Student testimonials

The Solo-Soma was very interesting, and this helped me enormously as I was recovering from major health issues. The course has such a wide range of topics and they all flow into the personal life or the client’s work. The course was very informative in drawing on the other factors that can impact emotional regulation. The slides were of top quality, relevant and succinct.

Student 2022 Regulate course

I have more awareness and tools to blend into my own life or to impart knowledge to clients which I did on various occasions during the course modules. I have started exploring the polyvagal as I become more fluent and notice more of the holistic world of my clients.

Student 2022 Regulate course

The course has a very practical application and some clients have responded well and are applying/enjoying what they’ve learned about themselves and managing their own emotional regulation better.

Student 2022 Regulate course

I know that I want to bring more embodied practice into my client work and I feel I trust enough to know who and when this will be helpful with.

Gabrielle 2023 embodiment course

I have become braver in taking risks , inviting clients to move and shift / invite and change what they are feeling. It’s a great addition to the other Grove courses (all excellent) which can have a lot of intellectual rigour. This allows all that learning to find a place in the body. Thank you.

Student 2023 embodiment course

I have learnt more to use my intuition and felt sense to mirror the client and locate the main area of pain. I have introduced some of the practices with clients and it has opened up a new area of working therapeutically.

I found The Grove a very solid organisation to work with. I was very tempted by your relationship/couples training with Eliott and Sarah, after completing the supervision course.

Siân 2023 supervision course

The course has been really helpful, it’s afforded me the opportunity to study with a variety of great tutors, I feel like I’ve learnt so much in the process. The support throughout from The Grove has been great and I’m grateful to have met so many other counsellors, some of whom have become friends. In short, I’m very glad I chose The Grove. I feel my practice as a therapist and supervisor has benefitted immensely.

James 2023 supervision course

My thanks go to Sarah and Elliot and all the superb speakers we’ve all had the honour of learning from. Every weekend has been a learning curve where I have gained in-depth knowledge and understanding (and a surprising confidence that I wasn’t aware of before), with how to apply all the wonderfully rich resources when guiding my clients through their trauma recovery process.

Suzy 2023 trauma course

It’s a great experience to study at The Grove. Thank you very much for your hard work to support us.

Tien 2023 trauma course

I would like to say thank you to you all for a really incredible trauma course; the content, the delivery, the guest teachers and, of course, yourself, Sarah, and Elliot. You’ve both been amazing teachers; kind, funny and supportive the whole way through and I know we’ve all learnt so much from you both. I really couldn’t have picked a better course to meet my needs as a trauma therapist.

Hannah 2023 trauma course

I enjoyed the training and would thoroughly recommend it to others who are looking for comprehensive, non-judgemental, helpful and knowledgeable trainers. I’ve done a lot of CPD over the years and it’s not always of the best calibre, so it was great to be able to learn lots of new things as well as revisiting more familiar topics.
