I wanted to take a moment to provide feedback on Kemi’s lecture yesterday. It was truly impactful. It gave me a practical way to understand how certain interactions impact us, and it’s something I’ll definitely take forward in navigating difficult conversations. What really stood out to me was how Kemi facilitated the session in a way that felt both challenging and safe. I genuinely appreciated Kemi’s clarity, depth, and thoughtfulness. This session has been transformative for me.

Consultancy and training sessions

Ama was an engaging speaker who helped our staff with adapting the curriculum to the needs of our pupils. She also ran a fantastic session on solution circles which gave us the tools to discuss issues and resolve them. We have used this technique frequently throughout this term and it has helped to move the school forward. We highly recommend Ama for any SEN staff training needs, her knowledge is invaluable.

Supportive supervision sessions

I would recommend Kemi as a Supervisor, she is knowledgeable and supportive. She made me feel empowered to handle situations I would have found difficult, before I started the sessions. Her approach is so supportive and reflective. I would never have thought of starting any support, talking therapy or similar before, but I am a convert. It is so good!
