"The team at Catalyst were professional, responsive, and adaptive to our agencies’ needs for undertaking the LGBTQIA+ Understanding and Awareness workshop. Thomas was an enthusiastic presenter who provided our staff with easy-to-follow explanations and personal anecdotes. This made the training a relatable and relaxed experience for staff where they felt comfortable asking questions and engaging with the content."

"The training on LGBTIQA Awareness and Understand was very well presented. Thomas was clearly very knowledgeable on the subject and presented in an engaging clear way. Thomas was responsive to our needs as an organisation and tailored his delivery to meet the needs of our lecturers. He was able to provide a great insight into the world of some of our more traumatised student cohort with clarity and supportive strategies for lecturers in the classroom."
