An Introduction to the Solution Focused Approach

Wednesday 18 February 2026
9am - 12noon

Online Workshop

The Solution Focused Approach is currently a leading method in leadership, coaching, education, and counselling throughout the world. The principles of the Solution Focused approach are simple to understand and easily mastered with practice - it has been likened to learning a language. Participants will gain skills and knowledge that can be immediately applied to their context or environment. At the heart of Solution focused practice is the belief that change is possible in people’s lives, and change is happening all the time. When a client is asked to notice that change it amplifies it makes a difference to the client. It is a great pleasure and honour to walk with clients during this process.
