Welcome everyone to this talk
on the use of Solution-Focused
Brief Therapy
with Clients who Stammer.
My name is Alison Nicholas,
and I am a specialist,
speech and language therapist
from the Michael Palin Centre
for Stammering,
which is a national specialist centre
for children, young people
and adults who stammer,
based in London.
I have been trained in the use
of the solution-focused
brief therapy approach at Brief,
which is the center for solution-focused
practice in London,
and they have recently
awarded me a certificate
in solution-focused practice.

The solution-focused
brief therapy approach
has been familiar to the therapists
and the Michael Palin Centre
for a number of years now.
And the approaches had
a significant influence
on how we interact with our clients
and solution-focused ideas
play a key role
in our routine assessment
and therapy programs.

What I aim to do during this talk
is to present you with the main
underlying principles of the approach,
I will then talk you through
the typical structure
of a solution-focused
brief therapy session,
and show you
how these underlying principles
are put into practice.
I will also show you
some video clips
to help bring the approach to life.
I will end with talking
about the benefits
of using solution-focused ideas
with clients who stammer.
