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.

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.

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.
Sophia 2025 trauma

I absolutely loved the course. The course content and how it was delivered. There isn’t anything I’d change.

I’m honestly blown away by this.
I loved the training with Sarah and Elliott so much. I am already looking at two other courses I would love to do with The Grove.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the supervision course.

Claudio 2024 supervision
I have already recommended you to two of my clients, and signposted them to the courses you offer.
Emma 2025 self-study

I wanted to extend my thanks for such an enlightening and powerful study day yesterday, it has released a huge amount of shame I’ve been carrying all my life.  This alone is life changing.  As well as all the other information mapped out in the 10 domains and how to put this into context with scaffolds etc.   I will always be grateful to you all.

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.
