What is Solution-Focused Practice?

What is Solution-Focused PracticeSolution focused practice is now recognised as being both a respectful and efficient way of working with people in the helping professions, education, employment and in the wider business and consultancy context. From individual counsellors and coaches to whole organisations in the public and private sector, the evidence and benefits of the approach can be seen. Solution Focused (SF) Practice is the practical application of SF principles, which in outline are:

establishment of what a “preferred future” might be
identification of ways in which this is already happening
using the person’s own resources to move in small steps in the
right direction.
