Compulsive Hoarding with Stoke on Trent's Festival of Practice “I loved this training!"


Last week, in partnership with Stoke on Trent’s very own Expert Citizens Insight Academy I delivered my Compulsive Hoarding course – ‘Trapped and Drowning in My Things.’ This was commissioned by Stoke on Trent City Council’s Learning and Development Academy and was part of their Festival of Practice week. I along with many other trainers and professionals from across the field delivered a wide range of topics to numerous members of staff. By all accounts it was a huge success and feedback has been uniformly brilliant.


The venue was Staffordshire University and it was truly beautiful. Everyone loved the air condition, not so much me, as I can’t bear the thing! Other than that, what a great day we all had. Here are the feedback comments about the course and thanks again to all who have supported my endeavours at both Stoke on Trent City Council and The Insight Academy.
