WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Sarah Foley, Psychotherapist
I find Lottie’s approach fits my way or working perfectly and I am grateful for finding her.
Suzanne Mellors, Therapist
Lots of grounding, helpful information regarding starting work with couples, contracts and assessments etc. Engaging and informative discussion, practice as the therapist, as well as lots of learning from the roles plays and feedback.
Tracy Busbridge, Therapist
I gained a lot from module one, consolidation of things I knew and new learning of things I didn't. All the assessment information was very helpful and also hearing Lottie's experiences of her work helps to clarify how the tools we are learning can be used. I enjoyed the role plays and getting to know the group.
