It is an approach that focuses not on the cause of the problem but on when and how the solution occurs.

Developed by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. The rationale: “If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Find what works and do more of it.”

Philosophy and Core Assumptions: Talking about the problem magnifies the problem; talking about the solution magnifies the solution. The client is the expert on their own life. Small change triggers large change.

Benefits: It shortens the counselling process, releases the client from the cycle of blame, and teaches how to assign concrete homework.

In the training, these topics will be explored further through case simulations and role-play. We look forward to welcoming all colleagues.

  • Core solution-focused philosophy and principles
  • The miracle question, exception questions and scaling techniques
  • Change skills within 6-8 sessions
  •  Case examples and practical exercises

Psychological Counsellor Hilal ALKAN, MSc

I was born in Mardin in 1993. I completed my primary and secondary education in Istanbul. In 2016 I graduated from the Guidance and Psychological Counselling programme at Hacettepe University as a "High Honours Student". Between 2017 and 2019 I completed the Master's Programme with Thesis in Guidance and Psychological Counselling at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University, earning my master's degree with the research study "An Examination of the Relationship Between High School Students' Social Achievement Goals and Levels of Peer Bullying". I work in child and adolescent counselling, career counselling, university preference consultancy and as a school psychological counsellor. I have also met with university students as a visiting lecturer teaching Human Behaviour, Community Service Practices and Career Planning. I have taken part in UNICEF and Doka projects and delivered training within them.

I continually pursue further training in order to better understand children, adolescents and families and to support parents. My aim is to open up the best possible paths in the field of mental health for our children and young people, for mothers and fathers and for our society, to offer alternatives and to provide guidance.

I currently work in child and adolescent counselling while continuing my professional career as a specialist psychological counsellor.

Participants who complete the training receive a "certificate of attendance" from Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University.

An 80% attendance requirement must be met during the training.
