BRIEF: Therapy and Coaching

BRIEF (formerly BRIEF Therapy Press/BRIEF London) is the world's leading independent centre for Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), coaching, and clinical training. Founded in London in 1989 by Chris Iveson, Evan George, and Harvey Ratner, BRIEF has played a pivotal role in refining, teaching, and shaping solution-focused practice globally across health, education, social care, and corporate sectors. The portal serves as an extensive open-access repository featuring clinical blog insights, video resources, the "A–Z of Solution-Focused Practice" educational series, and detailed course frameworks for practitioners. BRIEF is renowned for simplifying and evolving original SFBT methodologies—pioneering core conversational constructs such as "Best Hopes" framing and the "Tomorrow Question." The organization offers internationally recognized certificate programs, clinical supervision models, and in-service training delivered across more than 20 countries. By equipping practitioners with minimalist, outcome-oriented dialogue techniques that build on client strengths rather than problem analysis, this digital portal serves as an essential open educational resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, social workers, clinical psychologists, executive coaches, and healthcare professionals studying brief therapeutic interventions and strengths-based practice.
