ABSTRACT
I moved from Germany to Manila in the Philippines in 2006 and then trained in solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) in 2009. From the very fi rst day of training I felt that SFBT had a signifi cant impact on me, not only professionally but personally. I am an occupational therapist by training and now also do counselling. SFBT fi ts very well with the occupational therapy (OT) model. SFBT also suits the cultural and economic conditions I have observed in the Philippines. In this chapter I will share how SFBT integrates into the OT philosophy and how I use it with clients in the Philippines, and illustrate this with case examples.
