Additional Approaches In Counselling

Solution Focused Approach

Dr. deShazer's Solution Focused approach helps to shift emphasis off your problems and complaints and onto solutions by using such things as the "miracle questions," "exception questions," and scaling questions. Examples of scaling questions are:
  1. How important is it for you to make these changes (scale of 1 to 10)?
  2. How willing are you to work at it?
Consistent with finding your hope, a key aspect in this approach is to connect the present to a more positive future and ignore the past for the most part. In some cases only a small change is needed to produce a ripple effect. We bring to the forefront the concepts of:
  1. Possible instead of perfect
  2. How will you know this change is useful?
