Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a practical, future-oriented approach that emphasizes possibilities over problems. Instead of focusing on what’s wrong or dwelling on the past, this therapy helps you tap into your existing strengths and resources to create meaningful, lasting change.
What is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy?
SFBT is built on the belief that you already have the skills, resilience, and wisdom necessary to overcome challenges. The therapy process is collaborative and goal-driven, centering on what you want to achieve rather than what you want to avoid.
Rather than spending extensive time analyzing the root of the problem, SFBT helps you:
-
Identify clear goals for the future.
-
Recognize exceptions—moments when the issue was less severe or not present at all.
-
Build on strategies and solutions that are already working.
-
Develop practical steps to move closer to your preferred outcome.
How SFBT Works
During sessions, you’ll be encouraged to envision the future you want to create and explore how life would look once the problem is resolved. We use powerful techniques like:
The Miracle Question: magine your problem disappeared overnight—what would be different in your life tomorrow?
Scaling Questions: Rate your progress or feelings on a scale to track growth and make abstract goals more concrete.
Exploring Exceptions: Identifying times when you’ve successfully managed challenges, so we can amplify those strengths.
This forward-looking process is designed to be brief and effective, often requiring fewer sessions than traditional therapy approaches.
Who Can Benefit from SFBT?
SFBT is flexible and has been successfully used with individuals, couples, and families. It is especially helpful for:
-
Managing stress and anxiety
-
Enhancing relationships and communication
-
Building self-confidence and motivation
-
Overcoming workplace or academic challenges
-
Coping with transitions or life changes
-
Creating clarity when you feel “stuck”
Because the focus is on strengths and solutions, SFBT empowers you to move forward quickly and confidently.
The Result: Quick, Lasting Change
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy doesn’t ignore the challenges you face—it simply shifts the focus to what’s possible. By concentrating on solutions, you can take immediate, practical steps toward building the life you want.
The outcome is a renewed sense of confidence, clarity, and direction—helping you create meaningful change in less time.
