Feedback from the South West Area

I will use the “Reframing” process when speaking with parents and will refrain from finding the solution for the parent and instead guide them to resolve their own issues. I will also encourage parents to focus their energy not on fighting the old but by building the new. The facilitator was funny, engaging and made me recognize how to concentrate on the positives and direct parents into making change themselves just by guiding them.

This has provided me with ideas and tools to work with families – particularly those where I’m stuck! The training was delivered in an engaging way – I was hooked from start to finish.

This training will result in better communication with families and involve them more in planning the way forward. Fantastic training and resources.

Claire Dean

Childrens Service Lead for The Rise Trust in Wiltshire

This training encouraged me to put more focus on the future rather than the past and to steer clients to recognize their strategies and reuse them when and where necessary. I loved Eileen’s open, honest and approachable style of teaching and sharing knowledge.

I have used the skills learnt in my one to one work – the Change Balloon is a really useful tool. I would like to add that the training material and facilitator were the best I have ever experienced.

Due to Eileen’s individual style of training and her anecdotes, I’ll be using this technique more in my management of my staff and I also volunteer as a Life Coach at a local agency so I’ll be using what I’ve learnt with my clients there. Eileen is a fantastic trainer – she is extremely engaging and has a brilliant style of getting points across. Wish I was doing the 12 week course!

The training will enable me to support and enable clients and staff and to use in my personal development. Fantastic, funny – one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure to learn from.

Jan Ludwell

Deputy Recovery Manager for MIND in Devon

I am a person-centre counsellor which very much focuses on past emotions/relationships. This course will give me extra skills to enable clients to explore moments of strengths and coping strategies – many thanks! I found the training inspiring – full of humour, very person centre and focused on the hope that people have the capacity to change.

“Brings positivity to the fore. Empowering and it gives the victim the advantage over the perpetrator. Excellent, vibrant, useful and productive – a life skill”.

endeavour to use a Solution Focused (motivational) approach throughout my professional and personal interactions. This session has helped me refresh my endeavours and has provided me with some new tools, ideas and perspectives to engage and assist a challenging client group in 1:1 and Group situations. Thank you
