TESTIMONIALS
We love working with our clients!
Here's what they think about working with us, in their own words.
The session was brilliant
We booked Rory to do a keynote talk for one of our Team Away days on the subject of mental health and wellbeing. The session was brilliant, Rory introduced us all to a powerful and accessible model of the mind and helped us to reflect upon some of the shared stresses we are all under, as well as highlighting the various positive aspects of our lives. Rory's style is passionate and engaging, we had great feedback from the team from this, and I would highly recommend him to other companies who are interested in learning more about employee wellbeing.

OUR CLIENTS
Rory has a gift for presenting and engaging an audience with confidence and compassion and the audience respond positively to his enthusiasm and warmth. The sessions benefit from being technically slick and professionally presented too.
This is a winning approach that gives each individual a bite-sized opportunity to consider and reflect on aspects of their mental health and wellbeing as well as the time at the end of each session to slow down their thinking and relax in a mindful way.
I fully recommend Saldo to any employer or business which is serious about enhancing their employees or customers mental wellbeing.

Having the wellbeing sessions really helped me to understand my emotions and have a technique to combat the tougher moments. I learned how to relax and sooth the brain. I can now use these techniques in everyday life.

The training we received was both effective and beneficial for staff and our young people. Our team found it both inspiring and exciting for use with SEBW pupils. We can't recommend it highly enough!

Rory is an exceptional lecturer, the feedback from students every time has been outstanding about his lectures. He relates theory to skill and practice so well that the students feel they can apply everything he teaches into practice straight away.
Rory is a vital member of the team in counselling and psychotherapy who has been involved in undergraduate and postgraduate work. I have nothing but complete praise for his hard work and commitment to this field.

It was so nice to go through some of the exercises together as it helps to feel more prepared to do this [Stress Management Exercise]. Rory has a lovely presentation style, he really modelled the Compassion-Focused model effectively.

Rory is incredibly knowledgeable, deeply compassionate and a wonderfully positive person who is a pleasure to spend time with. I’m very grateful to have been given the opportunity to meet and work with him and I would highly recommend his wellbeing workshops to anyone!

Rory is the most enthusiastic, open and giving person with in-depth knowledge of the therapies and practical guidance Saldo offers.
It is this combination of expertise and personality that enabled Saldo to secure support from University of Warwick’s Creative Futures incubator. We have full confidence that Saldo’s work can make a huge difference to an individuals’ well-being and through the use of innovative live-streaming technology, the team can reach more people creating a ripple effect of lasting impact.

Rory is an absolute expert in this area both on an academic and industry practice level. We invited him to speak to our global employees after they worked from home for a long period of time during the coronavirus breakout. It really helped them improve their understanding of where various emotions come from and maximise their productivity after this dramatic change in working environment and structure.
Rory also helped our senior managers be more aware of their feelings from the perspective of brain science and a human evolutionary perspective... For more effective leadership, I would recommend anyone in a senior management position to use his expertise.
