Welcome to my psychotherapy practice! Of knowing where your anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting yourself and others come from, but not knowing what to do about them? Of feeling like you’ve tried everything to heal yourself and to have success in your relationships, but not seeing the results you've hoped for? In my work, I put my knowledge of attachment theory as well as my skills in SFBT, CBT, MI, and mindfulness to use in helping my clients progress in their healing of lifelong childhood wounds.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

I believe that personal health is not only the state of the body but our minds, emotions, spirituality and thoughts as well. To help ourselves, we need to feel safe and secure in order to allow ourselves to become vulnerable and therefore able to work through the discomfort of change. There are times when life gets overwhelming as it's part of the human experience. As a result of this, you may feel stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, and your usual coping strategies aren't working. It is helpful to get support from someone who can provide a safe space for you to explore the thoughts and behaviours that are causing you pain.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Counsellors

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviours and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioural and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioural therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviours.
