During my work as a solution focused practitioner, trainer and coach I have worked with many people – from individuals to organisations. This is just some of the feedback I’ve received.
Course Participants

“The style and delivery by the tutor was excellent, his knowledge and teaching was excellent”
“There seems to be a new buzz around the office in terms of the impact of the approach now they have started using it in real situations”
‘Practical, pragmatic and good humoured’
‘Without trying to sound too creepy, this is one of the best courses I’ve done’
‘Paul is confident and knowledgeable in this area, this instils confidence in the subject matter’
“The feedback I have had has been positive…….I will certainly recommend your training to others in the field”
“Thoroughly enjoyable and I will definitely be using SFT in my practice”
Conference Participants
