Solution Focused Therapy Training
Opened me to new ideas of working – using a greater variety of tools to use with clients. I was encouraged by the power of The Silent Session – breaking patterns and expectations of client/professional engagement. Enjoyable two days – no role-play, not patronizing – delivered with humour and respect.
Specialist Health Visitor, IFST for RCTC Borough Council in Treforest, Wales
I will utilize the skills such as “curiosity” to find out more information from different perspectives. I will certainly be using more of the “exception” questions for individuals to be able to identify their own strengths. I will be more focused on “keeping it small” in order to remain focused. The training was different to anything I have previously encountered and the informality and personality of the trainer certainly assisted in making the day memorable and enjoyable.
Senior Practitioner for Integrated Family Support Team in Pontypridd, Wales
The training has provided me with tools and therapies that can work for any individual not just focusing on certain goals or problems. The course is going to alter the way I structure my sessions with young people and families. It has allowed me to understand different ways in which I can ask a young person what is going on for them.

I found the days refreshing, motivating, information and fun. Useful tools such as The Change Balloon and The Scaling Walk – I will use in my work. Eileen is a great proponent of this approach and her knowledge and enthusiasm carries you with her – she demonstrates a profound respect and care for the client.

It has given me a new approach to working with young people and has given me the tools to deal with troubled families and young people in a very simple, straight forward way. I thought Eileen’s delivery was “top drawer” – excellent delivery skills!

I feel I have taken a lot from the training personally. Professionally, I have gained new tools and skills that I will be able to put into practice during the one-to-one sessions that I run with participants. I feel I have a different approach to my usual way of working now – rather than be the fixer.
