SOLUTION FOCUSED BRIEF THERAPY (SFBT)
AT THE FITZROVIA PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC

WHAT CAN I EXPECT?

  • Initial Consultation: You will meet with one of our experienced clinicians to discuss the challenges you are facing, your goals for therapy and what you hope to achieve through Solution Focused Brief Therapy.
  • Comprehensive Assessment: We take time to understand your current situation, your strengths and the changes you would like to make. This helps us determine whether Solution Focused Brief Therapy is the most appropriate approach for your needs.
  • Clear Feedback: Your clinician will explain their understanding of your difficulties and discuss how Solution Focused Brief Therapy may help you achieve your goals.
  • Personalised Treatment Plan: Together, you will identify realistic, meaningful goals and develop a personalised treatment plan. Therapy focuses on recognising your strengths, identifying practical solutions and supporting sustainable behavioural change.
  • Ongoing Support: Although Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a brief therapeutic approach, sessions are tailored to your individual needs. The number of sessions will be discussed following your assessment and reviewed throughout treatment to ensure therapy continues to meet your goals.

How Solution Focused Brief Therapy can help

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is an evidence-based psychological approach that helps people move towards meaningful change by focusing on solutions rather than problems. Instead of becoming stuck in difficulties, therapy explores what is already working well and how your existing strengths can help you achieve your goals.

SFBT can be effective for a range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship challenges. Working collaboratively with your therapist, you will identify realistic goals and develop practical strategies that can be applied both during therapy and in everyday life.

Seeking support can help you gain greater confidence, improve your wellbeing and make positive, lasting changes.

  • Jonathan is fantastic. I found our sessions to be a very calm environment that really helped me to reset each week. Jonathan really builds a great rapport, and is very practical and realistic during the process. I could not recommend him more!

    Former Client

  • I am extremely grateful for the care Allison showed me during our sessions. She always adapted sessions to match my needs and demonstrated a real understanding of the difficulties I was facing. Her openness and kindness meant that trust was developed very quickly, and I would have no hesitation in seeing her again should I ever need to.

    Former Client

  • The early stages showed me that Emily truly cares about helping other people. I was hesitant to start sessions, but Emily remained consistent with reaching out and always remained patient and understanding. The depth and structure of the sessions was incredible, I’ve never worked with a therapist who has left me feeling like I understand and appreciate to I am to such a level.
