Attended virtual course:

Ursula was amazing I learnt so much from her and she adapted the training so that it met what we needed. Id defiantly go to her again for training. She was so friendly and welcoming I felt at ease at all times, normally on training course I feel quite anxious about talking but I didn’t at all with Ursula.

Seren Scourfield, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board

Small class size meant I was able to contribute/be part of proceedings more than I would usually. Important in a class of this nature where particiapnts are likely to lack confidence.

Course was well-paced, enough time for all participants to explore, understand and use the tools/concepts.
