Workshop Testimonials and Reviews

Peter’s workshop for church leaders on sex addiction and pastoral care was extremely well received by all who participated due to a mix of relevant input, testimony, and space to do some processing for ourselves. He kept the focus on personal transformation through the gospel whilst being helpfully honest about the journey. At the end of the day many church leaders were asking about the possibility of a longer course for churches.

Peter has a relaxed and informative style of presenting using visual and verbal aids to explore the subject he is presenting. I found his presentations on Sex Addiction and GSRD helpful and educative for my work as a counsellor.

The Introduction to Sex and Pornography Addiction workshop surpassed my expectations. The explanations were clear, the delivery was excellent, but most of all the compassion for the subject matter was outstanding. It is a difficult topic to discuss and most of the time it is swept under the carpet, so it was incredibly helpful to have a structured talk with handouts to aid reflection both during and afterwards. The content was insightful and the speakers clinical experience was evident and effectively communicated. I came away feeling better equipped in this area, and more confident in my own understanding of it.

The (sex addiction and pastoral care) workshop was highly relevant to me as an incumbent Vicar. There were no ‘stupid questions’ and Peter held the course very safely, respectfully and professionally. The content was presented accessibly. We were given the latest facts and information about a fast-evolving subject as well as valuable perspectives and insights from practice which carried across a range of important ministerial domains.

The learning has been extremely valuable subsequently. It has given me greater compassion, insight and confidence when dealing with this issue in ministry. It is a topic that rarely features in formational training or IME and yet is something that comes up in ministry. Given that it is so complex and highly sensitive for those involved - expert guidance and training is essential. I have certainly been very grateful to have benefitted from Peter’s course. I have already recommended it to others, and I commend it again.
