Conversations that Create Change: Two Day Online Solution Focused Training

The training takes place on 13 May and 20 May 2026, and both dates must be attended.

If you want training that feels real, practical and grounded in what actually works, this two day live online event is for you. Led by Ayse Adil and Joe Lettieri, trainers known internationally for their work with children, families and professionals, this masterclass takes you beyond theory and straight into practice.

Across two days you will explore what creates movement in conversations. How do we help people open up when things feel stuck. How do we reduce pressure. How do we shift the focus from what is not working to what is possible. You will see the Solution Focused approach come alive through demonstrations, case examples and simple questions you can start using immediately.

What is Solution Focused Brief Therapy?

Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a practical and proven approach that gets people moving. We do not dismiss problems. We listen differently. We focus on strengths, possibilities and the small signs of progress that can shift an entire conversation.

SFBT cuts through overwhelm and helps people notice what is already working, even when they feel stuck. It is collaborative, respectful and grounded in real life change. No jargon. No long analysis. Just clear, purposeful conversations that help children, young people and families take the next step forward.

Across education, social care, therapy and community settings, SFBT gives practitioners tools that make a difference immediately. It reduces pressure, increases engagement and creates momentum. This is an approach that works in the real world and transforms the way you talk, listen and support the people you serve.
