Abstract: Abstract In the 1980s and 1990s, brief counselling, especially solution-focused brief counselling, challenged many of the assumptions of earlier theories and models. These earlier models have emphasised that real change was only possible when clients fully understand the true nature of their problems. Solution-focused counselling offers new ways of thinking about counselling, because this model focuses on the potentials rather than the weaknesses or limitations of the clients. The collaborative nature of solution-focused counselling reinforces a sense of autonomy and equality in counselling for ethnic minority clients.
