How Solution-Focused Therapy Works

Unlike traditional therapies that may delve deeply into past experiences and traumas, Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and future-focused. The therapist and client collaborate to:

• Identify clear, achievable goals.

• Explore past successes and strengths.

• Develop practical strategies to create a desired future.

SFT uses a variety of techniques to help clients envision ideal outcomes and take actionable steps. Some commonly used techniques include:

• The Miracle Question
  “If a miracle happened overnight and your problem was solved, what would be different in your life?”
  This question encourages clients to imagine their preferred future.

• Scaling Questions
  Clients rate their progress or confidence on a scale, which helps them assess where they are now and identify small steps to move forward.

• Exception-Finding
  Exploring moments when the problem was less severe to uncover effective coping strategies.
