What Attendees Are Saying

Thank you Wale for a wonderful learning experience this evening. I am in recovery from alcohol addiction myself (3 years) and also currently a full time student at University studying psychology, and I found your course full of enlightening information. This is the second course I have attended of yours and I think you are incredibly knowledgeable. I attended the Intrusive Thoughts course in Maidstone a couple of years ago now and I am sure I will be back for much more! Sarah G. (15/4/21)

Thank you for your time tonight, the event was very informative and will stand me in good stead for my position as an Occupational Therapist in Addictions that I am starting next week. Rowena H. (15/4/21)

I love all Wale’s courses as he makes the information relatable and easy to understand. All his courses are relevant to me too as I work in a residential rehab for addicts. Julie C., Therapist and Therapy Manager of Residential Treatment Centre (15/4/21)
