Our focus is designing and providing support services to

In the process, we seek to create lasting relationships
built on trust, integrity and quality of service.
Our psychologists utilise both Solution Focused Brief Therapy
(SFBT) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) as their main
framework for treatment. In contrast to some traditional
models of psychotherapy, both these models are recognised
as active approaches rather
than purely reflective. They drive change as well as promote
insight and understanding of why a problem occurs. One
of the assumptions of both these models is the view that
people are often constrained by their own narrow, pessimistic
perceptions of their lives and problem solving capabilities.
This may result in ineffective, repetitive behaviour that
ultimately leaves people feeling stuck and unsure about
the issues that confront them.
CBT and SFBT are practical models of therapy that place
emphasis on respect for a person’s competence,
strengths and resources. They de-emphasise a person’s
history and focuses more on the present where problems
are often maintained, not in the past that may have “caused” them.
Ultimately, the main focus is the construction of a solution.
Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
maintain that if both client and therapist can reorient
themselves in the direction of the client’s strengths,
clarify goals and strategies to achieve them, then therapy
can be brief.
The Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy models are suited to a wide range of presenting
problems. Their brief therapy framework enables individuals
to work towards solutions by focusing on their strengths
and building necessary skills that can be used to resolve
current problems and others that may arise in the future.
We also utilise alternative therapeutic approaches when
appropriate.
Solution Focus Psychology maintains strict confidentially
in the provision of counselling and support services. Psychologists
are ethically bound under the Psychologist's Act 2001
and adhere to the guidelines of the NSW Psychologists’ Registration
Board. All psychologists are registered and are members
of the Australian Psychological Society. |
