Testimonials from previous attendees of the ‘Talk to the Chair’ workshop:
“The course Iived up to my expectation and I feel more confident in bringing this technique to my Counselling work.”
“The tutor was very experienced, fun and serious in equal measure. I really recommend this course.”
“You don’t have to be a Gestalt counsellor or a counsellor for that matter to attend and benefit fully.”
“Profoundly useful technique that can be used in so many different situations, it’s a waste not to learn it.”
“Highly recommend this course. It was highly informative, left me feeling confident I could apply this technique in the future.”
Fantastic course run by Dennis who I had previously done the Group Facilitation course with. Excellent subject matter, and experiential practice that takes away the fear of using this powerful technique.”
