What Graduates Say

“To begin with, I want to say that when the T2C programme was recommended to me, people who recommended it said that you care about the participants. The exact quote was “nobody ever cared that much about me successfully finishing the programme”. Now having gone through it I completely agree with this. It is incredibly inspiring when a professional whom you deeply respect not only tells you that you’ll be fine but takes particular actions to help and support you on your way.”

“I’d like to thank Trish and all my cohort of colleagues for making this course such a supportive and even joyful experience.  I came as a therapist, but also with years’ working as a lawyer, board chair and non-exec. T2C prized all that experience in who I am as a coach.”

“More than that, it’s drawn out the richness of bringing my creativity and spiritual depth to coaching, my lived experience of being gay and a dad. All the challenges and perspectives they bring. As I like to say, using all of me to help all of you.”

“T2C met me where I was at. By the end, I’d unleashed more potential than I’d realised I even had when I started. But then… that’s the joy of coaching!”

“The environment was supportive, encouraging and therefore quickly built rapport within which to learn and face challenge. I am a shy introvert, but the group size and make-up worked well (indeed, for me, probably better online than F2F, regardless of logistics). Zoom was well-handled: material was well and professionally prepared without being slick in an insincere way.”

“The T2C course has been a truly fascinating and creative experience.  One year of hard work, group discussions, learning, reading, self-reflection, and personal growth. I was able to weave together all aspects of my professional and personal experience to develop my unique approach to coaching.”

“I now feel grounded and hopeful. It’s an amazing feeling to embark on something new – helping others discover their true path in life.”

“The course was easy to follow and had a clear logic.  I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the taught component, with a great balance between large and smaller groups.  The trainer was inclusive and was able to attend all training needs, creating space for questions and interaction – a lot of learning took place in that space.” 

“I am already using all the course materials, which were a map into navigating the coaching world! I have developed the areas that are more appropriate to my values and personal and professional interests. “

“I can’t even begin to express how deeply grateful I am to all of you for your hard work and support! This course has been an incredible experience – I’ve learned so much, felt completely free to be myself, and really found my niche in coaching. It’s been truly transformative, opening up a whole new path for me both professionally and personally.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the training throughout.  What I particularly valued was the opportunity to bring my own voice from the start. I had come into coaching feeling as though I may have to leave my therapeutic knowledge at the door and what Trish offered was anything but that.”

“Throughout, there was a deep respect for the variety of modalities and skills that we all brought.”

“Through Trish’s approach I have developed a depth of confidence in who I am as a coach which extends beyond what I had imagined. Thank you so much for the space, knowledge and your expertise, which you shared so generously.”

“I’d had my interest in coaching piqued by a colleague a couple of years ago, but had really struggled to find a course that would suit me.  The Therapist to Coach course was highly recommended to me by a colleague, and my first enquiry conversation with Trish persuaded me to go for it – Trish was straight talking, honest and immediately made me think in a slightly different way, everything you’d want from a coach!”

“The course felt like a real opportunity to explore some emerging terrain for me in a supportive and safe space. It gave me the chance to re-evaluate my knowledge through a new lens, test out some assumptions (including ones I didn’t know I had) and work out more clearly what I did and didn’t want from my professional life.”

“The course really felt like it suited me as someone with a lot of experience in working in mental health and wellbeing and it was great to be on a course where I was actively encouraged to find my own way of navigating my learning and development, rather than being told ‘there’s one model and this is it!’ Trish has been supportive throughout the process and I highly recommend the course for anyone looking for a new challenge.”

“I have truly loved this course. More than training and an accreditation, I felt I gained a network of similar, like-minded individuals who aligned with my values and helped me explore a new world of business potential. I found the tutorials imperative and Trish was incredibly supportive to help me get through and pass the course. It has helped me gain confidence in the skills I already had to grow my business and enter a space I had wanted to for a long time.”

“I’m glad I took my time to research courses because, unlike other professional courses I’d seen, its specifically tailored to mental health professionals, both taking into account and building on existing competencies via a structured programme of learning and supervised practice.  The clincher for me was that Trish is both an experienced therapist and coach.  Following a number of supervised skills practice sessions during part one of the programme, I was delighted that I felt confident enough in my skills to start working with coachees.  Trish is a supportive, experienced and knowledgeable trainer and I would recommend the course without hesitation.  It’s been an excellent investment and I’ve now been able to successfully expand my private practice to include coaching and am very much enjoying the variety of work that I’m doing as a result.“

“Trish provided a very nurturing, curious, and encouraging learning environment. Trish is extremely generous with her time to attend to any queries and provide guidance and clarity anytime needed. She is an amazing trainer, her therapy and coaching skills come through the approach she has to train which is a caring, empowering and nurturing approach.  T2C is well designed and was delivered at an appropriate pace. The structure of the course is very clear.  I find the (assessment) feedback very useful as it references to all parts of the portfolio and the work that I have submitted. The feedback is very clear and highlights strengths and areas that can be improved.  The tutorials for me were like coaching sessions, thought provoking, generous with time and knowledge and excellent guidance given by Trish. A big thank you to Trish for running such great training course, her warm and caring approach, her guidance and knowledge”

“I found Trish very proactive. I like that course materials were sent well ahead of starting the course. Being able to understand the expectations for completing the course and gaining accreditation at the beginning, meant I was clear on what I needed to do and could plan. I found it useful to be given notes and videos ahead of workshops. I found Trish particularly encouraging and supportive and will highly recommend the course.”

“The trainer’s style was engaging and she achieved the difficult balance of being totally professional, but also of making the learning fun. The organisation of the course was superb and the administrative support I received was outstanding too.  The tutorials and support were incredibly helpful. Trish was really understanding, and what made the experience so positive for me was that she believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Trish gave her time generously and I am truly grateful for that.  Finally, I just would like to say a huge thank you. I started the course doubting myself and feel I have grown so much through the course.  Many, many thanks.”

“The supportive atmosphere throughout the training was ideal for learning and made asking questions and further discussion more possible.  I felt the training gave a very balanced and realistic view of what is required on the course and for working as a coach.  I left feeling very inspired and enthusiastic about the work ahead.”

“The workshop exceeded my expectations. Trish is one of the most encouraging, knowledgeable and fun trainers I have ever experienced. This is a quality course that requires hard work (as it needs to be to meet the requirements of a Senior Practitioner in Coaching), but Trish created a safe, challenging and enjoyable experience. I was looking around at different courses and I’m VERY happy that I chose this one.”

“I really valued meeting a new group of therapist to coach peers who have now become an important part of my coaching network. I also really valued not having to start from ‘scratch’ with coaching training, it was great to know that all participants had training and experience already as therapists to build on. Finally, I really felt that Trish cared about each of us and that we achieved our own personal outcomes at our own pace. I felt very supported throughout the course.”

“This course has been positively life changing for me, allowing me to value my existing skill set in a very different way.”

“I cannot praise the support the tutor provided for me enough. She was incredibly helpful, supportive, compassionate and, also (when needed) gently challenging. I only wish I had a tutor like her 20 years ago!

This support helped me to really explore my learning in depth and feel safe to challenge myself in a positive way. Thank you.

I would absolutely recommend this programme to others (and I already have). The T2C training managed to find an amazing balance between being rigorous and challenging, whilst also being a fun and enjoyable environment and experience. My expectations were more than met.”

“This was a superb course from start to finish.  It is hard to find the ‘right’ training to become a coach, particularly as an experienced therapist where there is a lot of transferable learning.  The content was pitched perfectly and the learning environment respectful, challenging but also hugely supportive.  While I learnt a great deal, more importantly the programme gave me the confidence to begin my coaching and then, on completion and graduation, to launch my full coaching career.  I am hugely grateful to Trish and the supporting team, the group I was a member of and, overall that I chose this particular course to move into coaching.”

“The programme exceeded my expectations. I am dyslexic and have had a lifetime of challenges with producing written work. For the first time ever, I really felt that someone (Trish) really wanted to support me to complete the course. She took time to understand what would work for me when it came to learning and evaluation. Not only did I learn about how to develop and enhance my psychotherapy skills and apply them to coaching. I came to truly understand what it meant to be treated equally in the learning process. “

“This programme far exceeded my expectations, the best training I have undertaken. Professional, well designed and executed, enjoyable. I would highly recommend. Trish was very in tune with the needs of her participants and was able to skilfully adapt the program to suit our needs in the moment. The tutorials helped to individualise the learning experience. Trish’s commitment to this added a degree of extra care that sets this quality course above others.“

“Trish is extremely supportive and generous with her time and expertise. I was blown away by the amount of support offered and am very grateful. Trish was very generous with the information provided and delivery was excellent. Very engaging and responsive to the groups needs. She was really flexible and responsive to the needs of every delegate.  Trish is very accepting and flexible which fosters a learning environment which feels comfortable to learn and experiment without judgment and shame.   The online experience was excellent.”
