Solution Focused Therapy Training
I will use lots of these skills in my pastoral session – Scaling, Change Balloon, Silent Session, Positive Language. The training was very interesting Eileen was amazing and engaging – we would love more session with her, she was very knowledgeable and made it fun. I loved the training – best training I have had in years.

This will affect our work with other pastoral staff to include these tools and ethos into our practice. Great tools: Reframing, Change Balloon, Questioning Focus. Eileen was fantastic – so engaging and gave real practical strategies to use back at school.

Extremely effective! I work with children and families with complex needs and Solution Focused Brief Therapy provides a further avenue to reflect positive change. Very well delivered and also fun!
Social Worker for Cheshire West Council in Cheshire, Greater Manchester
I have learnt to be more curious and will consider the value of language used, in terms of negating negativity. My approach will be to consider small, manageable steps to encourage engagement and to build up members’ confidence and/or self esteem to support progress and move on. I am more aware of the benefits of active listening to open up conversations and the different methods of evaluation.
Community Support Worker for Blind Veterans UK in Preston, Lancashire
The training will move me away from always trying to fix things and allow the members to focus on the small thing they can alter. I using the tool of “being curious” and identifying strengths will reflect positively. Eileen was a very engaging trainer and very knowledgeable.
Community Support Worker for Blind Veterans UK in Liverpool
The training was very well presented – the passion of the trainer was plain to see and that inspired all who attended. The approach was explained in a way that allowed everyone to understand and apply it to their day to day practice. I have continued to use a Solution Focused Approach with the young people I work with and it has been a really positive approach.
