Introduction
Refocussing, developed by Dr Diane Divett from Auckland, New Zealand, is an integration of psychology, theology and counselling theories and practices. Diane developed a comprehensive ‘seven foci system’ designed to focus on ‘needs’ in all dimensions (cognitive, emotional, social, economic, recreational, spiritual, moral, environmental/geographical, career/job.
Refocussing is applicable to an individual (child, adolescent, adult), couple, family, group or organisation. The goal of Refocussing is to: (1) Focus on and identify when, where & how unmet needs may have become problematic, interfering with development across the life span; and then to (2) refocus, by employing ‘God Spaces’ to activate healing, resources and resolution for the problems.

Everyone
Refocussing counselling, coaching or awareness, helps people learn skills to develop and enhance their relationships. Problems often arise because of what we observed and learned in our earlier relationships. Unless these problems are dealt with, they are highly likely to affect the way we think, feel and behave in the present & future. Refocussing skills provide effective ways to deal with problems so focus on solutions, growth, cohesion and intimacy can be achieved.

God Spaces®
‘God Spaces’ is central to Refocussing, providing people with a way to bring their faith into their healing, awareness, counselling or life coaching process. Not only does God Spaces enable people to find where God is for each person, but also, to be able to actually experience God, and then describe, by using one’s own language, symbols, and metaphors what God is showing, telling or giving people, in order to receive his empowering healing, resources, and resolution for their needs.
