Keyworking

Effective Keyworking is the primary driver of change for service users, clients and whoever we work with. Keyworking is largely a solitary process, and so staff can become vulnerable to adopting unhelpful patterns and failing to reach their full potential as practitioners. Appropriate keywork training can liberate you and your team to maximise your potential. Being exposed to science-based best practise will nurture the intuitive motivation of your client group, promote growth mindsets and a culture of sustainable change. Keyworking operates through tailored key sessions that deliver self-development skills which can be used to increase support between service users and an organisation. Key sessions are designed to help people build rapport and gather an all round better understanding of where expectations lie and to set and implement effective goals for themselves and others.
