SFBT
What Is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a strength-based psychotherapy that helps you identify your existing skills and resources, helping you face future challenges with hope and resilience. It is called ‘brief’ therapy as we would expect sessions to last for around six weeks.
We all experience times when we feel we can deal with problems better, or more confidently, than others. This inconsistency is explored in SFBT, and together we look at when, and why this was the case.
How Does Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Work?
-
Step 1: Book SFBT Therapy
Get in touch with the Connect Psychology clinic to book an appointment. Our practice manager will be able to arrange a consultation with the psychologist best suited to your requirements.
-
Step 2: Have A Consultation
SFBT is future-oriented, which means we won’t spend lots of time discussing the past or early experiences; instead, it builds on your own understanding of what you need to do to improve your situation through goal setting and visualisation.
-
Step 3: Feedback & Discussion
At the end of the consultation, the therapist will discuss whether or not they believe you could benefit from additional therapy sessions. You can then decide if you would like to proceed with further appointments or not.
