Susan is fairy dust. She is so creative and refreshing who just oozes passion and expertise with regard to engaging children and young people. She was what made the course excellent of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Jane Gray
Susan was an amazing trainer, so knowledgeable with a wealth of experience and a way of explaining things in such a helpful way to ensure that we could all get the best from the training. I’m excited about making these adaptations and implementing these into my EMDR practice with younger children. Really looking forward to completing the next part of the training!
Leanne Quirke
This training was really great. Susan has a way of presenting that’s accessible and easy to understand. I can generalise a lot of what I have learned to many aspects of my work.
Dr Tanya McDonnaugh
Susan was great. She made the training interactive and kept me focused – something that I find hard especially with online learning.
Susana Perrin
Susan was brilliant and so knowledgeable. The training flowed so well and well structured. I now feel able to implement EMDR techniques when working children. Highly recommend this training to anyone.
Ciara McNeill
It was an invigorating 2 days. Susan’s teaching style really helped me consolidate the adaptations. I will definitely be booking Level 2.
Claire Buckley
Susan has a lovely presentation style. I felt so energised and inspired. I used a number of interventions from this training with success in the following days!
Georgina Hughes
I really enjoyed the presenter’s style. She was an excellent and experienced teacher. I particularly enjoyed that she allowed us to see her ‘learning points’ when things didn’t go as well as anticipated. An excellent training session.
