Testimonials from professionals who attended the CBT & MI workshops
Samantha Doyle – Psychotherapist
I attended Susi’s two-day workshop on Weight Management using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Interventions.
I had a wonderful experience on this training course and Susi is a wonderful trainer and presenter.
I learned a lot about the reasons why traditional weight loss programmes have never worked long term, and new techniques to overcome this.
I found that Susi was very helpful and put a lot of work into the content and delivery of this course. She gave practical examples and demonstrations of how to apply this in real life with clients and for myself.
Susi gave me a huge amount of information based on research and is very supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend this course to anyone including psychotherapists, counsellors, nutritionists, or anyone working with clients that are struggling with Weightloss. This training course will equip you with the knowledge and interventions to help you and your clients to achieve weight loss successfully and maintain your results.
Thank you Susi for a very informative and practical training course. I now feel confident in working with clients with weight loss for better successful and lasting outcomes.
Melissa Hanley – Psychotherapist
I have attended Susi’s first two day IACP accredited workshop on applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing with clients to support them in changing their lifestyle and to lose weight. Susi was a fantastic presenter and the content of the workshop was not only evidence based research but reflected on people’s experiences also. I am eager to implement the skills and what I have learned from Susi in my clinical practice to help my clients gain insight into their relationship with food and overall well-being. Thank you susi for providing not only your knowledge in this area but for a really engaging and interesting workshop. I can highly recommend this to nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, counselors and psychotherapists to inform their practice. Thanks susi
Frances Walsh – Psychotherapist
I attended Susi’s first 2-day IACP accredited workshop on applying CBT and MI in working with clients with issues around food/weight. Susi is a very engaging trainer, the materials she presented are well researched and evidence-based, and the workshop was interactive and informative. The training will be particularly helpful for psychotherapists or nutritional therapists in working with clients with emotional eating behaviours and in changing mindsets to decrease sabotaging behaviours. Thank you Susi
Barbara Edwards – Life Coach
I am delighted that I decided to attend Susi’s workshop. I got so much from it and I can’t wait to implement it through my coaching practice here in Donegal. Susi delivers in such a relaxed and informative way making the learning a thoroughly engaging and enjoyable process. Highly recommended. Thank you so much Susi
Aine Connaire – Psychotherapist
I just attended Susi’s mind over body workshop for professionals and would highly recommend it to any psychotherapists or nutritionists who are interested in learning more about how to help their clients develop a healthy lifestyle and improve their relationship with themselves and their health. I learnt so much and gained loads of information and tools that I am looking forward to using with my clients in my own work as a psychotherapist. Thanks Susi!
Olivia Beck – Nutritionist
