I enjoy meeting other practitioners, and as always Kati was an excellent facilitator of learning. I always feel inspired and learn new things during her workshops.


I thought this workshop was excellent. I liked the way theory was introduced and made accessible for practitioners who may be daunted by this subject.


Thank you –  this was an excellent workshop. I was familiar with quite a bit of the material, but you really helped me develop a different perspective and understanding. It’s enormously helpful to think of people’s behaviours/reactions as survival roles. 


Really useful. I already had good trauma knowledge when I arrived however not thought enough about the organisation before.

I found Kati’s training easy to access and that it had the right balance between practical, hands on advice and theoretical content. There is always space within training for personal and professional reflection and allowing time for questions gives participants an opportunity to apply the content to their own roles and families they are working with. When I am struggling to find direction with a case speaking to Kati reminds me of the skills I have to help carers and the more time I spend working with an ARC based the more natural it becomes.

I found the training very useful and enjoyable (I have been to a few training sessions where this is not the case!!). It has helped continue to shift and shape my own perspective and practice in the classroom. A surprising outcome was how it made me reflect on my own and colleagues’ mental health and I am striving to keep good mental health a priority!

A positive training experience, great delivery that generated an electric buzz in the room!

I absolutely loved everything about the training, the subject matter, the way it was delivered and Kati’s clear knowledge on the subject. For me, it was completely inspiring.


Kati is an amazing knowledgeable trainer. This was one of the most informative courses I have been in in years.


This was an excellent training programme.  Appropriately pitched, lots of useful practical takeaways. Realistic about applications in context of different levels of service. Kati the trainer was excellent very engaging, knowledgeable and modelled TIC throughout two days.


I learnt a lot in terms of how to look at a persons life in depth and reasons behind behaviours, approaches and coping strategies. Thank you, this was very well delivered.


Thank-you it was a great 2 days. Lots of information and Katie had a wealth of knowledge.
