Course Objectives

At the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Observe the professional ethics and values of a counsellor.

  • Practice the SFBT approach to engage and support clients in solution-building.


Course Overview

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is an evidence-based approach with more than 3 decades of research to counseling and therapy that focuses on solution-building instead of dwelling on client’s past or analyzing their issues. It is future-oriented, designed to help clients identify and achieve their desired outcome in a timely manner, making it time-efficient for therapists as well as for clients. It is a collaborative approach that involves the client and therapist working together to identify solutions, and a client-centered approach that recognises the unique needs, preferences and resources of each client, making it a flexible and adaptable approach.

SFBT has been found to be effective in a variety of settings, including mental health, addiction treatment, education and healthcare, and with a wide range of clients, including individuals, couples, families, and groups. Participants will learn concrete skills and techniques that they can apply immediately in their practice.
