The Details of Solution Focused Coaching
Why Solution Focused
Solution-focused coaching is an approach that focuses on identifying and working towards solutions rather than problems. In context to couples, solution-focused coaching helps partners recognize and build on their strengths, resources, and successes to improve their relationship.
Solution-focused coaching's primary techniques include goals setting, exploring exceptions, and checking in on progress of goals.
Solution-focused coaching is well-suited for couples open to change and looking for a positive, goal-oriented approach. This style encourages clear communication, active listening, and collaboration, making it effective for couples who want to build a stronger connection. Couples can work together to nurture a healthy, thriving relationship focused on strengths, acceptances, and successes.
Time Frame
Solution-focused coaching is no more than 12 sessions, with a targeted goal of 8. This ensures that the focus remains on finding solutions efficiently rather than engaging in lengthy explorations of the past. Group tracks progress and makes adjustments as needed.
The Plan and Homework
Solution-focused coaching does have a plan, again, with a goal of targeting specific skills needed in growth minded relationships.
There will be homework that couples are expected to complete between sessions.
Why Solution Focused
Welcome to my website. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Health Psychologist. While I have worked, and continue to work, as a therapist, I found that I prefer relationship coaching to be more rewarding, more successful, and more fun.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a counseling format that I have used for a decade and believe in and have cultivated it in a coaching format that makes couples work more comfortable.
With my solution-focused relationship coaching, there is no therapy, we will not "process" events from the past, however, as a coach I will offer ideas and coach in healthy communication. I will use psychoeducation techniques that can help you understand your own needs, help you to communicate those needs, that reinforce acceptance of each other, and that encourage cheerleading for your partner.
Marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on an imperfect relationship.
