Solution Focused Therapy Training
“A very positive affect on my work. Support will be focused with specific targets – empowering families and enabling them to become independent, confident and motivated to continue to make positive change”.
Support Worker, Disabled Children Team for Rhondda Cynon Taf Council in Aercynon, Wales
“Brings positivity to the fore. Empowering and it gives the victim the advantage over the perpetrator. Excellent, vibrant, useful and productive – a life skill”.
Victim Support Co-ordinator for Living Options in Exeter
“Big impact – loved it! Loved Eileen’s humour and personality in the delivery of the training. I recently attended Systemic Family Therapy training which totally confused me with so many theories. Solution Focused is straight forward, adaptable, it can be individualised alongside really useful tools – all practical. As a practitioner, Solution Focused working encourages the client’s voice to be heard and acted on. It stops the situation for becoming bigger and escalating”.

I feel I have taken a lot from the training personally. Professionally, I have gained new tools and skills that I will be able to put into practice during the one-to-one sessions that I run with participants. I feel I have a different approach to my usual way of working now – rather than be the fixer.
Community Engagement Worker for Rhondda Cynon Taf in Wales
I feel this training has given me focus on how to deliver my sessions. I feel much more confident in my work now. Both Eileen and Mawuli were fantastic – I didn’t feel like I was on training yet I walked away from it learning so much. In all my years of education and training, I don’t feel like I’ve ever absorbed so much and I know exactly how I’m going to use the training.

Content fantastic! It has made me evaluate my professional and personal life. Delivery was superb, thought provoking. I will certainly be using the tools on my one to work work. Thank you for an excellent day.
Project Worker for Parenting Matters in West Glamorgan
Eileen Murphy Consultants delivered two training days for fifty-one East Lothian secondary staff. On a scale of one to ten 95% of delegates rated the training- “a perfect ten”. The trainer has the personality and skill to engage the most difficult, “hard-bitten”, secondary teachers. By the end of each session all participants were enthusiastic and keen to try out solution focused approaches in all aspects of their work from the classroom to whole school staff meetings. The solution focused approach is a method which changes the emphasis from dwelling on the problem to finding a positive way forward. It is a system which can involve parents, teachers and pupils working together in a non-threatening way where everyone feels valued and has an equal contribution to make. Dunbar Grammar School is aiming to give all of its staff-from the janitors to the headteacher- an awareness of solution focused approaches with a view to becoming a “Solution Focused School”.
Assistant Headteacher for Dunbar Grammar School in East Lothian
Has advanced my skills and will reduce work time with this more positive approach. Excellent training, best ever.
Support Worker for RCTCBC in Wales
This training will allow me to undertake direct work sessions more effectively with clients. It has allowed me to see that it is not just the problem that I need to know but how we see the solution. It has given me skills to work with people who are reluctant to engage. The whole course was fantastic, as was Eileen.
Senior Project Worker for RCTCBC in Wales
Absolutely brilliant training that will affect complete change in my approach and work. I am determined to adopt this as the main approach for our team which has been set up to reduce the numbers of children coming into the care system.
