Compulsive Hoarding Training with Trent and Dove, June 2025, "Lovely to be trained by someone who clearly understands the demands of the job."

“I will be taking this knowledge into my working practice and will feedback to management what the best procedures are.  Both Steven and Sarah were FANTASTIC and what a combination they made.  I really enjoyed this session.” 

This week I had the pleasure of delivering my Compulsive Hoarding course to Trent and Dove Housing, who offer well-maintained, affordable homes across East Staffordshire, South Derbyshire, and Northwest Leicestershire.

I took my colleague Sarah with me, as she is beginning to learn the ropes with regard to hoarding and hoarding compulsion and has thrown herself into the research.  People remark that Sarah is, ‘like the female you Steven.’  Which I hope Sarah sees as a compliment.  Everyone I train knows how much work I put into creating the course, from the training films to the board games, the interactive nature of each task etc.  Phew it’s exhausting and always rewarding – for both myself and the learners. 

“An excellent course.  The trainer, Steven was probably the best trainer I’ve ever had.  Funny, informative, and I couldn’t fault him.  His wonderful assistant Sarah was also excellent, five stars all round!” 

The course has had a 2025 make over and now includes more hands-on learning tools.  Including  - ‘the boxes’ and the revamped ‘important’ game. 

This is what the absolutely lovely staff from Trent and Dove had to say:

“VERY USEFUL!  I will definitely be putting what I have been taught into practice.  Especially in my role as a housing officer.” 

“Fantastic trainer!  Lovely to be trained by someone who clearly understands the demands of the job and the subject and the pressures we are all under.  WE did highlight the expectations of managers and what we think needs recommending – your approach!” 

“A brilliant course, well delivered and engaging.” 

“A really interesting and informative course, I learned A LOT.  A great tutor.  Thank you.” 

“Great delivery.  Steven made the content easier to understand and digest.  This has been the most engaging course I have ever attended.  Steven is both fantastic and an inspiration.” 

“A great course, kept everyone involved and more importantly engaged.” 

“Well presented and good level of interaction so everyone learned.”
