I first came across the solution-focused approach whilst working as a behaviour support teacher with young people who had been permanently excluded from school. Often for the first time, these young people were having optimistic conversations about their behaviour where they were able to build on times they’d managed well and where the goals they chose to work towards were meaningful to them. I saw straight away that it works and is energising and empowering. I’ve since developed how I use solution focused communication in my work with children with additional support needs and their families, and as a counsellor I use solution-focused brief therapy as a stand alone model or a tool within an integrated approach. I’m looking forward to developing this work as part of Zebra Solutions.
