The session was extremely interesting and something I will definitely use within my teaching. I found the people leading the course highly knowledgeable and they were able to link everything to a classroom environment.

I feel more able to recognise signs of early trauma and identify which students would benefit from a change in approach.

I have a greater understanding of why students react/behave in the way they do and how I could now react to the situation.

Staff Attachment Training at a School – Class Teachers

‘The best whole school INSET training we have ever had.’- This was just one of many really positive comments from my staff after the Whole School Attachment training delivered by Louise and Kirsty from Beyond Psychology. 

The delivery of the training was pitched just right and was really engaging and many of the staff after the first whole school session, stated that they were ‘hooked’.

Kingsway – Headteacher

I have been extremely impressed with the way that Louise and Kirsty have dealt with delivering this emotive topic to an audience of over 180 staff. They read their audience well and were responsive enough to change the direction of the presentation when and if appropriate. The presentations have been a mixture of engaging activities.

Excellent training form Beyond Psychology today. Every Teacher, TA and parent should do this training.

Matthew Moss High School – Understanding Anxiety in Young People and Those with Complex Needs.

Members of staff are now advocates for children living with developmental trauma. They react more calmly and with understanding. Kirsty and Louise have changed the way we support children with challenging behaviour in our school. Thankyou!

St Mary’s Hawkshaw – Primary School Teachers

I have found their insight and knowledge in the areas of early trauma and attachment to be both highly developed and pertinent to the needs of children in local schools. In the training programmes that we have developed and delivered, the Beyond Psychology team have been able to impart a high degree of expertise in a ‘user friendly’ and engaging way; whilst also being able to respond to the individual issues and scenarios that staff have raised regarding individual children’s circumstances and behaviours.

I just want to add the CARM session (Psychological Consultation & Assessment of Need)and the working relationship has been a fantastic learning experience for me and proved invaluable in my work with other students. I am looking forward to my next session and the continued work when you are in school.

Information given clearly with light hearted moments with a personal touch. All opinions/voices heard and questions answered.

It has been immensely informative. The language used has been easy to understand and I feel I have learnt so much today that will help me in my role at school.

Helping Parents Understand Behaviour in Children with Complex Needs Workshop

Recently completed the anxiety workshop it was very informative and really helped me.

I just wanted to say thank you to Louise and yourself for an amazing workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed setting and you made me feel at home instantly. I enjoyed learning about anxiety in children and how as a parent I can help. Your delivery was very clear, helpful and very thought provoking. I will definitely book onto another workshop in the future.

Understanding & Helping Young Children Manage Worry & Anxiety Workshop

Having just returned from one of Beyond Psychology’s workshops I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are passionate about children and families wellbeing. The strategies that were discussed can be put into practice straight away and are all based on the latest research. I will be checking out their future events! Thank you.

I just wanted to say, thanks to you all for this mornings workshop. I found it really insightful and useful being amongst other parents.

Parent from a Workshop

Highly recommended. We had a great session today. Whether you are looking to attend a course or have a private consultation, you will be in good hands with this amazing team.

Private Consultation

Absolutely appreciate the knowledge and skill that is afforded to me within supervision sessions. Kirsty is always professional and goes over and above to provide advice, guidance and support. Thank you.

Marina Jones Skylight – Supervision

I spent the rest of the night thinking about how those little brains learn so much in the early years. I have worked with a lot of children and families in the early years and not had the foundations to build on. I will be using the ideas everyday with families.

Headstart Co-ordinator

Some members of staff are now advocates for children living with attachment issues. They have a completely different mindset. They react more calmly and with understanding. You and Louise have changed the way we support children with challenging behaviour.

Both Louise and Kirsty delivered this session brilliantly. The environment of the building was fantastic and the refreshments available were top notch. Thank you! Would highly recommend this to my colleagues.

Well timed day, brilliant use of humour really broke up the intensity of the day.

Fantastic course, really detailed and interesting.

Information given clearly with light hearted moments with a personal touch.  All opinions/voices heard and questions answered.

Very informative, interactive and engaging. Wonderful to have a session on developmental trauma without any sense of blame and a good explanation of shame.

Thank you both, out of all the training sessions I have been on this has been the most useful & informative and will impact my practice positively.

I found the workshop excellent – provided a good theoretical grounding and helpful practical advice. I have learnt how to help my son.

I love the handshake, checking in, core beliefs using football. I want you to convert our whole school.

Very knowledgeable about the area, friendly and genuinely care.
