Solution Focused Therapy Training
I have been encouraged to be more curious and will view myself as a conduit between an individual and any goals they identify. I will also use “reframing” – I found this so beneficial.
Rural Support Worker, Domestic Abuse Service for CDAS in Wales
This training gave me a lot of useful information in order to re-evaluate the way in which I practice. It is all too easy to focus on the negatives when supporting people in crisis, however, a few simple changes can enable and empower service users to re-focus on the end goal. Eileen made this training extremely interesting and fun – I learnt a lot and am really thankful.
Domestic Abuse Caseworker for CDAS in Wales
I have now realized that the past is not an essential tool to engage with women we work with. I had never realized how effective positive language was before this training. Many women I work are clearly focused on all the bad points of their lives and I can now turn the conversation around so that they start telling me about where they want to be rather than only where they have been.
Eileen was absolutely fantastic! Her enthusiasm kept me interested in everything that she was saying – it was unlike any training I have ever done before.
Domestic Abuse Key Worker (Refuge) for CDAS in Wales
I liked the technique of identifying the positive behaviour in the person and focusing on that, questioning them about resources they use within themselves to achieve this: “being curious”. Eileen as a trainer was absolutely fabulous – I can’t compliment her enough – I was focused for every minute of the whole three days. Fantastic, a very memorable three days training.

The training has offered me a way to approach member and staff conversations in a focused and positive way. Eileen is a supremely skilled trainer.
Regional Manager for Blind Veterans UK in London
I have learnt to be more curious and will consider the value of language used, in terms of negating negativity. My approach will be to consider small, manageable steps to encourage engagement and to build up members’ confidence and/or self esteem to support progress and move on. I am more aware of the benefits of active listening to open up conversations and the different methods of evaluation.
Community Support Worker for Blind Veterans UK in Preston, Lancashire
The training will be extremely helpful when visiting members at home during difficult situations, especially when it is a challenge to make a connection or when there is an issue which the member feels uncomfortable to discuss openly. Eileen was inspiring throughout the training – I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to attend this 3 day training.
Community Support Worker for Blind Veterans UK in Brighton
The approach will really help us to support the team when we have members with challenging behaviour. I love the idea of “Good intent”, Reframing and Scaling. The Change Balloon exercise I also found invaluable and a useful tool in deciding those small changes. Creative, enthusiastic, knowledgable trainer.
Centre Manager for Blind Veterans UK in Brighton
A positive and useful framework to help bring about change for members. This range of tools will aid all teams to help people plan and develop new approaches to coping and making small, important changes. Engaging, enjoyable, informative.

The training will help me refocus my leadership style, approach to 1-1 Supervision and Veteran service planning. The training was excellent.
