"Staying with what feels edgy and just describing rather than retreating into analysing and strategizing about what I think is appropriate and / or what might be helpful to say and what would “work” which then makes me feel separate and in my head. Watching out for the feedback loops and using that info. This has been super helpful already with both clients and supervisees – it’s much less stressful for me and feels more real so feels like it really helps build realness and trust. It’s already helped open up new material and feels much more like we’re in it together.’"
"The high point of my learning this weekend has been thinking about the conceptual tools of ‘Me’ and ‘Not me’ and what the Edge figures might be. This has helped me to ‘cut to the chase’ when seeking to make interventions, especially when someone I am seeing is very narrative and full of detail. It’s like it gives me a helicopter view.’"
"I really enjoyed working with the trainer who brought tremendous insight and experience which I greatly benefited from. She brought a fresh perspective on processes and the therapy world that was not stale or politically correct – being comfortable with taboo material added to the space and the work."
"A wonderful two days training. I am leaving feeling excited about having a relationship with my supervisee’s that don’t require me to be the book of knowledge – but simply to have a relationship with them!''
"Excellent training weekend! Our trainer is someone who demonstrates that she walks her talk. Brilliant and very alive weekend!"
"The high point in the teaching for me was witnessing our trainer searching for the truth in a difficult group process, with compassion, and leaving the participants ‘intact’. It showed me that dismantling is fine as rebuilding is always possible – a personal learning curve for me."
"Excellent quality training with a very clear presentation of concepts, making complex issues easier to understand. The trainer was excellent, supportive, challenging, skilled in presenting the material as well as working with group dynamics."
"This has been a brilliant training weekend for me! Inspiring and powerful. The beginning of a new era for me."

"It was a real joy to be taught by someone with such deep knowledge and experience with a very warm approach, in such a sage and honest way inviting both the shadow and sublime."
"This training has been excellently delivered. Masterful is a strong word, and that’s accurate here.''
"Working with our trainer was nothing short of inspirational! The complex material we were facing was made accessible and the outcomes we were seeking were made clear. The energy of the honest and open approach was refreshingly received. I felt reinvigorated with a surge of confidence looking at both my current practice and as I head into new challenges."
"Mapping model – I found this way of thinking and tracking helpful. The idea of not overthinking/analysing and using the information given to draw the map. Something freeing about that, which is meaningful for the person in me who wants to get it right/do well."
"I find the delivery engaging and dynamic. It helps me to see you bring the map to life in live examples, but also how you engage with the group. I enjoy experiencing you interact in an authentic way. There is a realness that I find myself internally high fiving your interventions, that gives voice to that which I sometimes may subdue, for fear of not being liked. I love how unapologetic you are in your delivery. And kind. Most importantly there is a simplicity with which you impart your wisdom that is accessible."
"This training has had great content, clearly presented, first-class training that has exceeded any expectations."
"I am impressed with the trainer’s supervisory and teaching style, empowering us and encouraging us not to shy away from exploring points of conflict. It has been refreshing to meet her and to work with her transparent and clear-thinking style."
"I experienced the trainer as a supportive but appropriately challenging trainer, really aware of the field in the group, and creating great contact with each of us."
"The high point of my learning this weekend was understanding my own responses – especially physiological responses to fearful situations – how strong my edge figures are and how they could jeopardize my client work. The trainer's delivery – as always – is clear, thought-provoking, and accessible – pearls of wisdom and felt experiences I hope to hold onto. This training has given me more confidence to work with groups. The conceptual content was excellent, detailed, dense, complex, and simple at the same time."
"Our trainer, as usual, has been amazing. Her knowledge and clarity are igniting and inspiring. I felt really supported and encouraged. She was able to deal with the emotional stuff in the group in such a professional, empathic and supportive way."

"Our trainer has an amazing ability to turn complicated material into simple, digestible concepts which sink in and become part of your thinking and feeling almost instantly."
"This course is revolutionary. My own experience of supervision, particularly in groups, has been very prescriptive and this course has enabled me to become a supervisor with a collegial and inclusive approach, as an individual with my own style."
"An inspiration, tour de force, fully modelling the exploration of transpersonal dynamics right here, right now. Demonstrating a very confident and impressive knowledge of psychological theory and depth psychology and at the same time showing where and how to exercise a lighter, more irreverent touch leading to good humoured but very purposeful challenge. Visibly demonstrating how the field and the collective unconscious is alive in groups and the possibilities of extending our knowledge and understanding it by exploring it with openness. A lively learning space which accommodated vulnerability but used it to stretch us as learners."
"Our trainer is a wonderful practitioner and her ease of presentation makes it easier for me to be honest and real about my own feelings and process."
"I really wish I could bottle what you say and pour it out as appropriate with some of my clients! Absolutely useful, down-to-earth delivery, to which I can relate. This has been a great module which has expanded my thinking, deepened my processing, and which will enhance my practice."
"This training has been brilliant, as the trainer’s passion, experience, competence, and hard work as our trainer, was awesome."
