An Introduction to Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Discover why Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is widely used across the NHS. Known for bringing about rapid, positive transformation, this powerful approach focuses entirely on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
Over five comprehensive modules, this course breaks down the core theories and concepts of SFBT, giving qualified therapists the practical tools to confidently add this modality to their practice.
Not a qualified therapist yet? You are still welcome to join! This course is an excellent resource for personal development or for anyone considering a career change into therapy. Please be aware, however, that this course alone does not qualify you to practice. If you don't already hold a professional qualification in counselling or psychotherapy, you will need to complete a full certified training path before working with clients.
