Welcome to the Solution Focused Institute of South Africa.
The Solution Focused Institute of South Africa is owner run by Dr Jacqui von Cziffra-Bergs. The Institute is committed to training psychologists, social workers, counsellors and teachers in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a therapeutic approach that aims at empowering people to find new coping skills and discover a strength-based; outcomes-focused version of themselves. SFBT is a short-term goal-oriented approach that encourages people to build solutions from their strengths; resources and desires, despite difficult circumstances. SFBT is empowering; brief and positive in nature and helps people move to where they want to be.
