Training and Consultancy
Solution Focused Brief Therapy Approaches

Welcome to Eileen Murphy Consultants & Associates, practitioners and providers of Training and Consultancy in the Solution Focused Approach.

As well as a platform for our work - our aim is for this website to be a useful resource for all those working to help people achieve their potential; to achieve change or in the work towards recovery.  The principles of all of our work are based on the belief that it is the individual who is the expert of their lives and therefore it is essential to harness that expertise as a crucial part of any intervention with the individual 

As practitioners and trainers, we provide direct consultancy work with clients, provide inhouse and public training courses, offer "change" consultancy with individuals, local authorities and organisations.  Our introductory and bespoke Solution Focused Approach and Brief Therapy training and staff development programmes are well evaluated.  See an example of one of our training courses in the video below.  Our next public course for 2012 is being planned for  25th September - please see our Training & Events page

Utilizing models that encourage collaboration with the client, who is after all the expert of the problem - we provide training courses that equip individuals and teams to work collaboratively with the client to achieve best outcomes for the client. These models include Solution Focused Brief Therapy (de Shazer '85);Optima Communication Skills (Murphy '08) the resources and visuals of the Examine, Repair & Move On Approach (Murphy '93) which Eileen Murphy first devised when working with challenging young people in 1993. These simple effective tools offer the client the opportunity to identify the change that needs to happen and design who can do what to help change take place.

A broader list of our courses can be found on the About Us and Our Courses page.

The focus of our training is to equip staff with the confidence, skill and curiosity to work collaboratively with the client - the expert on what works for them; what worked a little in the past; what might work a little in the future.

Our 1, 2 and 3 day training courses are provided across the UK as an inhouse provision. We run only one public course each year and details of this can be found on our Public & In-House Training page.
