Reinforced knowledge of brief focus therapy. I learnt new skills and practical advice was given!
Social Worker for YOT & EDT
This course has given support to a number of approaches we currently use within our work. It has also provided me with the opportunity to consider new ways to support the young people I work with – this includes new tools and techniques that I will incorporate into my work to help pupils with more complex needs. Excellent training sessions – well planned and presented. Mawuli was an engaging facilitator whose use of “real-world” examples demonstrated the effectiveness of this Approach.

Feedback from the Personalised Education for adolescents with Aspergers Syndrome paper by Kevin Foley: Talking about everything falling into place!! All teachers should have a copy of your paper. Because of your paper, my son has now had the pressure taken off him regarding homework, exams etc – this has relieved him of considerable stress. Now there is more of a focus on providing an environment and a level of work he can cope with to help him develop his real potential not just focus on academic areas. Thank you for giving me a picture of where my son was at – you have clarified the picture.

SFBT working will change the way I approach work with young people and families. We often focus on the client’s “problems” and how to “solve” them but SFBT emphasises working in partnership with clients to identify what is working well for them. I particularly liked The Change Balloon, Monitoring Sheets and the “Notice Board”.
