I recently completed the Diploma in Trauma Therapy at The Grove Practice, and I wanted to thank you again for the quality of the training and supervision—it has had a lasting impact on my clinical work.

So glad I have completed this training. So very helpful and transformative for me personally and my clients. So much to implement and I feel it’ll take a while to full absorb all that has been provided (again!)

Thank you Chris and tutors, this is wonderful news and I feel privileged to have been able to take part in the course.

This has been a transformative growth experience for me, both from a learning, professional perspective as well as a human perspective, with the opportunity to meet intelligent, caring and benevolent human beings.

I hope to have the opportunity to join another course at some point in the future.

Again a heartfelt thank you.

I’ve attended The Grove’s occasional free webinar talks with practitioners specialising in energy healing and the wilds of nature in their therapy practice. The Grove’s provision of free webinars are a great way of boosting knowledge and collecting CPD hours for practitioners with a limited training budget.

Good CPD, in my experience, contributes to self care as well as knowledge building – I have left every Grove webinar attended so far feeling restored and reconnected.

I also appreciate that the people at the Grove are unafraid of the more subtle and transpersonal elements aspect of our profession and will dive into topics such as energy work without compromising on rigour, which has helpfully steadied my own doubts about maintaining credibility while bringing a variety of different types of practice into my work.

The Grove’s CPD conference 2025 was a solid session of informative and topical presentations and discussions. 

My knowledge on the areas covered – intimacy and relationships, trauma therapy and supporting clients with ADHD – was affirmed and expanded by the talks, and there was an excellent exchange of support and information among online attendees in the chat facility. I’d have no hesitation in attending any training the Grove offered.

The presenters – all Grove directors – shared their knowledge with warmth and professionalism, and did a smooth job of holding group discussion with online and in-person attendants.

I’m already on the lookout for next year’s event!

I really appreciate the course and I am always referring back to the reading and resources.

Claire 2024 trauma

I have enjoyed the course very much and consider it a privilege to have had so many knowledgeable specialist tutors, not least yourself Sarah. I look forward to being able to practice as a supervisor, using the knowledge that I have gained.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to enrol in and complete the Trauma Course. It has been incredibly valuable for my work, both as a trainee counsellor in IAPT and in my NHS practitioner role, which has even led to a promotion. I’ve taken so much from the teaching, peers, and supervision. It has really confirmed how much I want to continue developing towards becoming a trauma therapist. So thank you again for creating such a meaningful learning experience.
