Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the 1980s.
After spending their early years in the field studying problem patterns at the Mental Research Institute (MRI) and how to intervene and interrupt the problem in the client’s life, De Shazer and Berg decided to make a change. Eventually, Steve and Insoo moved from California to Milwaukee with the intent of forming the “MRI of the Midwest”. This geographical shift eventually led to a shift in their psychotherapeutic perspective as they began to investigate client exceptions and resources instead of problems. They also started focusing on the client's hope for the future instead of the problem story. These two simple ideas - exceptions and future focus, remain hallmarks of the Solution Focused Approach.
SFBT has evolved over the years and now has enough scientific study to be recognised as an evidence-based approach that is effective at helping clients from any background and with various presenting problems. Widespread research shows effectiveness in 65-83% of cases in an average of 4-5 sessions.
SFBT is a radical approach to helping clients that asks them to focus their attention on the future they would like to design and create rather than continuing to focus on other problem-related concerns. This language-based approach encourages practitioners to view each client as resourceful and competent while they co-construct (work with) their clients to move forward into the life they would like to live. SFBT professionals ask detail-oriented questions that get clients thinking in new and more adaptive ways. After engaging in change-oriented conversations, many clients report feeling warmly understood and empowered to use their agency and autonomy to make necessary changes in their lives that align with their desired outcome for therapy. This respectful and collaborative approach doesn’t further traumatise clients or require them to wade through heartache and pain. Instead, SFBT helps clients expand their vision of who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing.
Today, many different varieties of this approach are being practised all around the world in many different fields. However, the common threads of focusing on the future and the client exceptions while harnessing their strengths and resources remain.

Havening Techniques®
The Havening Techniques are a rapid, gentle and effective approach for helping people overcome anxiety-based problems. Distressing feelings such as intermittent panic, stress from trauma, chronic pain, fears, depression, addictions and other related issues are amenable to Havening. In addition, Havening Touch helps develop states of emotional well-being and resiliency.
Exciting discoveries in the mind /body interface produce new and profound changes in our thinking and practice. Until recently, three pillars were utilized to treat disease and create resilience. These pillars are surgical intervention, medications and psychotherapeutics. These concepts have helped millions of people and saved untold lives. With the advent of sophisticated instruments, scientists are now able to begin to peer into the unbelievably complex world of the brain and, for the first time, see activity in real-time. The Havening Techniques utilizes this information to develop protocols that allow for internal regulation of our systems without the introduction of external measures — a fourth pillar. The brain is an electro-chemical-magnetic organ. Pharmaceuticals address the chemical imbalance, and as long as the drug is in the system, its’ effects are present. Havening harnesses the electrical side and, through a simple protocol, introduces delta waves into the mind/body system. Delta waves are very special in that they are normally absent during awake hours and are primarily present during sleep when thoughts are stored. The mind/body holds memories. Sometimes, these memories create symptoms, and the use of an electroceutical (something that causes an effect due to an electrical wave) can alter those encoded ideas and remove their effect from our system. This removal changes both the underlying stressor and the individual’s response.
Havening Touch is applied to the hands, shoulders and face. This touch, either self-applied or carried out by a facilitator, introduces these slow wave currents (delta) affecting different brain parts, changing their structure and function. Interestingly, the client can self-haven when in between sessions, giving the client a sense of self-care. The capacity to have control of one’s behaviour is empowering.
Touch, the most ancient language, is resurrected to a proper status with a new vocabulary for healing and health. Havening is a highly effective approach to optimal performance for individuals and companies.
