What Attendees Are Saying:

Thank you Wale for a wonderful learning experience this evening. I am in recovery from alcohol addiction myself (3 years) and also currently a full time student at University studying psychology, and I found your course full of enlightening information. This is the second course I have attended of yours and I think you are incredibly knowledgeable. I attended the Intrusive Thoughts course in Maidstone a couple of years ago now and I am sure I will be back for much more! Sarah G. (15/4/21)

Thank you for your time tonight, the event was very informative and will stand me in good stead for my position as an Occupational Therapist in Addictions that I am starting next week. Rowena H. (15/4/21)

I love all Wale’s courses as he makes the information relatable and easy to understand. All his courses are relevant to me too as I work in a residential rehab for addicts. Julie C., Therapist and Therapy Manager of Residential Treatment Centre (15/4/21)

Thank you for a well informed and educative seminar on Addiction last night. It has really helped in informing my practice as a Counsellor and a Psychotherapist. Uzochukwu I. (15/4/21)

Considering the current pandemic, the course was delivered in a manner that allowed for interaction with other attendees, this was unexpected, very useful and very well carried out. Kayleigh P. Massage Therapist (25/1/21)

I think that a very complex subject has been made simple to understand and digest. Well done! Amanda E., Counsellor (25/1/21)

Definitely worth every minute of it! Will look into other relevant courses, eg polyvagal theory, PTSD… Great to have presentation in advance (some courses only give them out after the course) as it was then easier to follow the slides and make better notes. Deb M., Clinical Hypotherapist & Psychotherapist (25/1/21)
