We
want solutions for our troubled client, and we want the
solutions to last.
The solution approach to counselling is recognised as one
of the most effective methods of assisting clients to
resolve their problems and create their own individual
solutions. It builds on the ground-breaking contributions
of Milton Erickson, Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and
Bill O'Hanlon.
Even after a client finds a solution that is effective,
concerns remain - will they act on it; will it happen, will
it last?
Problems often capture our attention and take over clients'
experience, blinding them to their solutions, or even the
possibility of a solution.
In this workshop we will explore simple and effective ways
of connecting clients with the
experience of
their solutions, moving them past the idea, the hope, the
wish of a resolution.
We will learn through lecture, demonstration and supervised
practice the steps that will assist
clients
to focus on useful experiences - past, present and future
to make richly textured connections with these experiences
to assist the client to absorb and own the experiences of
their solutions
to learn how to shift their focus from problem to solution
so they can own their solutions and take them into their
own lives outside the counselling
setting.
Because the workshop will be practical and experiential,
participants will be able to translate their learning into
their clinical practice in a natural and effective manner.
