CPD Workshop - Solution Focused Brief Therapy; 10th March 2012
The workshop will be delivered by Martyn Lloyd MBACP (Accred), Diploma in Group Counselling, Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling.
Martyn has worked for almost 25 years in a wide range of counselling settings in the private, public and voluntary sectors. He has taught counselling to Foundation Degree level and is an experienced workshop presenter.
Martyn currently works at Brunel University in West London, providing counselling to students and staff. Whilst many of the settings in which he has worked have demanded a time-limited approach, Martyn would describe himself as a brief therapist by choice rather than necessity. He believes that a counselling approach that is based on economy (rather than rationing) is inherently respectful of clients.
This workshop offers a brief introduction and overview of the key interventions of Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) —an approach developed initially by Steve de Shazer and his wife Insoo Kim Berg at their therapy centre in Milwaukee, USA.
Contrary to common belief the model was not developed in response to demands for time-limited therapy, but was derived from close observation and recording of those interventions that clients found most helpful. More of a method than a theory, SFBT has become a popular model not only in the world of therapy, but in related fields such as coaching.
The workshop aims to provide participants with practical skills and offers opportunities for the observation, practise and discussion of the principal interventions of SFBT. Handouts and resources for further learning will be provided.
