Delegate Evaluations for Brief Therapy Courses

The training gave me a different approach to working with certain young people who are hard to engage. It has made me relaise the importance and power of language.

Very useful in Primary Care where we only have 6 weeks to work with people. Problems cannot always be solved in that time so empowerment to continue independently is important. Very engaging course.

I will now ask detailed questions about “exceptions when coping with difficulties” I will always be curious about how a person copes. I could use the Silent Session with a client if they find it difficult to discuss their problem. I found this training extremely uplifting, focusing on the client’s future and on how they could make a move forward, however small. I think this would be a great start for some clients who are experiencing chaotic lifestyles – giving them confidence to use their own coping strategies.

I thought this was the most useful, inspiring and exciting training course I have ever been on. I am an SFBT fan and cannot wait to use my new tools and skills with families. I thought there was a good balance of teaching and practical learning in the course and that Eileen was a captivating and motivational trainer.

This training is not only useful for professional development – it is also a good team building experience and an opportunity for participants to explore their own personal goals.

This is the best 3 day’s training I have had in my 26 year career. Dramatic I know but the programme is so easy to adopt. I have been using the system for 2 years since I completed a 1 day training course with Eileen Murphy so to have the luxury of 3 days with her to confirm my confidence in the approach and to top up my skills with new innovative ways of helping young people move forward – was just brilliant for me.

Michelle Rafferty

Allowed me to rethink my approach to clinical work – great refresher plus lots of new stuff. One of the most engaging speakers you will ever hear!!!!

Rob Black

The training has given me really good examples of questions to use to help facilitate an individual to come to their own resolution or actions to make change. A refreshing training session!

Janice Hawley

Has already affected my work – talking more about positive experiences, feel more able to empower people to help them make their own decisions and recognise their strengths. Very useful. Engaging and inspirational speaker.

Karen Antrobus

It will be very good to explore this approach with the team with a view to adopting key elements of it. An excellent model for working with vulnerable people. Great presentation style, a lovely breath of fresh air!

Ruth Roberts

The training was great – I already use analogies but will use them more. I have focused on exceptions today in an appointment already. I like the idea of “future talk” and “visualisation”. I enjoyed the day very much it was interesting and enjoyable. Eileen is informative and entertaining.
