What Our Students Have to Say

Would you mind passing on my compliments to Paul Grantham for the Socratic Questioning zoom course last week. I thought it really was first rate, practical as ever and the ebb & flow between Paul's presentations and the zoom room pair ups flowed perfectly. Very grateful to be able to access this all the way from Australia.

Thank you, Paul, for two exceptionally outstanding days. This is the first time that I have used Webcast and must say that I am very impressed. I feel better informed and more confident to use some of the techniques taught over the two days.

Fantastic approach from Fiona who encouraged everyone to share experiences and be involved in a comfortable and non-threatening way. Really enjoyed the course. Thank you Fiona.

I am safe in the knowledge that I have been going along the rights lines, but I now have additional tools in my kit to make supervision more interesting. Thank you, this has been very useful training, I shall now try to tactfully recommend this to my supervisor
