| Lecturer and presenter
"Richard,
Thank you so much for taking the time to see us on Wednesday
for a fantastic talk on hypnotherapy and further aspects of
psychology.Your talk was relaxed and involving, and allowed Westonbirt and Rednock psychology students an opportunity to expand their knowledge, and those visitors who do not do psychology to explore the topic first hand. [Your] Relaxation techniques will certainly come in handy over the next couple of years, especially with all of the exams we are so eagerly anticipating! Thanks again for giving us such insight, especially how by 'emptying our bottles' we are able to cope much better. On behalf of Westonbirt, Rednock and visitors, thanks." A. Davies, June 2007 |
