Announcing a new development...
A chronicle of our events, training courses and webinars which will be sent out every 2-3 weeks. This means the Substack Newsletter and One-a-Penny are able to focus exclusively on articles, book reviews, techniques and stories. All training courses, supervision, dates and fees will be on the website and Daisy’s Diary. This will make the Newsletter less diffuse and we hope clearer.
Please remember if you are a subscriber to the Newsletter, you gain free webinars and reductions on UK training. You can also enjoy NDP Meetings on various topics and free consultations, please see dates below.
Supervision
The current supervision groups are full. I can create a new group on Tuesday evenings, 6.00-7.30, starting September, £25 per person per session, payable 4 sessions in advance. Please register your interest by emailing us on admin@ndpltd.org and you will be sent autumn dates.
