Delegate reviews of the Advanced Certificate
"Hi there Julia,
Many thanks again for the time and effort you put into delivering the Advanced Certificate Workshop on-line. I know I find Zoom teaching draining particularly when feedback is needed, but I thought the course was excellent and every bit as good as in-person - thank you so much. I feel that I have learned a huge amount and having the notes to go back over is incredibly useful. I definitely feel significantly more equipped and confident to work with eating disordered clients going forward. "
"Good morning Barbara, I hope you are well.
Firstly a big thank you for allowing me to attend the recent Advanced Certificate in Eating Disorders course. I really enjoyed the monthly sessions and learnt so much that will help me in my daily work as a Health Trainer for a District Council. As I mentioned to yourself and Julia I do not have a counselling background, but having attended this course and having read the Understanding Your Eating book I will be applying to a course this year. I have discussed this with my manager as an addition to the ‘behaviour change’ approach, as I think this would really enhance my ability to understand and help clients who the conventional approach has not worked for. My depth of understanding of Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating and other disordered eating has increased and I can identify previous clients who disappeared from our service in the past, and I now have an insight into how I could have better supported them. I also now understand more the reason why some people come to my 10 week healthy lifestyle course full of hope and positivity and start well, but then sometime during the 10 weeks they disappear and do not contact to discuss and I will address this before participants start the programme in future courses.
The zoom approach was great, not having to travel made it accessible to people from all over the country which was helpful to many of us. Thank you for your work in sending out all the pre-course reading and subsequent information following sessions."
"I so enjoyed both of my training courses with Julia last year, and I am using UYE with clients individually a lot now. I find it works really well on Zoom. I send them the workbook chapter by chapter and we work through it in a session."
"I just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed this course. I have learnt concepts and ideas that I have been able to use in my practice, but also, have felt a level of increased confidence in that there is much that you have shared Julie that completely resonates with the way I work with my clients. It is the ‘attachment’ consideration in relation to ED’s that I have found fascinating, both personally and professionally. I’d love to pursue that further. Your way of presenting is particularly engaging. I am very envious."
Delegate review of Advanced Certificate - Anorexia
"I have had to share this with you both; I sent my first letter to a client's Dr today, via email, out of concern for her disordered eating, tipping close to anorexia.
They've contacted her, listened to her and arranged tests and a physical examination at the practice. I am over the moon, as is she, and so grateful for what I've learnt so far on your fantastic course.
I've even managed to get a wonderful nutritionist on board and three clients have made contact with her and working on the food side. Would never have achieved this without the ED course so, Thank You!!"
Delegate review of Understanding Your Eating Training
I am thoroughly enjoying the UYE training. I originally joined the course to try and help someone else. However, in the process, I have learned as much, if not more, to also benefit myself. I am captivated by Julia’s wealth of knowledge and her insightful way of presenting the extensive material. What I have learned through this programme is, without doubt, the most user-friendly and effective way of approaching a healthy relationship with food. I cannot recommend this training more highly, as it certainly has been one of the best things that I have ever signed up for.
"The UYE training has been fantastic - interesting, enjoyable, and thought provoking.I am sad it's over now - it's been brilliant! It has been so valuable to me to be able to learn and think about difficulties with food from a non-CBT perspective, and for this to still be an evidence-based approach. Julia has so much knowledge and experience, it's been such a privilege to learn from her. Thank you"
"I just wanted to say Julia’s training was remarkable, and I found her approach brilliant. I will keep her updated about our groups, especially as they appear to be quite successful so far".
UYE Modules
I have absolutely loved doing Julia's courses and have thoroughly enjoyed learning more about how to work with and help my clients. I have used the modules and introduction with so many clients and found it extremely helpful. I have even used the material with clients that have not got eating disorders and tweaked it to be relevant for them. It is incredibly useful and has made me a better and more informed therapist. The courses are incredibly valuable. Thank you so much Julia.
Saturday Seminars - Narcissism
"I just wanted to let you and Julia know that I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s session.
This is a subject that I have become increasingly fascinated by, and I was very grateful to add to my learning from Julia’s experience".
