Open access courses

Looking for some solution-focused training?

I offer occasional “open access” courses in solution-focused practice, that individuals can book onto. In recent years these have been arranged on demand, that is, after someone has approached me asking if I have any courses planned. So if you would like some solution-focused training and you don’t see one advertised on my website, get in touch and we can look at organising one - contact details below. These courses take place online.

My introductory courses in solution-focused practice are for people new to the approach and typically lead to the following outcomes:

• able to apply solution-focused skills in your day-to-day practice

• achieve better outcomes for the people you work with

• feel refreshed and revitalised in your job

• change your own life as well as the lives of others

• leave the course impatient to put what you have learned into practice

My Next Steps courses are for people who have already received some training in solution-focused practice and are using the approach in their work, and typically lead to the following outcomes:

• sharpening solution-focused skills

• shifting from stuckness to possibility

• developing a solution-focused flow

• developing creative ideas for using the approach

• increased confidence as a solution-focused practitioner

“Your delivery and teaching style is fabulous. Clear, concise and informative. I found watching live therapy a good way to process the concept and a great way of learning. Again thanks a lot for a fab four days.”

“I really appreciated so much about the two days and valued the way you facilitated the space and taught. I appreciated how you responded with curiosity to those questioning the approach and the way you gave context for each video…the way you scaffolded the training exercises really allowed the practitioner to practice and I had not seen that before. Even little things like the way you put us into groups and kept us moving was just beautifully done and made the two days feel easier.”
— Barbara Rishworth, Clinical psychologist
“I’ve just got back from a joint home visit to a family with a history of poor attendance and during the visit I used some of the things I learned over the last two days. What surprised me was how I just started to ask the questions, completely unintentionally I might add, and then moved on to use the scaling method. So now after using it I can see how easily it can fit in with our role and I can’t wait to see the end results.”
