MANAGER TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
We have enjoyed and been so thankful to work with you. The difference you have made to us and our team at PMC has been amazing and has really helped everyone get through the last year. You have such a great way of delivering what can be quite challenging messages. You are such a strong and brilliant trainer and all-round awesome person.
Sharon Bassindale, Paul Mason Consulting
Colette is a superb trainer and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I am extremely grateful for the courses she delivered for us and will not hesitate to have her back to deliver again.
Her relaxed personality comes across in her delivery of courses and the sessions she has delivered for us are so professional but personal.
The sessions are fun but informative and where need to be, interactive. She allows people the opportunity to offer their thoughts and ideas during the sessions but understands the need not to always receive this. She makes you feel welcome and conversation always flows.
Colette is a wonderful person to work with. She is kind, caring, attentive to peoples needs and delivers on your expectations, nothing is ever too much!

Colette’s physical delivery - movement around the room - was one of the best deliveries of training I’ve ever seen.
Participant - Mental Health First Aid
Well structured, with varied methods used in conveying the message. I gained knowledge & it didn’t feel arduous.
I feel like I learnt so much on this course, I will now approach all conversations, even those not about mental health , in a totally different way.
Excellent course, great instructor. Subject matter handled well, and conveyed respectfully with the the right amount of gravitas without being, pardon the pun, depressing, or heavy going. It was clear to see that Colette really cared about mental health, and her experience has been instrumental in driving awareness of disorder that effect so many people but often are not given as much attention as physical conditions.
Colette presented the course brilliantly. I found the course so engaging, the time went very quickly. The breakaway sessions were good to talk in depth with a partner about the topic.
Participant, Mental Health Aware
Thank you to Colette for delivering an excellent course. It was a good mix of learning styles (slides, group discussion, activities, video clips) and the course progressed at a good rate.
Ben P, participant, Mental Health First Aid
The course delivery was great. What I found most useful were the suggestions in how to support someone. I will be recommending this for more of our staff to complete so I will be in contact soon I hope!

EMPLOYEE TRAINING TESTIMONIALS
Colette was fantastic! One of the best trainers I’ve ever had!
Participant, Bespoke Workplace Wellbeing training.
Everyone was engaged for the entire session. The information was useful, the structure was great, the connection of Colette with the audience was outstanding! I absolutely loved it. Thank you Colette.
Thank you so much for today’s course. It is great to have a better understanding of all mental health issues and I would love to learn more. Colette was so warm, caring and friendly to us all. I hope that I have the pleasure of being on another one of her courses.
The course was absolutely amazing! I feel so confident and equipped to deal with any issues that may arise in or out of the work space. I particularly enjoyed the exercises that demonstrate how people may feel in a crisis (not being listened to and hearing voices). Colette was really warm and was brilliant at getting us engaged in the exercises. She was really open to differing opinions and discussion. The course was incredibly useful, and I would highly recommend!
This is an excellent course. It was exceptionally well run by Colette whose openness and expertise created a safe and validating space for discussion. It was so interesting to be part of a diverse group with a range of professional and personal experiences. Overall, this has been an intense and rewarding course and of immense value to me in my personal and professional life. Thank you.
Colette was great. She was very good at helping to us understand common misconceptions, and also to be aware of inadvertently saying the wrong things to someone who is experiencing mental health difficulties. The information regarding starting a mental health conversation, and referring to the strategies for how to listen actively were really useful. Many thanks.
I would like to say that Colette is one of the best instructors I’ve had the pleasure in meeting. She is very knowledgeable, non-judgemental and just a lovely woman who delivered the course amazingly. Thank you.

EDUCATION PROFESSIONALS
Thank you Colette for such a dynamic session. I feel better equipped in understanding behaviour and knowing how to respond. I loved the 'hat' messages - a brilliant visual cue!
Lecturer - Abingdon and Witney College
Colette adapts her approach to each and every young persons needs and has a wealth of experience which is why in my opinion her work is so successful. It's a very unique approach and this is why the results are so positive. I am confident that Colette certainly has equipped many of the students that she worked with to better manage once they left college and went out in to the world of work.
Michelle Elkins, Autism Specialist, SENSS.
I truly believe what makes this programme unique is the fact it is so creative, underpinned by current research and theory, delivered by a true professional who has great healing power to truly listen. If you spend 30 minutes with her, you will see what I mean. Her infectious energy, drive and enthusiasm to support others is palpable.
