Solution Revolution

Solution Revolution Solution Focused Practice supports people to achieve a preferred future, whilst building on their existing unique resources and capabilities.

SFP is a gentle, compassionate approach, where people can be experts for their owns lives. Miracles Really Do Happen! Solution Focused Practice is the key to supporting people to reach their full potential in life! It builds on strengths and helps build resilience. My name is Tara Gretton and I am the founder of Solution Revolution. I have a background in Social Work and I am an Accredited Solution Focused Practitioner. I have extensive experience of using the Solution Focused Approach with children, young people, their families and adults addressing a variety of issues whether it is family issues, issues relating to school, relationships, anxiety, and self confidence. Solution Focused Practice is all about finding out what the client would prefer their future to look like, and what their existing strengths and skills are in order for them to be able to achieve their preferred future. What made me fall in love with the Solution Focused Approach is its value in people; it listens, it enables and it allows people to build their preferred future. Anything is possible, but sometimes only the smallest of changes need to be made. I predominantly work in schools in the area; I have carried extensive work with the Wellsway Multi Academy Trust. Within the multi academy trust I have worked as a Solution Focused Coach to students in 1:1 sessions and group work supporting address issues anxiety, self confidence, exam stress or relationships. The school considers my work to have been highly successful and it is my best hope to extend my work through the area. I also have a private practice that I run from my family home in Bath. It’s a homely environment that hopes to enable children, young people and adults to be relaxed and feel welcomed; so we can work on finding those solutions and inner resourcefulness for their issues. Within my private Practice I also provide 1:1 work with adults, couples and families. This can be therapeutic work or coaching. I also provide Solution Focused Training and group work. I have a group of associates who work alongside me for group work, which I deliver in schools. I am an Associate for Solution Focused Trainers www.solutionfocusedtrainers.co.uk and run a Level 3 Certificate Course in Solution Focused Practice. Within the school that I work in, the schools themselves refer to me, however families can self refer by contacting me via the website www.solutionrevolution.co.uk or you can just telephone me on 07788711493. My charges vary depending on the nature and scale of the work. For 1:1 private sessions I charge £50 per hour. Solution Focused Practice is a short intervention, in that it is effective quickly. Six sessions would be a general average.

🌍 From Bath, UK, to the wider world: Beechen Cliff School’s solution-focused story is now shared in a brand-new book.

In June, a wonderful book was published, edited by the incredible Marcella Stark and Linda Metcalf — and I was honoured to write a chapter alongside Edwin Choy telling the story of Beechen Cliff School in Bath, UK. It captures a six-year journey of embedding the solution-focused approach. It’s a remarkable story of growth, commitment, and creativity, and it was such a privilege to tell it alongside this inspiring team.

Do take a look to discover what we did and how it works in practice. 💫

I’ve been working a lot more with families lately, something I did in my very first solution focused social work job back in the early 2000s. I was reflecting with my clinical supervisor, who was also one of my old social care managers, on the difference that the solution focused approach can make to our everyday interactions with children and young people.

What I notice again and again is the good intentions of parents and caregivers. Their hope for their child or young person to be at their best. To have opportunities beyond the ones they had. To be able to cope and manage with the complexities of life. These hopes come from a place of deep care. But sometimes they’re delivered in a way that just doesn’t work for children and young people.

As they grow, become more independent and move towards being autonomous young adults, they often want something different. A different kind of dialogue. A shift in how conversations are held. A sense of being listened to rather than managed.

Inviting parents and caregivers into a space where they can gently tweak the way they communicate and express their hopes can make a huge difference. I’ve had the privilege of being in spaces where parents and young people come together. I ask them to think about what they hope for from the conversation, what they want to be heard, and what they hope to take from it.

Sometimes, it’s the smallest of things that make the biggest difference.

A parent sitting back and listening instead of giving their opinion.
A to-do list created together rather than handed over.
A shared plan.
An alarm clock in the young person’s room so they can manage their own time, instead of a parent calling up the stairs each morning.

The ripple effect of these tiny changes can be huge. As one young person said to me,
“It’s helped us have better everyday conversations and made it easier for me to be more open with my parents.”
