Like to begin your alcohol or drug recovery with a difference? You may be recently discharged from rehab or simply worried that it's getting in the road of a fulfilling life. Wherever the location of your journey, I can help.
I fell in love with Solution focused therapy at around the same time I was studying for my CBT diploma. At the time I was working in a housing complex for the homeless. I completed a diploma in Solutions focused practice with the most renowned trainers in Solutions focused at BRIEF in London. In the beginning, I wasn't sure whether it would work or how it would work especially with clients with alcohol and drug issues. What I learned changed the way I think about my clients and of myself. The thought of even considering setting up a promotional website would have been inconceivable for me before learning Solution focused. Now, I want to share my passion as a counsellor and trainer. Counselling is no longer a job I trained in or a vocation I chose. Over the years I have gradually stopped using other models of therapy and now almost exclusively practise with a Solution focused approach.
I now have fewer, more inspiring and lasting sessions with clients. I am so convinced of it's effectiveness that I practice on a pay-what-you-feel-basis. Hope you enjoy the website. Please get in touch if you're curious to find out more.
For Professionals
For me, SFBT is enough. I now no longer use any other model of therapy. I have no problem with other therapies. They are all amazing. I am also, after all, a qualified CBT therapist. SFBT is just different.
I'd be interested to hear from you if you would like to know more about what it means to practice Solution focused on its' own, what resources are out there, and what is so appealing about it. Solution-focused isn't easy. I know because I've been trying for years to improve. It needs lots of practise but it's so rewarding to listen to a client describe their hopes and dreams and realise them.
I'd love to meet others around Glasgow if you are already using SFBT so we can spread the word together about SFBT as a serious practice and have times we can chat about our successes. Let's see if we can put this evidence-based practice on the city map.
I'm also open to training the Solution-focused approach. SF can't be learned in a day but you can certainly start practising with a day's training. I did and never looked back. It is now used in many professions, not just counselling, so if you aren't a therapist, get in touch if you are curious to see how it could help.
