Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
As the name suggests, it is about being brief and focusing on solutions, rather than on problems. "We discovered that problems do not happen all the time. Even the most chronic problems have periods or times when the difficulties do not occur or are less intense. By studying these times when problems are less severe or even absent, we discovered that people do many positive things that they are not fully aware of. By bringing these small successes into their awareness and repeating the successful things they do when the problem is less severe, and people improve their lives and become more confident about themselves." - Insoo Kim Berg Dan uses the Solution Focused approach to highlight your strengths in helping you to discover your own ability to overcome the problem. "I spend maybe 20% of the session discussing the problem and 80% discussing the solution." - Dan McGann |

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
This is a gold standard - evidence based approach to assisting individuals with their probems, anxieties, phobia's and fears. Dan teaches cognitive (thinking) and behavioural strategies to confront the negative unrealistic thoughts and behaviours that fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) creates. Dan teaches a specific approach of understanding what you can do with your body, your habits of attention/focus and logical questions that help you create new meaning in your life. |
