About Solution Focused Practices

Solution-focused Brief practice is an approach based on solution building rather than problem solving. It explores current resources and future hopes rather than present problems and past causes.

Who can benefit from this approach?

Any persons who are able to think about their future hopes. Trained professionals can use this approach with: children, parents and other professionals/colleagues.

The SF approach is also a good tool in: the classroom, professional meetings, family meetings, target setting, reaching personal and work-related goals, mentoring, working with children with SEND, appraisals, disciplinaries, getting the most out of your staff, individuals with mild/moderate mental health issues and much more.

SFT for staff in Education, including teaching and non teaching staff

Solution Focused approach can be used in many ways within the school settings. The training focuses on: case studies, getting the best out of your students, empowering students to take responsibility for their own actions and help them move forward. Delegates will have a clear understanding of how they can incorporate solution focused practices into their classrooms with minimal effort. Delegates will be able to use the scaling questions to determine where the students are currently and what needs to happen to go up the scale. The Solution Focused approach can be used in all aspects of the curriculum and in behaviour management.

SFT for staff in statutory and non-statutory services

The Solution Focused approach is increasingly becoming more popular within social services, Youth Offending Teams etc. The Solution Focused Training concentrates on empowering young people and families in making better choices for themselves. The approach can be used as a tool in supporting clients in coping with set backs, setting targets and recognising small achievable steps towards their desired outcome. Delegates will be able to get the best out of their clients by using their new found questioning skills. Delegates will be able to use this approach when risk assessing and measuring success. The approach can be used as a tool for professionals and family to work together in working towards the best outcome for both parties.

10/10 fantastic training. I can't wait to go back and use the techniques with my students

The training not only gave me insight on how to best support our students but also how to get through to my own daughter!

I never realised how problem focused I was until I came on this training. 10 out of 10

This is the first training I have attended where I did not want to leave. Fantastic. A great eye opener.

I am hooked! The trainers were fantastic.

The training really put things into perspective for me.I now have a plan in how I can go about in expanding my business.

I can really see the families benefiting from this approach. Thank you to the two trainers. I did not fall asleep once!

As a team, we found the Solution Based Therapy training very thought provoking. It has introduced us to a new way of moving forward in situations with our participants. Thank you for including us in the day.
