Joanne is an exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and organised trainer who brings both expertise and authenticity into every session. She is highly skilled in what she does, holds the room with ease while creating a safe, comfortable environment where people feel supported and confident to stretch themselves. You can hear a pin drop when she speaks! Joanne’s down-to-earth, humorous approach also allows her to get the very best out of every participant as she places importance on trust, respect and understanding throughout. I would highly recommend Joanne every single time.

David

Operations Manager

I attended a trauma-informed training course with Joanne that was both insightful and impactful. The knowledge gained has been invaluable in my role as a housing officer in the local community. Joanne’s engaging delivery really made me think. This training is a must in my industry. Highly recommend!

Lisa

Housing Officer –

I attended one of Joanne’s training courses, and from the very beginning, her friendly and approachable nature made me feel completely at ease. Joanne uses a range of different learning styles, which kept the group focused and engaged, while also making complex topics, such as brain development, much more understandable. She was happy to take questions and signpost additional materials to support further learning. I would highly recommend Starlight Connections as a training provider.

Janice

Adoption Social Worker

I feel more confident in my own ability, as whilst I believe I was demonstrating most of these behaviours in my role already, I feel the training has enhanced this and outlined a clear framework for me to follow and be more consistent. I don’t have anything that I believe would improve the course as it was clearly designed to help me improve my knowledge and how I can deliver a great service for our young people and support them in the right way. A massive THANK YOU to both Claire and Joanne who were brilliant. I’ve facilitated sessions in other industries and their knowledge was impeccable and loved how they brought everything to life.

Thomas

Residential Worker

The trauma training provided to school staff was engaging, insightful, and highly relevant. It deepened our understanding of how trauma impacts students’ behaviour, learning, and wellbeing, and offered practical strategies to apply across the school. The session was expertly delivered by Joanne, whose knowledge and approachable style made complex concepts easy to understand. Her engaging presentation created a supportive learning environment, and staff left feeling more confident, empowered, and better equipped to support all learners. This training is a must for all who are working with children!
