Solution Focused Therapy Training
Inspiring and thought-provoking with the right amount of humor. Remembering from the training that the Patient is always the expert; to keep it “small”; words are powerful.

This brought a re-frame to my middle-aged tired brain!
Since my time in NHS (1981 to present) I don’t think I have attended study days where I had genuinely laugh out loud moments whilst still remaining relevant to my practice. Very relevant.
Senior Liaison Mental Health Nurse for NHS in London
The training had a profound affect. It has already had an impact on how I have interacted with some patients this week – reframing, paraphrasing, active listening. I feel that it has furnished me with a fresh skill, another tool on my belt. Also helped to consider “exceptions to the difficulty” rather than focusing on the difficulty itself. I can’t remember enjoying a course so much. Excellent facilitation from Eileen.
Mental Health Liaison Nurse for NHS Royal London Hospital in London
The training will make me more aware of my approach and remind me that although I am the professional – I “know nothing” and the service user is “the expert” of themselves. My work should revolve around facilitating and not leading on making judgements. Eileen was amazing – best training I have ever had. Very engaging, informative and fun!

Have improved communications with service users. The training was the best I have ever attended!
Crisis Line Practitioner for NHS Mile End Hospital in London
The training has given me confidence to have Solution Focused conversations. The materials provided from the course are detailed and give how examples of how to engage in conversations with clients. The training was informative, engaging and well delivered!
Social Worker for NHS Mile End Hospital in London
The training has offered me a way to approach member and staff conversations in a focused and positive way. Eileen is a supremely skilled trainer.
Regional Manager for Blind Veterans UK in London
The training has given me some new skills and a different way of seeing the person I might work with. Also some new ideas of different ways of thinking about patients and particularly in terms of patients who appear very stuck.
The Trainer brought a fresh and humorous approach to the training which I feel has helped some of the ideas to stick in my mind more and made the training more enjoyable. i appreciated that the Trainer was very real and down to earth and treated us all in a very real way – as intelligent humorous beings which, in turn, gave some vigour to how we can be more real with the people we work with.
Art Psychotherapist, Mental Health Care for Older People for NHS in Mile End Hospital, London
The training gave me a clear, effective structure to start work with young people on a one-to-one basis. The method Eileen teaches can be used for every one of my young clients regardless of their level of previous interventions. This was fresh and real.
Learning Mentor in London
This model will allow for more positive and longer lasting outcomes. The training was interactive and allowed for practising. As well as being very informative it was very engaging.

Some of Chaplin's friends tried to talk him out of the iconic final speech in
THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940)
One even said the speech would cost him a million dollars at the box office to which Chaplin replied “Well, I don't care if it's five million."
