Testimonials from our CPD workshops

  • I was moved by people's openness and willingness to share their personal experiences.

  • Was a very useful and thought provoking workshop providing information and understanding of Neurodiversity and ADHD. I valued Leo's honesty when sharing his story and personal difficulties.

  • Very interesting, inclusive and well presented.

  • Good to hear Leo’s personal journey.

  • Relevant and insightful.

  • This is a topic that is currently widely debated and society’s attitudes to it are in a state of change. Our personal attitudes to it are extremely relevant, l think, to understanding and managing our family and social relationships ( not to mention our relationships with ourselves).

  • I always find the ACPNL workshops - originating, as they do, with a focus on client/therapist relationships and the intention of enriching professional understandings, add a lot to my thinking generally. I thought that Leo’s account of his personal growth and insights over recent years, movingly and effectively made the link between personal and professional and offered a lot of food for thought.

  • I appreciated Christiane's wealth of knowledge and experience and also her down-to-earth approach. There was enough material for a couple of workshops. The material was put across in a way that I easily understood and retained.

  • The speaker was excellent. She covered so much in just 3hrs. Attending this workshop would be most beneficial for anyone working with abused clients. Thank you ACPNL for offering this excellent workshop.

  • It was amazing! Maybe it was even too short, considering the nature of the topic. Reasonable price, a fantastic deliverer, and good timing. I enjoyed having the reading beforehand.
