Esther delivered a course with a difficult subject matter in a sensitive and engaging way. I am used to normally tuning out somewhat during training courses (especially remote) I attend for work but in this instance, I was fully engaged the whole time. Would absolutely recommend her as a trainer.

Esther has delivered two sessions so far for us on mental health and wellbeing. The most recent session focussed on managing stress, covering the things that stress you and others, plus helpful and unhelpful ways of coping with stress.  It was practical, accessible, enlightening and all the all the better for being delivered from a place of lived experience.  We received excellent feedback from our deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent trainees and will be using Esther again.

The group coaching programme was so valuable on many levels, and Esther was a really supportive, calming practitioner, she fostered an inclusive, respectful talking space. I learnt so much about authenticity, the different kinds of support needed in relationships, and how to identify my emotions and handle them with care, and how all of that feeds into our feelings of connection and belonging. I would definitely recommend this programme!

I am grateful for this opportunity to have joined this group. It gave me a deeper insight and understanding of what authenticity really means and what the components of good relationships are. How to have good relationships, maintain and stop them when they are no longer aligned with our needs and authentic self.

Prior to working with Esther, I struggled with the perception others had of me, and lack of confidence in my decision making. After working through coaching sessions with Esther over a period of 6-12 months, I have gained insight and clarity on this in order to reflect and gain confidence to make decisions with certainty based on my own judgement and wants, without the need to appease others. Esther is a tentative listener, gently encouraging reflection, and challenged me in a safe environment, ultimately providing me with the knowledge and tools to support my growth and I now feel more empowered as an individual, which is an invaluable feeling.

Esther was a supportive, understanding and encouraging coach. The experiences and the guidance she shared made all the difference – it was a pleasure to spend my two training days with her! 10/10 recommend.

Just wanted to say thank you for the last few weeks of MHFA training. It has been incredibly useful – feel much more equipped practically and have more confidence in holding conversations and offering first aid and support. You delivered it all with clarity and at a nice pace!”

Excellent course, very well delivered. Felt like a very safe space to ask questions and Esther has a wealth of knowledge.

I felt the course was well structured and the right length (2 days). The instructor was fantastic, patient and unassuming. The amount of engagement/break-out groups was spot on. Thank you.

Esther’s sessions are simply excellent. Her strength in navigation of complex issues is driven and embedded by a clear care for others and their mental safety and well being is testament to Esther’s expertise within the field. Esther creates a psychologically safe space in which to explore and express the strengths and weaknesses of us as training practitioners. Her work on the self and boundary management is something that I carry in my day to day and professional practice, and has almost instantaneously made a positive difference.

I cannot say thank you enough for the time and the care that has been put into developing these sessions that were a joy to attend.
