Welcome to the Solution Focused Institute of South Africa

The Solution Focused Institute of South Africa is owner managed by Dr Jacqui von Cziffra-Bergs. The Institute is committed to training psychologists, social workers, counsellors, teachers and support staff in Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that aims at empowering people to find new coping skills and discover a strength-based; outcomes-focused version of themselves. Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a short-term goal-oriented approach to psychotherapy that encourages a client to build solutions in the present and to explore future hopes by utilising their strengths, resources and desires, despite difficult circumstances.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is empowering and positive in nature and helps people move toward a state of where they want to be. Solution Focused Brief Therapy emphasizes a client’s strengths and resources to build solutions and achieve desired outcomes.
