If you’re a solution focused person, this maybe a format that suits your preference in tackling problems. It may also help in knowing the professional is not involved in the issue or situation, being able to understand impartially what’s going on for you, can provide that alternative perspective and understanding that it’s focusing on the presenting issues.
You’ll also know when answering the preparation questions if this is something you can work with your therapist on a few sessions or if you feel dissatisfied with the sense that it’s only going to scratch the surface of what you’re looking to achieve in therapy. Your therapist will also let you know in the initial consultation if there is further support and resources are needed for your health, recovery and wellbeing that cannot be provided in solution focused sessions.
