The
Invictus Counselling Service provides individual and couples counselling for
adults and adolescents using the Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
approach. SFBT
is a respectful, empowering and hopeful approach. SFBT invites
you to consider what you hope for, the positive difference you would like to
see in your life, then walks alongside you to identify your preferred future. Exploring
how you have coped with challenging past or present experiences can identify
your strength and resilience you can continue to draw on to endure these times
in a healthy and useful way.  In this
way, rather than leaving a session with an expanded version of the problem, you
can leave with hope to move towards the life you wanted. The solution to a
problem is more likely to be found through discussing the life you would like
to be living in more detail, leading towards the change you seek.  Spending time discussing a hoped for
preferred future can inspire motivation and confidence to bring this about in
reality.
