Solution-Focused Therapy
🎯 Solution-Focused Therapy: Building on Strengths, Moving Toward Change
Sometimes, when you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of the next step, it helps to shift the focus from what’s wrong to what’s possible. Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a forward-looking, practical approach that helps you identify your own inner resources and move toward the future you want—one small step at a time.
At Nova Counselling, we use Solution-Focused Therapy to support clients who want clarity, direction, and meaningful change—without getting stuck in the past.
💡 What Is Solution-Focused Therapy?
Rather than digging into the problem in depth, SFT starts with what’s already working—even if it feels small. Together, we focus on:
What you want to be different
Times when the problem was less present or easier to manage
The strengths and skills you already have
Small, achievable steps toward your goals
This approach is collaborative, respectful, and built around the belief that you are the expert on your own life.
🌱 Solution-Focused Therapy May Be Right For You If:
You want to make progress without long-term therapy
You're feeling stuck and need a new perspective
You're navigating a life decision or transition
You want to set and achieve specific goals
You’d like a strengths-based, optimistic approach to change
SFT is often short-term and highly adaptable—it can work well for individuals, couples, and even families.
🧭 Focusing on What’s Possible
In sessions, we’ll explore powerful questions like:
“What would be different if this problem was solved?”
“When have you been able to cope better than you expected?”
“What small step could you take today that would make a difference?”
These questions help you move from feeling stuck to feeling capable—and often uncover strengths you didn’t even realize you had.
💬 Small Shifts Can Lead to Big Changes
You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Solution-Focused Therapy meets you where you are and helps you take realistic, empowering steps toward the life you want to live.
