Testimonials

  • Participant, February 2017

    Excellent. The depth of the presentations and case examples was very helpful in understanding the core concepts and techniques in Parent Infant Psychotherapy. All the therapists were very generous in showing their own work, highlighting the individuality of each therapist's style.

  • Participant, February 2017

    Very useful and inspiring. It answered a lot of questions around what PIP is, who is it beneficial for and who is it not, what its main principals are, what possible applications can be used to different services. The trainers had a strong understanding of their practice and could see it from a critical as well as contemporary point of view.

  • Participant, February 2017

    An excellent, in depth course with a varied number of presenters. Use of video's and case studies and a number of different presenting styles meant that I remained focussed and interested throughout.

  • Participant, February 2017

    Really good. Very focused and informative. Really enjoyed the teaching, this was excellent, a good balance of methods of delivery and time to think / discuss.
