In their own words….

What’s it like to attend one of our training sessions? Here’s what some of our recent delegates had to say.

So different from previous bereavement training we’ve received. The depth of knowledge that Martin shared with us to better our understanding of grief and its impact was eye-opening. The session was delivered at a calm, comfortable pace and kept our whole team engaged.

I thought Trudie’s presentation was one of the best that I have heard/seen for a long time – and I have attended some brilliant events! I should have left earlier but had to stay until the end of her presentation as I was captivated – not just by the subject and her experience but also by her style and warmth.

Martin’s knowledge of the subject and his calming manner in the delivery makes it a very safe learning space.

The session really was fantastic, I wasn’t too sure what to expect and I’m so happy I decided to join, it was really helpful and thought provoking and fantastically delivered. It’s always so valuable and appreciated learning from someone so knowledgeable and with lived experience.

Community Team, St. Luke’s Hospice

Martin was amazing at delivering the session and I felt really validated afterwards. He spoke so passionately about loss and the impact this can have, and even touched on suicide bereavement; which we understand is complex to process.

Volunteer Coordinator, Papyrus

It was an amazing session with so much thought-provoking information. It has certainly given me a deeper understanding of grief (in all it’s forms).
You are both very inspiring and your knowledge exceptional… to have that practical information and guidance was amazing.

Adult Social Care & Health Team, Derbyshire County Council

This training was truly special! Not only did it help me with navigating tricky conversations and emotional subjects at work, it has really helped me with my communication in my personal life too. I learnt so much more than I thought I would from Martin and his approach to the subject was refreshing & engaging!

Thank you for these two sessions, they were so informative, and something I am sure we will all be using in our client work going forwards. Trudie’s delivery was first class, I am a qualified counsellor, but I learnt so much. The content was very thought provoking.

Pathway Counselling Service

Martin was great at providing explanations partnered with evidence and studies, but also presented in such a calm, and warm manner.  Bereavement is obviously a very sensitive subject and Martin tackled it sensitively, and considerately, whilst still being able to keep the training informative and beneficial.
