Solution Focused Brief Therapy - Masterclass
These two-day workshops have been prepared in response to requests
by people already familiar with SF approaches for an opportunity
to develop their skills and understanding further. Delegates
will be asked to send in a short, written case study (we supply
the format and a brief questionnaire) two weeks before the event.
Since SFBT is about actions the days will focus on doing more
of what works in working practice and doing something different
when it is not working. Please note: for practice purposes some
delegates may be asked to demonstrate their aspect(s) of the
approach with a volunteer.
Objectives
- Increase both their confidence and their
effectiveness with SFBT
- Strengthen areas where they may feel
underskilled
- Develop their creativity by encouraging
them to think differently about how they work
- Develop their own ideas and identify
areas of special interest
- Think about their own development as
practitioners
- Feel ‘safer’ through the
use of reflective techniques

This outline is the intended programme for guidance purposes.
Most of the points should be covered but the exact contents
will depend on what the participants bring to the event and
the emphasis required on specific topics.
Group size:
Smaller groups of experienced practitioners are favoured for
this format (up to 15 participants).
