Commissioners and staff attending my courses please note:
Whilst being an experienced trainer in Solution Focused Practice and ideas for conducting ‘useful conversations’ drawn from a solution focused brief therapy it should be noted that this is not ‘therapy’ training nor does it give the participant any qualifications to practice as a therapist. You will gain a certificate from me in Solution Focused Practice, which you can use alongside your established professional work. Notwithstanding that any organisational and statutory responsibilities will always take precedence.
