This thesis will be made up of three parts, namely the Literature Review, the Empirical Paper and the Critical Appraisal. Part 1 will aim to critically explore the research pertaining to Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and its application within educational psychology (EP) practice, with reference to use with children and young people, and will go on to introduce the research questions in relation to this piece of research. Part 2, the Empirical Paper, will provide a detailed account of the process that was followed in order to explore the research questions relating to SFBT. The methodology and results will be presented and discussed in terms of relevance to the literature as well as relevance to EP practice. Part 3, the Critical Appraisal, will aim to provide a reflective and reflexive account of the research process. The first part will focus on the contribution to knowledge gained from the research project. The second part will include a critical account of the research practitioner and will include a personal reflection on the journey that the researcher undertook throughout the research process.
