“Fantastic and one of the most engaging training courses I have ever attended.” Empathy Fatigue with Stoke on Trent City Council, June 2025

“Fantastic and one of the most engaging training courses I have ever attended.”

Connor

Empathy fatigue training as part of Stoke on Trent City Council’s Social Care Practice Week.

I think you can all guess what my feelings were with regard to training a cohort of learners from my old stomping ground, Stoke on Trent City Council…  I LOVED it!  Well, of course I did. The course – ‘Empathy Fatigue 2025’ was created bespoke for them, it addresses the stresses and strains of feeling stuck, when ‘burnout’ is looming and you know something needs to give.  Something must CHANGE.  I have created a course that is both practical and theoretical.  Staff are encouraged to speak openly and honestly in a safe environment. 

“This has been a great session! Some really help strategies to think about and great way to reflect.”

Nicola

This one-day course attempts to address these issues, all the while allowing people to be able to speak freely about their hopes, desires and fears for the future.  I have created a course that (hopefully) goes some way in aiding professionals in embracing a new state of wellness.  It’s all about addressing fatigue, how to become unstuck and how to navigate the ever changing demands of the stress cycle of work. 

On with the feedback, 100% positive and super rewarding for me, I know I’m on the right track with this course:
