Testimonials

“…The difference between Sam and other consultants is that she speaks human. She is a real person, who understands other real people; all of the staff could see that and relate to her. Rather than rolling our eyes at another day of someone coming to tell us a load of impractical tosh, we had fun and learnt stuff that will be of real use in our daily lives. A complete joy to work with, leading to practical and positive outcomes.”

“…I invited Sam in to speak to our Year 11s after their mocks so they could reflect on the process and specifically on how to cope with their anxiety around exams. Several girls complained that they couldn’t afford to miss maths and science for a talk….Until they met Sam! She is so totally engaging, they were immediately focussed and took in every word, story, anecdote and joke. Two hours later they spontaneously applauded. Sam gets them. They all left having really enjoyed the presentation with lots of practical tips and ideas they were keen to try out. No-one regretted missing maths or science! Next year we will invite her to speak with the parents and staff too. Thanks so much Sam!….”

“…Sam was an exceptional speaker. Engaging, knowledgeable, and funny, Sam was the best speaker we have had talk on the subject of neurodiversity. She made the topic fresh, relevant and the staff here found it hugely relevant. I would strongly recommend her to any school looking to make their classrooms more inclusive….”

“…Sam delivered a superb workshop on ADD/ADHD/OCD, stress and anxiety to our pastoral team of Housemasters and Housemistresses. The content was excellent and extremely relevant to the audience who enjoyed and benefitted from the morning. Her delivery is outstanding and created an open, interactive and purposeful atmosphere. Best of all, it was also a lot of fun and that is not easy to achieve with such important topics…”

“…we engaged Sam for three days of training and consultancy …which proved to be an excellent choice and decision. We would recommend Sam without hesitation to any school. She is a fountain of knowledge, wisdom and advice and possesses that rare quality of being able to motivate all around her. She is entertaining and charming but also exceedingly hard-working and thorough. Rarely have we come across such an outstanding practitioner…”

“…I had seen Sam in action previously at the Mental Health in Schools Conference and had recieved training from her on the SENCo Specialist Course. That’s why when I began my post as SENCo and was set my first task to plan whole school CPD, I couldn’t think of anyone better to deliver the mental health based training I had in mind. Sam didn’t disappoint. As always she was engaging, interesting, upbeat, informative and abreast of all the current best practice recommendations. The staff still comment that it was the most interesting and enjoyable inset day training that we’ve ever had…”
