We are here for you.
We provide 1-to-1 Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for individuals who exhibit symptoms of common mental health problems. Through SFBT, we aim to empower service users to recognise their strengths and resources, and together, we explore appropriate coping strategies to overcome difficulties in life and achieve their goals. Service users and our mental health practitioners will formulate goals and care plans collaboratively. Individuals who may benefit more from other services will receive relevant signposting in the assessment.
The psychological support we offer may be suitable for you if you:
- Exhibit symptoms of common mental health problems (e.g. depression and anxiety)
- Want to achieve a particular goal / overcome a particular problem but lack the motivation or feel lost about where and how to start
- Want to set goals and identify solutions to tackle problems in life
- Still experience psychological distress when psychosocial needs are being supported or fulfilled
