"The pacing was excellent, with enough content to keep you interested but also delivered at a speed so as not to feel rushed. I felt confident in the hands of the trainer, they were clearly a very knowledgable, experienced mental health professional but also maintained a freshness and non-judgemental approach that was appropriate for the subject." - Previous learner.
