Counselling

If you are searching for a way to change or improve something in your life (i.e. tackling out-of-control stress levels, enhancing communication with significant others, handling criticism more effectively, dealing with difficult individuals, handling challenging situations at work, home, or within relationships, etc.), then Solution Focused Brief Therapy may be for you. Here, we engage in solution talk. Clients report leaving sessions with next steps, even after participating in one session. A tri-phase model of counselling, clients using this approach are finding themselves able to articulate their best hopes and dreams for their lives and leaving with concrete goals, as well as with plans for how to reach those goals.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy moves away from problem-talk, toward solution building.  Instead of focusing time and energy on analyzing what is wrong or problematic, this specific type of therapy helps clients see what is needed and wanted, building on client successes, strengths, resources, and goals. Solution talk focuses on activating possibility and hope.

I invite you to try something different. If you are looking to experience the power of positive psychology at work, then solution focused brief therapy may be for you. The intention of this approach is to leave clients feeling validated, accepted, and genuinely listened to. We will work toward setting goals that are positive, small, and behavioral. You can leave with a plan for exploring and clarifying those same goals, if that is your desire.  Please reach out: I am here for you.  Let’s chat about what YOU want.
