Testimonials

I found this training event informative, enriching and very inspiring!

Martin is a mine of information and knowledge and an excellent presenter. I thoroughly enjoyed the event.

The training involved a range of teaching/learning methods and there was plenty of opportunity to put learning into practise with role play and small group work. The training videos were particularly helpful.

This therapeutic model is very accessible for those with or without prior DBT experience. It has already begun to inform and enrich my practise.

Thanks Martin and British Isles DBT Training!

Psychological Therapist

The training was very thorough. The instructors made the material understandable, engaging and fun by using examples and demonstrations. I really feel more confident using the DBT skills after taking the course. I will definitely do more courses with British Isles in the future.

Psychiatry Doctor

Janet brings so much experience to the training that is brilliant to learn from. This leads to much of the training being very applied and supported by rich examples. Since the training, I have gone on to utilise the training with confidence in 1:1 sessions with service users in a way which has been really well received!

Ryan

Assistant Psychologist

I found the training very helpful in my understanding of delivering DBT and the skills within this. There was a lot covered in the 5 days but the trainers were very conscious of keeping us active and having regular breaks to aid our conversation.

I found the training interactive which was also very beneficial as it was not death by power point. The videos and role plays were helpful as well.

I feel much more confident now in my role as a DBT therapist.

CBT and EMDR therapist

At the conclusion to the training delivered to my colleagues in South Devon I invited them to give some feedback about whether it was useful and if they would recommend it to their colleagues. I’ve received an entirely and unambiguously positive response from those who attended. Their feedback has been that the content was interesting, compelling and that they would be able to utilise it in their clinical practice. It’s rare for me to have such a universally enthusiastic response to training.

Locality Practice Lead

I found the whole process of getting onto the training and accessing the materials really easy. The enthusiasm and knowledge demonstrated by the trainers throughout the program was fantastic, and the relationship they had with each other was a reflection of the material at times. The space to learn was made to feel very safe and it was easy to engage in the training and at times participate.

Time was given to us so that we could ask specific questions related to our individual needs and we were encouraged to share experiences and relate the material to our work, which improve our engagement and brought the material alive. I feel that as a response to the attention to detail an effort put into the delivery of these sessions it as much easier to deliver DBT within our day to day  practice.

Highly recommend this training to any organisation seeking to improve the impact of the therapuetic support they offer their clients.
