“ I have worked with Iola in a criminal justice setting on a number of occasions. She has an excellent understanding of the contextual challenges associated with working with people diagnosed with personality disorder in this setting. She is both mindful and challenging of the attitudinal and environmental barriers that exist in this context. Her approach to this challenge is robust and genuine and I have seen real personal change and shift in attitudes in the staff that she has delivered training to. Staff have often commented that what they learnt the most from during the training were the experiences shared by Iola. Outside of the training room Iola is organised, committed and professional. Her ability to manage competing demands from  a range of services against a limited resource and budget is second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending Iola as an experienced trainer and expert in the field of personality disorder”.
