Providing benefit to people who have faced any kind of disadvantage who need support to help them make their desired changes for improved social, economic, physical and mental health outcomes

Quick and Effective!

Research has demonstrated that one important benefit of practitioners utilising a solution focused approach is that effective resolutions to the service user’s presenting problem(s) can be achieved in a comparatively short period of time; 65-83% of cases within an average of four to five sessions or less. Think of the savings in time, effort and resources this could bring to your service users, practitioners and service providers.
