Strengths-Based Approach
()A strengths-based approach is a therapeutic framework that focuses on identifying, amplifying, and using an individual’s existing strengths, resources, and capacities rather than centring on deficits or problems. It assumes that people are resilient, capable, and have valuable skills and experiences that can support change. In practice, this approach encourages clients to recognise their abilities, successes, cultural and personal assets, and support networks, using these as foundations for coping and growth. By empowering clients and promoting autonomy, a strengths-based approach fosters hope, motivation, and a more positive sense of identity.
