Feedback from a participant on last months’ session:                                                                        

I just attended the zoom call and I thought it was excellent. I am currently completing a Masters in UL in Guidance Counselling and I am teaching in Cork. I thought the advice was so practical and would be easy to implement in my work and very relevant.  I am also a parent and it will benefit my parenting. I loved the idea of a relapse signature this is a concept I know I will use. Just wanted to say thank you

 

Kind regards,

 

Caroline Lafferty
