“Excellent training from an excellent trainer." Compulsive Hoarding with Stoke on Trent City Council, March 2025
As we all know, I absolutely love delivering my training. I enjoy creating my training films, the resources, doing my research and then launching the course. It can be a tad nerve wracking as that voice in the mind, the ‘imposter’ can rear its ugly head and go, really? REALLY? This is what you’ve been working on?’ Well, be away with you imposter voice! If I know one thing for sure, and that is - my Compulsive Hoarding course is pretty darn popular!
This week I re-launched the course with NEW films. We now meet Carolyn and her odious housing officer, Greg. The always wonderful Rob Caton plays Greg with sheer aplomb. Carolyn is played by my brilliant chum Lisa Banes, who got roped in at the very last minute as my other actor was otherwise engaged. Lisa was superb and I always find she’s there for me. What a trooper!
This time I was delivering the training to an array of learners from across Stoke on Trent City Council children and families services. My old stomping ground and as you are all aware, the best place I ever worked. Lovely people, doing wonderful work to support and encourage people into positive lifestyle changes.
Anyhow, pop along to the training and witness Carolyn and Greg in all their glory.
