I found the course to be practical and completely applicable to my situation. For me, the structure and the ten steps has given me the framework I didn’t have. In addition, the focus on my personal state was really helpful and the practical tips are invaluable. It was not what I had expected – no role play! But a great course and very well delivered. I am really grateful.

  • Excellent! Clearly presented. Excellent course materials with practical ideas and resources which may be adapted. We look forward to implementing the 6 week programme which is highly relevant to the students we work with. This has left me with skills which may be used tomorrow and a programme to develop and implement in the future. Diolch!
