Based on my experience, I at Mayfair Counselling believe that all individuals have strengths and that with effective intervention can often be empowered to find their own solutions. Further, due to the complexity of family life, I also believe that a brief therapy service is beneficial to most. Solution focused, change oriented and intensive sessions are provided. Hence, services generally entail 6-8 sessions over a 3-6 month period.
Brief therapy is a model that focuses on solutions and encourages clients to do more of what works and less of what doesn't. Used in the treatment of individuals, couples and families, it is a model that appreciates and utilizes resources and ideas the client brings that may facilitate change. It provides a context that opens possibilities for new ways of looking at difficulties and building solutions. I employ this model in the context of clinical expertise and knowledge of a variety of interactional and systemic theories, culminating in an integrative approach. I am proud of the success rate at Mayfair Counselling Services.
