A Social Workers Podcast

In todays episode of A Social Workers Podcast, we take a dive into Solution Focused Therapy. We explore some of the core techniques used in this approach to therapy, as well as talking about the core concept of this approach, which is that the client is the expert on their own life and problems. A therapist is there to help and support the client, but the client is the true driving force behind everything we do.  If you have any question on the topic of Solution Focused Therapy, or have any feedback on the show, please feel free to reach out to me at: [email protected]
