Bringing Solution-Focused Practice to Life.

At Solutions Centre, we know that meaningful change often begins with a good conversation—one that helps people discover what they want, what is already working, and what might be possible.

Through our international training programs and workshops, we invite professionals to become curious about the people they work with: their hopes, strengths, resources, and the small signs of progress that can easily be overlooked.

We work with psychologists, educators, healthcare professionals, counselors, social workers, leaders, and organizations that want to create respectful, collaborative, and hopeful conversations.

Our work is deeply inspired by Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer. They taught us to meet the person, not the problem; listen carefully for possibilities; and recognize the strengths and resources people can draw on to move forward.

Sometimes, one small step is enough to begin something different.

What Guides Us.

Meaningful change often begins in surprisingly small ways: a different question, a moment of careful listening, or noticing something that is already working.

At Solutions Centre, our work is guided by five principles:

  • Meeting people with respect and genuine curiosity
  • Welcoming different perspectives and possibilities
  • Noticing what works — and doing more of it
  • Discovering strengths, resources, and abilities
  • Recognizing and building on small signs of progress

We don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes, one good question, one new perspective, or one small step can open the door to something much bigger.

International Training Courses.

Practical, evidence-informed training for professionals who want to make a difference through their conversations, relationships, and everyday practice.

Solutions Centre offers international training courses in Solution-Focused Practice, bringing together professionals from mental health, education, healthcare, social services, child protection, leadership, and community settings.

Our participants include psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, family therapists, educators, healthcare professionals, managers, and leaders worldwide.

Our Training Programs

We offer foundational courses, advanced training, masterclasses, lectures, and university teaching. For organizations, professional teams, and educational institutions, we also design tailor-made programs that reflect participants’ learning goals, professional experience, and working environments.

Drawing on many years of clinical practice, training, and international teaching, our programs combine professional expertise with an engaging, collaborative, and highly interactive approach.

Learning Through Experience

Our training is practical from the start. Participants explore Solution-Focused ideas and develop skills they can apply immediately in their own professional settings.

Through live demonstrations, real cases, interactive exercises, reflection, and dialogue, participants experience Solution-Focused Practice in action. They have opportunities to practise new skills, receive feedback, and discover how to adapt what they learn to their own work.

Learning Across Borders

International exchange is an important part of our approach. Learning alongside colleagues from different professions, organizations, and cultures brings fresh perspectives, encourages curiosity, and creates opportunities for professional connection and collaboration.

Participants leave with practical tools, greater confidence, fresh ideas, and new ways of having conversations that make a difference.

Over Solutions Centre.
