What others are saying…
Don’t take my word for it, take a look at what others are saying about my teaching!
“I recently had a consultation with Dr. Macdonald, with the aim to gain clarity and a deeper understanding of the neuroscience I thought I knew! We spent an hour together, working of a number of themes and concepts and it was so valuable to me and my practice. I am now confident which information to share - and which not to share- with my clients.
Thank you so much for your patience, your clear and concise style of teaching and for making me feel that there are no silly questions! Would highly and passionately recommend to any professional who references any neuroscience in their work.”
“You did a brilliant job at presenting very specialised scientific knowledge in words and images everybody could understand.”
“All of this makes me especially grateful to have found your work and others like it—educators who are committed to clear, evidence-based, and clinically useful science. I feel hopeful and excited to continue learning in a way that aligns with both best practices and my ethical values. I look forward to learning more from you.”
“The Emotions 101 webinar was absolutely brilliant. Dr Birthe took the typical popular theories and shook them up like a snow globe - sharing the scientifically correct and newest research for how emotions are made. It was both fascinating and illuminating, whilst also challenging - a brilliant combination!
I love Dr Birthe’s teaching style, she is a very clear communicator who welcomes questions. Thank you for making me a better practitioner!”
“The content shared was in a way that was easy to digest. I truly enjoyed it! I walked away interested in how to create psychoeducation for clients about emotions.”
