What others have said about this training:
“I really liked how all the information & Belinda's experience & style of presenting empowered the group to have confidence in our abilities & made it seem much more of a possibility- which isn't easy. It was also very relatable & honest- with Belinda sharing her lived experience & points of learning. I feel that what she is doing is very generous & powerful for the art therapy profession! I still have a way to go with growing my own confidence around setting up private practice but this most definitely has meant I can start ten steps ahead of where I was before.”
“Thank you Belinda, I feel a lot more confident about going for it now that you've explained all of the ins and outs and things to consider!”
“Belinda was very engaging & so informative!”
