Description

This course aims to introduce you to the principles of SFT/SFBT in a way that gives you a firm grasp of them and enables you to use them in a safe and helpful way. You should become at home with the approach which is often seen as a 'breath of fresh air' both to client and professional, looking to empower their clients and help them find effective solutions for problems, rather than being sucked further and further into analysing and discussing the problem itself.

The APT has mastered the delivery of SFT/SFBT training 'online anytime'; providing top class training you can access right now or any time that suits you. No longer do you have to wait for 'the start date' of the course.

"This course gives clear explanation and examples of SF therapy. The materials are provided in small easily palatable chunks for better absorption and presented in logical manner. The exercises given, while optional, are very helpful to reflect on what we have learned and how we can apply it in real life situation."

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFT/SFBT) training from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), includes APT accreditation, certification, and resources. And the APT has perfected the art of delivering it in a way that makes it appear simple and easy to apply.

"Great training, really interesting and well structured."

With a wealth of clinical experience, Dr William Davies presents the course with relevant stories and examples of using SFT and an engaging lightness which perfectly complements the positive, constructive and empowering nature of the therapy.


 

"I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. The way in which is was delivered was excellent and I feel I've learnt a lot. Thank you!"

This course gives you a thorough introduction to SFT/SFBT, it is APT-accredited, and gives you access to important resources for you to use post-course. Whether you simply want to broaden your knowledge or become a committed SFT practitioner, this course is for you. The course can be studied by teams or individuals and can also be completed as part of The APT Diploma in Psychological Therapies.

Objectives

Solution-Focused Therapy can seem a refreshingly easy therapy to conduct, and to be the recipient of. This is because many of its techniques capitalise on circuits in the brain that already exist. Utilising these, rather than trying to develop new circuits by discussion and experimentation, often achieves results that are rapid, fundamental, and stable.

This course therefore teaches the principles and practice of Solution-Focused Therapy in a way that delegates can - and will want to - use with their own caseload.

 

What this online course will do for you:

  • You will know about Solution-Focused Therapy: what it is and is not.

  • You will be able to fundamentally re-phrase problems so that they are not only solvable, but exciting to solve.
  • You will understand why (for example) that the harder one looks for happiness the less happy one becomes, the more one tries to stop worrying the more worried one becomes, and so on.
  • You will know better what to do with patients you are currently unable to make progress with.
  • You will know about 're-framing', why so many people rave about it, and how to do it.
  • You will know how to 'dissolve' the resistance that some patients have about tackling their problems, and give them a framework that motivates and relaxes them.
  • You will know why it is so important to spot 'problem-free' times and places, and how to utilise those.
  • You will be introduced to the miracle question and other powerful questions that move a person forward quickly.
  • You will know how to give a person a sense of direction and hope for the future.
  • You will know how to capitalise on what you have learned on the course.

The course didn’t pressurise me. On the contrary, it encouraged me to learn steadily and I found that this helped me to put into practice what I’ve learnt, solidifying that learning. I found the course tutor’s language made the course accessible. His calm wording and tone meant that the course wasn’t a chore, but could be used for relaxation.

1st half of the course was packed with some great info, feels like the 2nd half was trying hard to flesh it out. I enjoyed the additional resources you've added + links to videos. Also found the structure of a session to be hugely helpful - having basic stuff like that is great for those learning this as their first therapy course. Exam questions were very poorly worded. Either the answers were too obvious, you didn't need to take the course to answer them or the question is worded in an odd way so there's 2 answers that are half right.

I found the course to be carefully planned out, significantly interesting and relevant, and easy enough to understand. What I liked the most is the ability to put the method into practice alongside completing the training, in fact it was encouraged! This really helped to embed my knowledge. The slides were informative and engaging and the teaching professional. I look forward to further developing my new skills - thank you!
