TESTIMONIALS

What Students & Professionals Are Saying

Really enjoyed this course for both professional and personal learning. All the facilitators were great and I learned lots from each module. I especially learned lots and am intrigued to learn more about eating disorders and sand tray therapy. Loved the art therapy module and that increased my confidence in using it with both adults and adolescence clients. I would recommend the course without hesitation. Thanks Liz and Company.

Terrific learning and a great experience. Would highly recommend the course and Centre to anyone!

Many thanks for your help and support- the course has been amazing and I have loved every minute.

Thoroughly enjoyed this course. The course has not only given me the capacity and capability to work with adolescents, it has also enriched my work with adults. I feel it important to note also the amount of personal development this course quietly promotes. My thanks to all at Greenane for such a wonderful experience.

I loved the practical application of this course. It has given me tools to work with all clients not just young people.

This course is invaluable for anyone who wishes to work with under 18’s. I loved the learning. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone at The Greenane Centre for a thoroughly supportive, in-depth and transformative learning experience. I would highly recommend this training. It was a fantastic blend of in-person and online; among very supportive and engaging facilitators.

Many thanks for an awesome year and a bit! The knowledge and practical information was amazing. I really enjoyed all modules, they were all inspiring and extremely beneficial. For me though the sand tray stood out in a head turning way and has been whispering in my ear since I have completed the workshop it has me spell-bound… I know I will be back to revisit!

I am very happy to have completed The Diploma in Integrative Adolescent Psychotherapy Practice and grateful to Greenane Centre for providing this opportunity. I experienced each module of this course and each module facilitator as very high standard and I learned so much over the past 18 months. Indeed, I can’t imagine having to complete such training in any time shorter than this. I can highly recommend this course to anyone considering Adolescent Psychotherapy as a practice. Thanks to Greeane I now feel confident and well prepared to sit with my adolescent clients in a holistic and integrative way.

Another fantastic course provided by The Greenane Centre.

Thank you very much. I will be back for another one in 2027 hopefully 🙂

Excellent. Learned so much and enjoyed every minute!

What an amazing course! I feel very privileged to have been able to undertake this course of learning. I work with adolescents every day and this course has been invaluable in increasing my competency and confidence in working with this client group. Huge thanks to Liz and Paul at the Greenane Centre for providing such amazing tutors and to the supportive and safe space.

Great course beginning to end, would highly recommend to any therapist interested in working with adolescents. The Greenane Centre are very student friendly and supportive

Wonderful course with great and knowledgeable teachers.

Very well designed course. Comprehensive and on point. It has given me the confidence and grounding in my professional practice as well as deeper understanding of my own neurodivergence.

Great course, full of insightful learning and personal development. This was greatly supported and enhanced by the facilitators who where exceptional in their roles as teachers and people. They were transparent about their own experiences and this held the safety for the group space and process.

Brilliant course. Romy was amazing and the course content was first class.
Thank you so much.

What an amazing course! One of the best I have ever done. Thank you so much for everything.

Excellent course, I wish that I had done it years ago!

I really enjoyed this course and the tutors made the experience so enriching, especially Romy. I have learned so much about neurodiversity an area I was previously lacking, and this has hugely benefited my clinical work.

Such a brilliant course! The facilitation allowed for such rich sharing and learning, and I would highly recommend the course to others.
