Feedback from the South East Area

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!

New resources: Change Balloon, 24 hour clock, exceptions, preferred futures and more focus on “what is working”. Really useful – thank you, a great course.

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.

This course had a very positive effect. It equipped me with a more focused approach to working with families. It will make me concentrate on the smaller task approach rather than focusing on the bigger tasks. It will make me more curious and ask questions

I just wanted to thank you again for the training you delivered to our team. I have never known our team have such a positive response to a training session, its already being put to good use and I’m sure will have a positive impact on the way we work and on the lives of our clients. I’ll give you an update in the near future and hopefully book a another session in the new year.

Senior Supported Housing Officer for English Churches Housing Group in Oxford

Thank you for the above course, it was like a breath of fresh air and I just had to send this email to express this. The lively and enthusiastic approach to the giving of the information not only helped me to take every little detail on board but was presented in such a way that it gave me confidence to “try the new idea out”. Sometimes when you have been in this work as long as I have you struggle to almost believe there is potential for change, however after these two days I have been revitalised and all my beliefs have returned and I feel ready to help and support the families to identify the change and help move them on.

This training has had a huge impact on the way that I work now and approach different situations. I have already seen some positive results from using this method since the training. Thank you.

This training was stimulating and very “hands on” with lots of opportunities to practice skills. I came away from the training with an enthusiasm to practice in a solution focused way.

Although I already use the Solution Focused Approach, it widened by understanding and gave me specific strategies such as The Change Balloon, Reframing and Analogies which I found particularly useful. The training was effective, met the criteria and was entertaining. Thank you.
