WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR TRAINING

"Absolutely bloody brilliant. In over 20 years of frontline practice I have done a lot of training in this area but this was without question the most relevant, informed and ‘real’ I have ever had the privilege to attend. I would recommend it to others without hesitation and I am grateful to Cruse for making me a better practitioner as a result of his shared experiences and knowledge. Thank you." Via Twitter

“Thank you for the training. Everything was put forward in a way that really worked for me. Despite being a therapist for twenty+ years. Always so much more to learn! I learnt something new from it which proved to be very fruitful with the client I saw immediately after the training.”Hazel – Counsellor
