Solution Focused Therapy Training
The impact of the training? – the revision and increased knowledge and understanding of Solution Focused practice, increased awareness of focusing on the positive in people and how resourceful they often are – versus – pathologising! I intend to introduce, more than I do, the positive focus in the process of change.
Psychiatrist for Epsom Community Drug & Alcohol Team in Epsom
The training has given me a basis of a more positive way of working with people – empowering them and less likely to allow counsellor dependancy. I will use the tools to enhance my one to one and couples work – more positive and affirming of client’s competencies.

The training gave me some good skills and ideas which were easy to put into a practical setting. I am already using exercises in Groupwork and 1:1
Practioner for Genesis Project in London
A confirmation that the positive approach to solutions does work. The need not to focus on the problem. I will be using the approach to enable parents to set goals to bring about change to break cycles.

The training offered refocusing of work undertaken and confirmation of good practice.
Senior Practitioner for Genesis Project in London
The training has clarified skills and strategies I have used previously as well as informing me of new ways of engaging with young people to help them find better ways of dealing with situations they face. The principals of Groupwork facilitation outlined were particularly helpful, e.g. “challenge the offence without losing the offender”. This approach will be a great help in my work. I expect the skills I have learnt will help me in managing difficult Groupwork in schools more effectively and for the benefit of the young people.
Senior Practitioner for The Children's Society in London
The training encouraged evaluation of work with young people at present – and possible new intervention/skills to incorporate.
Team Member for Barnet Impact in London
The impact the training had was to highlight the need to look to the future rather than dwell on the past. It has energised me.

benefited from learning about how to keep the sessions forward thinking. I found the scaling exercise and balloon drawing useful as direct tools which could be applied. I enjoyed the course and benefited from learning this way of working.
