“Ellie was really friendly, helpful and made the training really accessible. It was clear she has a wealth of experience and insight, but was able to communicate it in a straightforward, and not overwhelming way. The training was great and am excited to trial this way of working as part of my ongoing practice.”

“I highly recommend Ellie Finch as a consultant in Minecraft for Therapists. She has expert knowledge of working with clients in Minecraft and shares her experiences in a really engaging way with enthusiasm and also patience for those of us that are not as used to working and playing in Minecraft. She has a clear way of explaining the necessary steps to ensure a secure setting for working in this software and does so with a warm and enthusiastic touch. I am now happily trying out Minecraft as I can really see how this can be vital resource for working with clients in all age groups, but especially young people. An innovative training for a cutting edge way of working therapeutically.”
