Solution Focused Therapy Training
The effect on my work? Focus on the exceptions to the helpful behaviors; set small achievable targets; use The Change Balloon with families. I really enjoyed the pace, humor and style of the training. The balance between theory and practical was perfect.

Working in assessment, the training will help to effect change even when in crisis situations – the Solution Focused Approach is an amazing tool that subtly helps client to recognize and build upon their own strengths to find a way forward. I will use this every day. It was by far the most beneficial training I’ve had in my 30 year career and I hope to do it all again sometime.
Social Worker for West Berkshire Council in Berkshire
This training will affect my work in so many ways! It will enable me to empower the students more by helping them to discover their own solutions. This was, quite honestly, the most fascinating, interesting, empowering training I have ever been on. I wish I had done this years ago, both for my own benefit and in my professional life. My attention was caught for the full two days – I’m sad its over.

First Support Practitioner for Enabling Services, University of Southampton in Southampton
This training has helped me look at the services I am responsible for in a completely new way and will contribute to significant positive change. I feel much more empowered and able to take a different approach. Most effective training I’ve ever had.
Student Support Manager for Student Services, University of Southampton in University of Southampton
I have been using several parts of the training with my students. I have found in particular that “scaling” during my appointments and then focusing on how to make small positive changes has been very successful. I have also enjoyed giving students tasks and having them accept them. So far no one has failed to complete a task that we’ve agreed on – which is great. I had a lot of fun during the training and felt very engaged with what was being presented. I feel like I ended the session with actual tools that I can use to make me more effective in my role. Two great days of training!
Student Support Practitioner for Student Services, University of Southampton in Southampton
This training has changed the way that I think about mental health support entirely. The idea of the client being the “expert” and therefore holding the key knowledge about what will benefit them was truly eye-opening. As somebody who meets with a lot of students in a short period of time, these tools will revolutionise the amount of stories I take on, and therefore reduce the energy spent during meetings allowing me to serve more students without burning out as quickly. An engaging, hilarious, eye-opening and transformation two day session; Silent Session, Change Balloon, “staying small” and scaling are such useful tools. I will recommend Eileen Murphy Consultants to everybody!
Wellbeing Coordinator for University of Southampton in Southampton
New resources: Change Balloon, 24 hour clock, exceptions, preferred futures and more focus on “what is working”. Really useful – thank you, a great course.
Specialist Support Practitioner for University of Southampton in Southampton
This training made me think completely differently about how I usually try to solve my clients problems without enabling them to do it themselves. This has been the most inspiring training I have attended and Eileen’s delivery was magnificent.
