In Solution-Focused Therapy, the therapist and client collaborate to identify and amplify the client's strengths and resources. Through guided conversations, the therapist helps the client envision a future where their desired outcomes have been achieved. By focusing on small, achievable steps, clients can make progress towards their goals and create lasting change.

How Does Solution-Focused Therapy Work?

Solution-Focused Therapy is a strengths-based, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than dwelling on past problems. Developed in the 1980s by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, SFT is grounded in the belief that individuals have the resources and resilience to create positive change in their lives.
