solution revolution
The solution focused (SF) approach is compassionate, powerful, hopeful and
effective. It works with people to achieve their hoped-for change. It places
people as experts in their own their life's, whilst allowing them to build on
their existing strengths and capabilities. It helps them to achieve their
desired outcomes. The SF approach works with people to enable them to have a
clear vision of how they want their life to be, how they would like things to be
different. It's about noticing the presence of what's wanted, rather than the
absence of what's not wanted. The SF approach also encourages people to notice
what’s working already, about confirming that and building on it, and not about
focusing on or analysing the problem. Developed in the 1980’s in Milwaukee, USA,
the SF approach was developed as a model of therapy. However, it is now widely
applied across, health, social care, and educational settings. The SF approach
can be applied in any setting, whether it be an organisation, a community, a
group, a family, parents, or individuals. One of SF’s keys strengths is its
focus on simplicity, which makes it so accessible as well as applicable in so
many settings. About Me As the founder of Solution Revolution, I am passionate
in my belief that the solution focused approach can help anyone. I am a
qualified Solution Focused (SF) Practitioner and social worker, and I've seen
first hand how the SF technique can be used effectively with children, young
people, and their families, to support positive change, no matter how difficult
the situation. For children and young people, it can be applied at all levels of
education, and it can enhance the education experience of every child and their
teachers. As Solution Revolution, I am immensely proud to have worked with most
of the primary and secondary schools across Bath, Bristol and Wiltshire. This
work has ranged from hugely successful one-to-one work, group work, and staff
training. Solution Revolution has a strong, working relationship with the Bath
and North East Somerset Local Authority, and with the Schools Sport Partnership
Board, who I collaborate with on a group work initiative called Active
Solutions. This initiative brings SF and sport together and this is being
delivered in primary schools across Bath. This project is continuing to grow,
and the positive impact on the children involved has been celebrated by their
schools. I am passionate about local community, and have recently expanded my
group work with children and young people. Workshops now include drama and
production, in collaboration with some notable local actors and DJs. I'm a huge
advocate of youth involvement. Alongside organisations such as Boys in Mind,
Girls Mind Too, and the UK Association for Solution Focused Practitioners, we
are working together to ensure young people's voices are heard in schools and in
the community. I am passionate about my work and the results the SF approach can
bring about in people's lives. If you'd like to chat to me about this work, do
