Solution Focused Brief Therapy

You are invited to consider what you hope to achieve from your session, your Best Hopes, and to have a conversation about what you would like to have more of in your life instead of the problem.  Resilience is built by considering how you have kept going so far, and what you have learnt from your past experiences. Focusing more on what you would like your future to look like, your Preferred Future, can build your confidence and help you notice opportunities for bringing this about more intentionally. By clearly describing the kind of person we would like to be we can be pleased to discover, that there are already times that we are this version of ourselves.

Together with your partner, you will be invited to consider the kind of relationship you want to create. A relationship that would be most supportive for the person you are to best meet your needs in life moving forward. Rather than exploring what has contributed to the current problem, focus and energy is given to times in the past that your relationship was more like you would like it to be, and what you both did to contribute to this. You will be invited to consider the kind of partner you would like to be to best nurture and maintain your desired relationship.  Look out for opportunities to water the flowers instead of the weeds in your garden of love.
