Solution Focused Therapy

Solution Focused Therapy is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that focuses on what you would like to be different, rather than on analysing problems in depth. It is grounded in the belief that people already have strengths, resources, and abilities that can support change — even when things feel stuck.

Rather than spending long periods exploring the origins of difficulties, this approach centres on identifying what is working, what has helped in the past, and what small, meaningful steps might move you closer to your preferred future.

This approach may be helpful if you…

• Want practical support focused on change and progress

• Feel stuck but do not want to revisit the past in detail

• Are facing a specific challenge or decision

• Would like short-term, structured support

• Want to build confidence in your own strengths and abilities

• Are looking for a clear, future-focused way of working

What sessions are like

Solution Focused Therapy sessions are structured, collaborative, and forward-looking. Together with your therapist, you will clarify what you want to be different and explore times when aspects of this are already happening, even in small ways.

Sessions often involve focused questions, reflection on strengths, and identifying achievable next steps. The pace is guided by your goals, and the work emphasises clarity, hope, and momentum.

Who this service is for

Solution Focused Therapy is offered to adults, and may also be suitable for adolescents depending on the clinician. Sessions can take place in person or online.

This approach can be particularly helpful when you are seeking brief or time-limited support, or when you have a clear sense of what you would like to change.
