An Overview of Solution Focused Therapy

What is Solution-Focused Therapy?

Solution-focused therapy (SFT) is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It emphasizes the client's strengths and resources, aiming to identify and amplify what is already working in their lives to create positive change. In SFT, the therapist and client work collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals and develop practical strategies to reach them.

Individual Therapy with SFT

In individual therapy, SFT begins by exploring the client's goals and desired outcomes. The therapist helps the client identify specific changes they want to make in their life and encourages them to envision a future where those changes have already occurred. Through guided questioning and exploration, the therapist helps the client identify their strengths, skills, and resources that can be used to achieve their goals. Together, they develop actionable steps and strategies to move towards the desired outcome.

Couples Therapy with SFT

In couples therapy, SFT focuses on enhancing communication, improving relationship dynamics, and fostering mutual understanding and support. The therapist helps the couple identify areas of agreement and cooperation, as well as areas where they may be stuck or experiencing conflict. By highlighting strengths and past successes, the therapist helps the couple envision a future where they are able to resolve their differences and achieve their relationship goals. The focus is on building on what is already working in the relationship and finding practical solutions to overcome challenges.

Family Therapy with SFT

In family therapy, SFT involves engaging the entire family system in the process of problem-solving and goal-setting. The therapist helps family members identify areas of harmony and cooperation within the family, as well as areas where there may be tension or discord. By reframing problems as opportunities for growth and change, the therapist empowers the family to work together towards shared goals. SFT encourages family members to focus on their strengths and resources, rather than getting caught up in blame or negativity.
