Solution Focused Trainers

Naomi Whitehead

Naomi has over 17 years of experience working in a range of Social Care settings from Youth Offending Harm Reduction and Safeguarding to Strategic Management in Housing and Homelessness Prevention.

For the last 10 years Naomi has developed and extensively used her expertise in Solution Focused Practice. She is both delighted and repeatedly surprised by the simplicity yet tangible effectiveness of SFP and the significant positive life changes it leads to. The breadth and variety of Naomi's application of the technique means she's a passionate and engaging trainer. Ask someone how they would like things to improve and they'll describe their own action plan, articulated and encouraged from just a small handful of specific solution focused questions.

Naomi trained in Counselling, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in 2002 before discovering SFP which became her preferred approach after BRIEF training in 2003, 2004 and 2007. Naomi is also TEFL and Train the Trainer qualified, has a 2:1 BA Hons in Sociology and Social Policy and a Distinction in the Level 3 SFP Certificate. She has also trained in the ILM recognised Leadership and Management Development programme.
