It is founded in the belief that although individuals may already have the skills to create change in their lives, they often need help recognising and developing those skills.

SFBT incorporates techniques and interventions from positive psychology principles and practices, and facilitates change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems.  SFBT is a hope friendly and positive emotion eliciting as well as future-oriented approach that focuses on creating and sustaining desired behavioural change. SFBT can be used to treat a wide range of issues.
