Active, Fun and Inspiring

Great workshop! Learning new skills has never been so active, fun and inspiring. Definitely training that I would recommend to others.

A Class Above the Rest

I have been to quite a few workshops in recent times and yours was a class above the rest. Unfortunately, I have been to plenty of places where an uninspiring presenter puts people to sleep by reading all day from overcrowded PowerPoint slides. In contrast, your presentation was a brilliant mix of passive and active learning, with lots of interaction.

Most Useful Workshop

This is by far the most useful workshop I have ever attended. Very good balance of ideas, practical suggestions and theoretical underpinnings.

Powerful

This is the most powerful tool I have found to work with children who have limited verbal skills, and attention or behavioural difficulties. It ensures that children are given opportunity for positive interaction. What an emotionally intelligent way to relate with children!

More to Counselling Than CBT

The most valuable thing about this course was being reminded that talking therapy and taking the lead isn't always beneficial for the client, and knowing that there's more to counselling than CBT.

Amazing

The days were well planned and executed. Information shared and learnt was amazing, all worth putting into practice. The applications to my work from this training make me feel proud of the person and psychologist I am becoming.

Highly Recommend

As a beginning practitioner working with children, it was exceptionally useful for me. I immediately put into practice what I had learned during the two days and found an instantaneous shift in the dynamic of my sessions. I found that I learnt more about the children and felt that I was working in a way that honoured the children’s own process. I would highly recommend this workshop.
