Solution Focused Therapy Training
Attending the training has really encouraged me to think in a new way – I will be able to utilize these strategies and resources within my Parenting Assessments and Family Support. I think that I can now take a more proactive route in supporting clients to make change, feel ownership and look for their own solutions.

I will incorporate Reframing, Change Balloon and Scaling into my practice – but its more than that: my outlook has changed to strengths based practice. I found both trainers very inspiring – they used their depth of knowledge in a friendly and approachable way. They were accommodating but made sure that everyone completed the work!
Social Worker/Parenting Assessor for Warwickshire County Council in Warwickshire
The training has given me new language and strategies to use with the families that I work with, in a relaxed approach. The training was so helpful in that it felt like it was full of various different creative ways of working in “the real world”.
I absolutely loved the training and the trainers. It was very inspiring.
Family Support Worker, Strengthening Families for Warwickshire County Council in Warwickshire
I work primarily with Polish families. In spite of my initial worries, it became apparent very quickly that the language of change is universal and, except for small adjustments that take into account cultural differences, I can use the training in my work straight away.
The training was fantastic – I was kept engaged throughout. It shifted my perspective, not only at work but also my everyday life. Thank you Eileen and Mawuli for the best training I have ever been to!
Social Care Worker for Warwickshire County Council in Warwickshire
I found the training extremely “hopeful” in its approach and that is something that my clients will, and are, benefitting from. I am using the tools provided not he course and feel that any client, at any level, will be able to use it with us to support their goals and progress.
Eileen and Mawuli were brilliant trainers and the combination of their anecdotal and theoretical information really served to embed what we were learning.

There are so many aspects of this way of working I could use in the different areas that I work in. I could use parts of this when I supervise family time (contact) or the whole Solution Focused P&I Programme in the direct work that I complete. I firmly believe this could change many of our families lives for the better. The training reinforces my belief that by using children and families own strengths and resolve, this will provide them with the personal autonomy to move forward and achieve.

A fantastic approach which can be applied to all aspects of life. I will be using at work and home. A great training experience.

The training will allow the team to embed solution focused practice into the Team Around The Family approach. Individuals and families can be supported to make relevant changes to their own lives. The training was brilliant – very relevant to work with families.
TAF Coordinator for Team Around The Family in Carmarthen, Wales
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.
