The Grove is really proud of all the fantastic reviews we’ve gathered from professionals who have attended our courses. The voices of our customers are very powerful. We are grateful for all the valuable feedback. You can search and read these genuine comments below.

Each one is from someone who has taken one or more courses with us. Each testimonial is featured with permission from the student. Their motivation is not only to thank us (which is lovely to hear) but also to encourage others toward a similar positive experience.

I have enjoyed interacting with the group and tutors; the discussions with the wider group I have found helpful. I feel the learning experience was abundant this way.

Fantastic, rich and expansive. Both Cabby and Polly blended a mix of teaching with group exploration and facilitated discussions about our own practice and use of the theory in our practice.

Such a good bond with my small group and the whole group felt like it was working really well together. Cabby and Polly did a great job. They were open, reflective and brought their own experience and practice really collaboratively.

The expertise of the facilitators was so very valuable and I think this might have been behind the reluctance/resistance to breakout groups! They were reluctant to be seen as the experts with all the knowledge but they listened and were agile in the way they tailored the course to meet the needs of the group. I really appreciated this. The range of topics covered was good and I will definitely be doing more research in the areas of sensate focus, working with sexual diversity and trauma-informed psychosexual practice.

I really enjoyed the experiential nature of the course. It made me reflect on my own values around sex and intimacy.

Polly and Cabby are fab. The group was great and I and my other study group buddies have really bonded.

I have started to use this work with clients already, and in discussions with my partner.

Student 2022 psychosexual course

It was helpful to experience again how powerful it was being a client again. Generally I find skills practice less helpful than case discussion. Polly and Cabby did adapt skills practice to use specific cases/guidance following earlier feedback from the group which was good.

Notes were good, arrived in advance, really good resources and links to things mentioned in the training have been handed on.

Cabby has been the most enlightening and generous of teachers, such a wonderful experience.

Success stories are individual stories. Each attendee will bring to the course their lived experience and positionality.

So we are very pleased to see diversity in every cohort, which enriches the learning experience for everyone. Working with difference is intrinsic to the way we run our courses.

We have welcomed learners who let us know about dyslexia or ADHD or hearing loss or that they will attend the course with their guide dog.

We circulate course materials in advance of each teaching date, to enable each participant to familiarise themselves according to their own learning style.

These are some of the practical things we can do to support engagement in their course learning. Yet there is always more work to do in supporting inclusivity – and we are open to hearing from each student about their educational needs.

Our commitment to inclusivity is enshrined in The Grove’s Diversity and Respect Statement.
