Hazel is an A class trainer, knowledgeable, funny and charismatic. This training was well paced, varied and very informative. It allowed for reflection and contribution. Excellent two days.

Hazel has been a fantastic instructor-the course was extremely engaging, and really helped me to develop my confidence in supporting people with mental health issues and taking this knowledge back to my organisation.

Paul Butcher, Finance & HR Manager, Stranger and Stranger Ltd
"As an organisation whose staff deal with vulnerable adults and sensitive mental health issues first hand on a daily basis, we felt that there was an urgent need for some formal staff training. Hazel worked with us and perfectly understood our requirement. She delivered two very informative and useful sessions to a wide range of our staff and they all found the sessions engaging, rewarding and even entertaining. Our staff are now better prepared for these challenges and that's something appreciated by them as well as management, our clients and our Customers. Highly recommended".
Chris Lodge, CARE Team, Medicals Direct Group, Capita
