What Are Others Saying?

"This is the most useful information I've heard in a very long time. I have been feeling burnt out and lost as a therapist in terms of achieving outcomes with kids and parents - I think mainly just stuck in the quagmire of time pressure and big problems and burnt out families - I use art and nature as occupations with my clients and that has kept me afloat but this is going to be what makes a really big difference and I'm really really grateful for this training. Thank you." 

Anna S, Occupational Therapist

"The workshop was really informative and has given me more confidence in the value of single session therapy and ideas on how to formalise the use of parent consultations. The key takeaway was the important of intention setting and the magic between sessions." 

Rebecca T, Occupational Therapist
