FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

Practical training with a positive impact

A SOLUTION FOCUSED APPROACH

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) training and supervision is proven to have a positive impact on health, education and social care professionals, both personally and in their working lives. Professionals describe being more effective, even sometimes having breakthroughs with challenging clients. They also report feeling more relaxed and fulfilled, and less burdened, because of working in a solution focused way.

Our experienced team can deliver training and supervision either face-to-face or securely online via Zoom Pro. Here are some ways you can train with the Green Tree Therapy team:

Introduction to Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Our most popular half-day training course, which is designed to get you started, was developed by Dr Matt Selman (Clinical Psychologist and senior university lecturer) and Alex Ashida (experienced Occupational Therapist and SFBT practitioner).

As specialists in training health, social care and education professionals, we understand that time and money are precious resources in these fields. We have taken this as a challenge to develop a training course that makes the absolute best use of your time. It provides genuinely useful, practical training that you can learn quickly and implement immediately.

In this course, you will:

  • Gain a good understanding of the solution focused approach, where it comes from and how it differs from ‘problem focused’ approaches.

  • Be able to formulate some ideas about its application to your work, with your clients, in the context of your role and responsibilities.

  • Have time to learn and practice conversational tools that you can use the very next day at work.

  • Upon completion, all participants will receive a CPD certificate and be eligible to join our supervision groups.

We can also provide bespoke one-day or two-day courses to provide more advanced training and in‑depth practice.

Supervision

SFBT is an effective supervision tool that can turn supervision sessions from a tedious box-ticking exercise into an energising and valuable learning opportunity.

We can provide either individual or small group supervision.

As well as being experienced supervisors, all our trainers come from real world, frontline jobs. As a result, we understand your pressures. We work with you in a truly collaborative way to help ensure up‑to‑date, safe and effective ways of working that promote job satisfaction and reduce worker burden and stress.

If you are interested in talking with us about either one‑off or longer‑term supervision for yourself or your team, please get in touch with training@greentreetherapy.co.uk

If you’re thinking about signing up for this training, I’d say just do it, it works. As well as helping to achieve better outcomes for young people, it will save you time and reduce your stress. You will get so much out of it, personally and professionally.

Working with Green Tree takes a lot of weight off our advisors’ shoulders. It’s good to be able to listen and then refer people to a team with specialist knowledge and expertise. It lifts some of the emotional toll from the advisors, freeing us up to focus on other ways we can offer support.

The Green Tree training was empowering, transformational and enlightening. I learnt lots of new things, but the course also helped us to recognise and build on the skills and competencies we already have.
