PREVIOUS CONSULTANCIES
LEEDS MENTAL HEALTH TEACHING NHS TRUST
AIREWHARFE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE
“I am writing to thank you for the solution focused consultancy sessions you carried out during 2010. All my staff who attended have told me though found it extremely helpful in offering a new approach to their work with service users, many of who have found it difficult to ‘move on in their lives”.
Your consultancy sessions were provided in a way that allowed staff to participate easily and share their challenges with you and the group.
I will be requesting funding for further sessions and would be happy to recommend you to other agencies. Many thanks”

LEEDS PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION TRUST
“The consultancy you provided us with helped us to adopt a different approach to group work with our service users. Instead of focusing on problems and what's not going well we have been able to help people identify some of their strengths and resources that they had lost sight of. Through using the techniques you taught us, such as the miracle question and scaling, we have been able to help people look more to the future and to think about their goals. The meeting we had at the end of the group programme really helped me to think about what would be useful in future groups for our service users at ACS.”

Team Development Days
TOUCHSTONE HOUSING ASSOCIATION
“The two days were excellent – the planning process was simple and straightforward and truly collaborative. He presents ideas clearly and accessibly, and was obviously skilled at directing the team, ensuring he fitted the material around their interests and experiences. We’ve learned a lot. 1200 quid well spent”
Touchstone Leeds
“Family Action Bradford worked with Greg for our team day. The pace that Greg enabled was just right in that it gave people time to work well without the rush to complete a bit of a luxury really, particularly when compared to our daily working life. Greg spent time with the team before the day, developing his understanding of our specific needs and thus the day was suited to our particular needs rather than an ‘off the shelf approach). This ‘pre’ awareness’ contributed to the day being a success, provoking lots of thought and awareness and a good dose of fun and laughter thrown in for good measure. The day received positive feedback from those in attendance and as a consequence there in no doubt that we will use Greg for other Family Action Bradford activities and training.”
