“I can’t put into words how wonderful Amelia was to me, and how helpful she was in a very dark time in my life. I would recommend her to anyone. She changed my life, thank you Amelia”.

"You’ve been a wonderful therapeutic guide and source of insight & inspiration through this course and I’m so very grateful for you and for the group."

"Thank you so much Amelia. You’ve been awesome. I loved meeting everyone on the course. Thank you everyone for being so open and honest. It has really helped more than I can say."

“I have read a lot  of books about BSS, CPTSD, trauma etc so I am aware of the issues and I am part of another BS facebook group so know there is a commonality in the issues but listening to your video was the first time I have actually HEARD someone describe it so well and encapsulate it and as I said, it could have been me you were describing - so much of what you said was me - even down to the language you used - I have actually described myself in a relationship as always having one foot out of the bed, and describing that deep, profound loneliness , the hollowness and the never fitting in.  Just this week I was trying to describe to someone how it was too dangerous to allow myself to ever completely trust anyone. They were shocked and just didn’t get it.  Just hearing it articulated and understanding that it’s not me that is broken - I am a result of what I went through, just helps make sense of it. So thank you again for taking the time to make the video and for sharing it.”

"To feedback, our sessions have had such a profound impact on my sense of self. The validation I have received and the insight to my own thoughts have allowed me to realise I am deserving of self-love and I am capable to follow a course that aligns with my own goals. Ultimately this had led to a fundamental belief that I am capable of finding and achieving happiness, a belief which seemed like an illusion not so long ago. For me the first step towards this happiness is acceptance; acceptance of the past experiences that have led me to who I am today, and then realising and acknowledging that I have changed and continue to change; knowing that I am now a different person (because of our sessions) is a sense of healing I never thought I would achieve, and I now feel excited for the future because I am now developing a different relationship with myself. This is quite difficult to articulate, because this is a totally new emotional sensational that I am learning to harness.”

“If you are looking for help in exploring the issues you have as a result of being at boarding school, I can absolutely recommend Amelia White’s boarding school awareness Course.  I have just finished this online course and can honestly say that it has been life changing. Topics covered ranged from the first day at school, survival personality formation, puberty and adolescence, self-compassion, relationships, goodbyes and lots in between.  Amelia was so incredibly caring and supportive throughout and having been to boarding school herself she brings a special authenticity to her therapy. There were so many lightbulb moments. Lots of tears too, but I am left feeling hopeful and empowered.”

"I joined the course because I wanted to explore and heal more of the trauma of boarding school and to get more free from the impact of that experience on my life. And to be supported by a professional who has personal experience of this too and can therefore truly understand how devastating boarding school is. I enjoyed learning at my own rate, taking my time, having the space and the opportunity to pause and reflect when it felt like a lot to be processing. The greatest learning was truly understanding for the first time why my boarding school experiences had been so excruciatingly painful and validation of those feelings. I am now able to hold myself with more tender compassion and be with the feelings that arise, without feeling so overwhelmed by it and knowing that I am not alone. Completing this course has benefitted me as I feel that some of the pain has lessened and I am able to be more compassionate with myself and others who have also had this experience in their lives. It has given me the courage to go back to my boarding school to visit, which was a very empowering experience, to have the courage to be interviewed on a podcast about my experiences. I highly recommend working with Amelia, I will be doing more courses with her again in the future."

“This course is shining the spotlight onto parts of me that I’d never questioned - I’d always just accepted that I was how I was, but now I am reconsidering so many parts of my being.

Just re-watching the video - I so wish I’d had this knowledge during my last relationship - it sheds so much light on my patterns of behaviour (I tick all six of the ways of being in a relationship…..) It just would have made things so very different if I’d known that my attachment style (avoidant/anxious) was as a result of fear of abandonment and that my avoidance was a trauma response. It’s all so obvious once you know!”
