Autorenporträt

Ali Berquez is Clinical Lead Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) at the Michael Palin Centre (MPC), a Registered Certified European Stuttering Specialist and Chair of the UK's National Stammering Clinical Excellence Network. She contributes to the Centre's clinical work and development of therapy programmes, teaching, writing, and research, and offers clinical supervision to therapists in and outside the MPC. Ali started training in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with BRIEF in London in 1999 and completed a BRIEF certificate in Solution Focused Practice in 2019. Her SFBT research has focused on exploring parents' and children's expectations from therapy and what parents and children notice over time.

Martha Jeffery is a Highly Specialist SLT at the MPC. Before speech and language therapy, she had a former life in conference organisation and banking. She came across SFBT in her first job as an SLT in 2009, but it wasn't until she started at the MPC in 2013 that it became embedded in her practice. Over time, she learned not to dread the 'What have you been pleased to notice?' question in team meetings and supervision and to enjoy the way it turned her perspective around. She has an Advanced Certificate in Solution Focused Brief Therapy from BRIEF's year-long programme in 2021.
