What is Brief Psychotherapy?
Brief Psychotherapy is an umbrella term for a variety of approaches to short-term, solution-oriented Psychotherapy.
It describes an approach that attempts to make Psychotherapy as efficient and practically helpful as possible within a short time frame.
Brief Therapy differs from other schools of therapy in that it emphasises (1) a focus on a specific problem and (2) direct, experiential intervention.
In Brief Therapy, we work proactively together as a team to create the change you want and need. It also emphasises the use of your resources as well as new ideas, concepts, skills, tools and perspectives.
Brief Therapy is often highly strategic, exploratory and solution-based rather than problem-oriented. It is less concerned with why a problem arose than with the current factors sustaining it and preventing change. Focusing on ‘how’ you generate an uncomfortable and unhelpful experience rather than ‘why’.
Brief therapists do not adhere to one ‘correct’ approach, but have a flexible personalised way of working with clients.
