Focused Therapy explores the future you would prefer and the resources you may already have. It pays particular attention to strengths, support and moments when a difficulty is less intense or you have responded in a useful way. I would work with you to describe what improvement would mean in your own terms. Your feelings and circumstances still matter; the approach gives particular attention to possibilities we can explore together.
BACP’s guide to therapy approaches includes an introduction to solution-focused brief therapy.
