Solution Focused Brief Therapy is widely used in the NHS due to the speed at which it reportedly brings about positive change in people. It’s a therapeutic approach which is described as solution driven rather than problem driven; referencing many other modalities which focus on what’s wrong in someone’s life rather than the future they desire for themselves.

This 5 part course will take you through all the main theories and ideas around Solution Focused Brief Therapy allowing trained therapists to use the modality as part of their practice.

If you’re not yet a qualified therapist, you’re still welcome to download this course for the perspective of self-help or to get an idea of how Solution Focused Therapy works in case you’d like to train in this field. Please note, if you do not currently hold a qualification as a counsellor or psychotherapist you cannot use this course to call yourself a therapist. You would still need to attend a full certified course before seeing clients as a therapist.
