Language creates reality, rather than describes it. - Steve de Shazer

SFBT invites you to consider what you hope for, the positive difference you would like to see in your life, then walks alongside you to identify your preferred future.  In this way, rather than leaving a session with an expanded version of the problem, you can leave with hope to move towards the life you wanted. 

You will be invited to explore what you want, rather than what you do not want.  Instead of spending time considering how or why a problem occurred, something most people have spent much time reflecting on already, SFBT starts the journey towards a discussion on what you wanted in life rather than the problem. The solution to a problem is more likely to be found through discussing the life you would like to be living in more detail, leading towards the change you seek. Spending time discussing a hoped for preferred future can inspire motivation and confidence to bring this about in reality.

It's not about solving your problem, 

it's about inspiring your heart to move towards what is desired becoming reality.

- Elliott Connie

Kerry was great and I've come a long way since working with her. It was useful having an experienced and objective opinion to remind me that I'm not crazy!! I really noticed the weeks when I didn't see her.

Kerry helped me to work through the process of making an important decision that would affect the rest of my life. Two years on I am confident that I have made the best choice for me and I am at peace with, and stand firm in my decision. Kerry helped me see my self worth and that I need to do what is right for ME. I will always be grateful for the essential role Kerry played in helping me shape my future.

I consulted with Kerry from the Midvale office. I had never seen a Counsellor before and she made me feel very comfortable. She was very caring and understanding towards the problems I was experiencing. She helped me understand what was important to me, what I wanted to achieve and how to go about it in a positive way. She also encouraged me to see things from all perspectives which was a wonderful eye opener and a huge help. I gained so much from the sessions I had with Kerry and I would highly recommend her to others.
