I recently had the pleasure of having a one-on-one workshop with Emily for her ’10 Step Workbook for Adults with OCD’. Emily presented the workshop in an engaging manner with compassion and a high degree of professionalism. The workshop was well structured, clinically relevant and filled with practical ways to engage with clients.
The workbook itself is easy to follow, without too much jargon and I believe a real asset for any client wanting to manage their symptoms. It was very clear from talking to Emily the high level of expertise she has in this area and her passion for treatment. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone with an interest in OCD.
