What do our students say?

"This (MSc) module has helped me consolidate the observational skills I have developed through previous modules and apply it to my practice.  I feel that this has greatly enhanced my abilities as a practioner.” – Feedback from an HDS student studying the MSc Psychoanalytic Observation and Reflective Practice: Therapeutic Work with Children and Young People

Hundreds of professionals have been equipped by HDS and have used the experience in their work as teachers, social workers and in other ‘people-facing’ professions, for example.  Some have shared their experience by returning to teach on our courses, contributed to our conferences and events, and by publishing books and papers.

We wish you all the best in your pursuit of developing your career and hope that you choose HDS to help you further your knowledge and skills.
