"This was an excellent training, perhaps the best one I have ever attended. It was interesting, engaging, delivered with skill and clarity, offered opportunities to practise skills and learn from others and covered a huge amount of material."

"Really enjoyed all trainers, they quickly fostered a sense of trust to openly answer questions without feeling it was a silly question, made me feel different learning styles were accepted."

"This week has revolutionised my practice and I am excited about starting IPT specific work."

"Roslyn was an excellent trainer, and really knowledgeable in the field, both clinically and academically. There was a really good mix of material presented, room for interesting and engaging discussions and role plays for practising skills."

"Very engaging facilitators. Lots of time for discussion/questions and facilitators seemed very interested and responsive in this. Chances to practise/view role plays of others showing techniques especially helpful."

"I enjoyed the course much more than I was expecting, and I think I also learned much more than I was expecting, much of which was relevant to my clinical practice generally and not only specifically to IPT."

"Well organised, well supported, excellent handouts and knowledgeable and friendly presenters - great training, one of the best I've been on!"

"This has been such a life changing experience. I enjoy working within IAPT however the pandemic has brought many challenges to working. This training has injected some much needed inspiration to add to the work I am doing. Thank you both for a wonderful week (I wish it lasted even longer)!"
