In September 2023, I completed 3 days of projective-arts training Oaklander style with this wonderful group of hospice counsellors at St Peter & St James Hospice in Sussex, who are working with grieving children and young people.
If you’d like to find out how I could offer similar training at your organisation, do please get in touch.
