You don’t need more techniques. You need sharper use of what you already know, because when your use of SFBT sharpens, everything improves.
Description
For the best CPD experience this CPD has a maximum of 12 available places.
This two-day CPD is designed to change that.
This is not a basic introduction. It is a return to the core of the model, with a deeper, more deliberate exploration of how the SFBT protocol works, why it works, and how to apply it with greater precision, confidence and impact in your SFH sessions.
Because when your use of SFBT tools sharpens, everything else in your practice improves.
- Your sessions become cleaner.
- Your questions become more purposeful.
- Your clients move forward more quickly and with greater clarity.
While SFH and SFBT are not identical, the overlap is significant; it really is the beating heart of our therapy. A strong grasp of SFBT tenets, tools and principles strengthens your ability to deliver truly solution focused work, that drives your clients forward.
You don’t need more information. You need sharper use of what you already know.
This CPD is for you if:
- you know SFBT is the foundation of your work but haven’t revisited it in depth since training
- your sessions sometimes feel a little too conversational or less focused than you’d like
- you want to sharpen your questioning, so clients move forward more quickly and clearly
- you notice yourself getting sucked into problem-talk and want to confidently redirect whilst maintaining respect and rapport
- you lean on the neuroscience to do the heavy lifting, but know your questioning could be sharper
- you’d like to feel more precise and intentional in how you use solution focused techniques
- you want to strengthen your clinical confidence, not just your knowledge
- you’re already a good therapist and want to become a more effective one
