Short-Term Solution Focused Counseling
What is Solution Focused Counseling?
Short-term Solution-Focused Counseling is a dynamic and efficient approach designed to yield quick results, typically within 6 sessions or less. This method emphasizes collaborative goal-setting between you and your therapist, fostering a partnership that targets specific, achievable outcomes. Your therapist will guide you through targeted questions aimed at uncovering your personal strengths and inner resources, empowering you to recognize and utilize your existing capabilities. Instead of exploring past issues, the focus remains firmly on developing practical solutions for your current challenges. This future-oriented, solution-driven approach is tailored to help you achieve meaningful change in a condensed timeframe.
