Clients seek counseling with me for struggles that they are experiencing with depression, anxiety, anger, relationships and transition periods in their lives. I provide them with specific skills and techniques to manage their distress more effectively. My treatment is solution-focused, short-term in nature, and many clients return to me intermittently for times that they get stuck in old and unproductive patterns.

The world of work can be hard, especially for leaders and managers! After working as a HR leader, and helping organizations with change and leadership development, I left the corporate world to support people with challenges that are impacting them in their world of work. The difficult thing is that sometimes "work" challenges are really "us" challenges. Participating in healing and growth (which is what makes us human), can be difficult in what can feel like a quick and callous world. Sometimes work is our safe space, or "the only normal part of my life" and I'm here for that too!

So many women in nursing and healthcare professions get to a point in their career where they realize how exhausted and unsatisfied they are, and wonder if they're in the right place. Maybe your strategies for managing stress stopped working, you've missed a shift because of feeling overwhelmed, made a mistake because your brain is frazzled. Or you spend so much effort recovering from your last shift and preparing for the next one, that you aren't enjoying life and relationships. It's possible to feel inspired and fulfilled in the work you do, while also having a satisfying life outside of work.

Grief occurs in many ways. Losing someone you love, perhaps a spouse, partner, or child. You don't know who you are anymore because of job loss, a breakup, or divorce. Unfortunately, your friends and family aren't helping. They don't know how to listen to you and don't allow you to feel how you truly feel. Instead, they try to fix you, or solve your problems for you, using TV advice. They just don't understand what it's like to be in your shoes, or they don't care to. You sense they'd rather not hear about it. Nothing's working but you know you deserve support.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists
How does solution-focused therapy work?
The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors 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 behavioral 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 behavioral therapy?
Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral 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 behaviors.
