Beth Ann Lichti Counselling

Description

"Problem talk creates problems - Solution talk creates solutions" ~ Steve de Shazer (1940-2005) Solution-Focused Counselling seeks to uncover, describe, and achieve a client's desired solutions and goals rather than focusing on or analyzing the problems. The quote above, from one of the co-founders of this approach, speaks to this very idea. It has proven to be effective in supporting a variety of concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, discontentment, and relationship issues. This approach is my primary area of interest as a counsellor.
Through the counselling conversations, you, the client, are encouraged to uncover and describe your desired solutions. By identifying and building on the strengths and resources you possess, we can work together towards achieving your goals. Strategies and techniques from other complimentary counselling approaches can be integrated when helpful. Ultimately with less focus and attention on analyzing specific problems, more time and energy can be placed on finding and implementing the solutions that will hopefully move you towards a different, perhaps better and more fulfilling life experience!
