Feedback from students, online course September 2022:

“Course delivery was exemplary, well structured, professional, and not overwhelming while reaching objectives. One of the best training courses I have attended for a long time right down to safety, the timing and structure.”Nikki

“Comprehensive, relevant, and easy to understand. Not deluged with too much information. Good balance of experiential and discussion group-based learning.” Kate

“Both tutors delivered the course with efficiency, great boundaries, and wonderful humour. There have been no areas unexplored. I got everything I needed and could go as far as to say my expectations were exceeded. Probably the best course I have taken.” Debbie

“The course was delivered in a way that was easy to understand. It was very enjoyable. Lisa was very approachable and encouraging She made things very clear throughout the course. I loved so many things about the course. Things were succinct and not dragged out on to things that were irrelevant as happens with some courses. I also loved the fact that the time keeping was great.” Fiona

"This course has more than met my expectations. It was balanced well with skills, theory, and self-awareness. Growth was evident over the weeks, and I thank you very much for the excellent learning opportunity. This was delivered in such a warm inclusive way. Even though delivered remotely, I feel nourished from the connection with the tutors and my fellow students.” Chris

“Course was very well structured and covered a lot of information, including additional handouts. Lisa is very knowledgeable and an experienced practitioner that came across during the course, really explained well.” TH

"Through the course and exploration of the material, and generally focussing in more on the role of a supervisor, my confidence has grown, and I am starting to feel more prepared for the role of supervisor.” Justine

“The course is delivered very well even before the start of the first weekend with handouts and information right up to having a tutorial; it’s encouraging and very well organised. The course is very well structured and thoroughly explained by Lisa. Also, the programme felt in the right order to introduce and discuss; it flowed and was not confusing. The content felt enough to learn what is necessary to be a supervisor.”Kim

“The mix of practice sessions and feedback, group exercises and discussions and the tutors’ ability to teach and share knowledge as well as expertise was the best I’ve encountered on an online course. The course exceeded my expectations. Having attended a few online courses that barely met their objectives, this course met all its objectives and exceeded mine, giving me enough knowledge and reassurance that I could begin this journey from counselling into supervision.” PR

“I felt the course was full of valuable content and very informative. The admin side of the course and worksheets and hand-outs were distributed at the appropriate times, and I very much liked the balance between Lisa and Sharon and the roles they each had, and they both delivered in a very natural and warm manner :) There was nothing that Lisa or Sharon couldn’t answer, and so the knowledge and expertise was really impressive and informative:)”CA

“Lisa is very knowledgeable and experienced and never faltered at any point when explaining content or being asked questions. She answered and delivered with warmth, kindness and reassurance.” Alliee

“I would highly recommend this course. Lisa adopts a pragmatic /common sense approach to learning with the right mix of theory and practise. I came away feeling fully ready to embrace the role of supervisor and that all bases were covered. The course is good value for money. Lisa has an eye for detail and follows up on questions and additional information in a way that makes you feel supported and equipped. I felt fully engaged through every weekend. I never had a moment of ‘boredom’ or ‘oh no another group exercise’. The work outside of the weekends is manageable, and relevant and helps underline our learning. Very professional but able to hold that lightly to be accessible. Never delivered with arrogance or superiority. Challenges were gentle but clear. Warmth and humour present too.” DK

Feedback from students May 2022:

“I highly recommend this training, very well organised and efficient and it’s obvious that a lot of thought has been put into this online course. Course delivery was exceptional, professional, efficient and stimulating.” Veronica

“Lots of knowledge, guidance, and encouragement throughout. This has been a really enjoyable course and I would happily recommend it. The amount of information fitted in has been astounding and yet the pace of the course hasn’t felt overwhelming. We were given time to practice our skills and partake in valuable discussions throughout. Thank you to you both.” Emma

“The professionalism, structure and delivery of content was gold standard. I really liked the way Sharron and Lisa worked together. I would not hesitate in recommending this to anyone seeking supervision training.” Caroline

“Well organised and thorough. Totally know your stuff in this area. Brought a wealth of experience and held the group and each individual to learn, practise and grow in their confidence and skills as budding supervisors.” Sandra

“The tutors knowledge and expertise was very good. I could not have asked for better informed tutors.” Shade

“Thanks for a really well-held, professionally delivered course. I really liked your boundaried approach, constructive feedback and gentle challenge, and feel like I’ve learnt a lot.” Natalie

“The course met my full expectations and more. I will have no hesitation in a recommendation to another professional, thank you for providing a superb course from start to finish. I’m delighted to have attended and excited about my next chapter professionally.” Debbie

“Over the 3 weekends the content of the course had a natural and consistent flow to the development of knowledge and understanding which was led with sensitivity and was easy to follow. This equipped us with everything that we needed to achieve the course work to submit. Your personal experience of Supervision was exemplary and your guidance through the Course material was seamless and seemed effortless.” Nicholas

“From the very first communications Lisa made, her professionalism and organisation were evident. This helped me to organise myself and I was happy to have the chance to acquire some of the books and do some reading. I thought the course was excellent throughout; the materials arrived on the dot on the Mondays before the weekends, and the content and detail were thorough and very detailed. I felt in good hands from the very start. I would recommend this course 100% to any counsellors who feel ready to train as a Supervisor - it really delivers. Lisa is very generous with how she shares her knowledge, apportions her time and holds the boundaries.” Helen
