Frequently asked questions
The Outset Mind programme is built on Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), also known as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)—a highly effective, strengths-based, and goal-oriented approach to personal change. This approach sets it apart from traditional therapies in several key ways:
Faster Results, Fewer Sessions SFT is typically brief, often requiring fewer sessions than Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or Psychodynamic Therapy, making it a time-efficient and cost-effective option.
Focus on Strengths and Solutions Instead of dwelling on past trauma or dysfunctional thought patterns, SFT emphasises resilience, strengths, and practical solutions, helping you move forward with confidence.
Deep Integration into the Subconscious A unique feature of the Outset Mind programme is its relaxation download, designed to reinforce solutions at a subconscious level. This allows new beneficial habits to develop naturally, reducing resistance to change—unlike other therapies that rely solely on conscious effort.
By combining the proven effectiveness of SFT with innovative subconscious reinforcement techniques, the Outset Mind programme offers a powerful, practical, and lasting approach to personal transformation.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) has garnered significant attention in the scientific community for its effectiveness across various psychological and medical contexts.
A comprehensive umbrella review of 25 systematic reviews and meta-analyses concluded that SFBT yields significant positive outcomes across diverse issues, settings, and cultural contexts. The evidence is particularly strong for its effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety, enhancing overall mental health, and aiding individuals in positive change.
Scientific research supports SFBT as an effective therapeutic approach for a wide range of psychological and medical challenges. Its strengths-based, goal-oriented methodology distinguishes it from traditional therapies, offering a practical and efficient path to positive change.
