Solution Focused Therapy Training
This will empower our SENCO to continue to influence better provision for our children who need more and will provide further opportunities to support staff’s underpinning knowledge and empathy. A perfect balance of new learning, reflection and humor. A really informative day!

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!

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.

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.

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.

The entire Prevention & Intervention training programme has been a pleasure. Each day opened new doors and gave more ways to look at how we could implement this new style. Because the training was delivered to the whole of the new team, it will enable us to support each other and encourage the use of new skills and tools.

I will incorporate the empowering and explorative style of interviewing to elicit coping strategies already in place in order to enabled Focused care. This training enables patients to own their own problem-solving skills thus increasing self-esteem and independence .
