Talking Therapy for COUPLES. (SFBT)
In recent years, COVID-19 and many other factors have tested us and put excessive stress/strain on our relationships and any negative feelings are likely to be amplified. I am still seeing the effects that COVID has had on us and even the very strongest of partnerships have been tested.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a psychotherapeutic talking therapy that is an evidenced and outcome based approach focusing on your strengths to bring about significant positive changes, helping to identify, create, and live the kind of life you both have been longing for.
What makes Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) stand apart for couples work?
Using SFBT, we focus in the direction that you both would like to pursue. Rather than asking questions about the problem, we use Solution Focused questions to develop in detail your desired outcome focus on building the connections between each other again, as connection comes before communication.
For many people, it is more important to find solutions than it is to analyse the problem in great detail.
The word “brief” in Solution Focused Brief Therapy is the key. Just because the problem may be big or has been present for a long time, doesn’t mean that the solution is going to take a long time and very often the solution is not related to the problem. Most couples have on average 3 sessions, thus saving you both time and money! There is always the option to have more sessions together or separately.
You will gain an understanding of the mind to how and why you may be feeling and/or behaving the way you do and we will discuss strategies to begin to create change.
Unlike traditional problem-driven approaches Solution Focused Therapy helps couples recognise their internal resources, identify personal strengths and build on what is already working for them.
Please do contact me where I can answer any questions and we can book a convenient time to start working together to help you both reach your desired outcome.
