I love running workshops and am an experienced teacher, trainer and workshop facilitator, drawing on many years work in the world of education and as a workshop leader for therapists and social workers. My approach is interactive and flexible. I aim to combine focus on a core objective with space to be responsive to participants needs and create a space in which people feel safe to take risks and explore.
