Solution Focused Coaching Cards

What is Solution Focused approach?

Solution Focused is future-focused, goal-directed, and centres on solutions, rather than on the problem. It places focus on a person's present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences.

It helps the individual to identify exceptions to the problem and then find possible solutions that work independently of the cause of the problem, it aims to help people experiencing difficulty find tools they can use immediately to manage symptoms and cope with challenges, is grounded in the belief that although individuals may already have the skills to create change in their lives, they often need help identifying and developing those skills.

The individual is encouraged to think of what has worked in the past, to identify possible solutions and it is hoped that these can be applied to the issue in hand.

Our Let's talk cards ask the right questions to guide the individual in identifying these solutions.

They can be used with young people and adults.
