About Stuart Sorensen (The Care Guy)
"Stuart's way of presenting made a really welcome change from power point
presentations and interactive way of working was not intimidating.
It was the most worthwhile training I have had in a long time. Thankyou."

Stuart Sorensen qualified as a mental health nurse in 1995. He holds a Diploma in Nursing Studies, a Diploma in Counselling and a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychosocial Interventions. He is experi
As a trainer Stuart is keen to help staff ‘at the coalface’ to find a balance between the conflicting (and seemingly impossible) rights of workers, carers and service-users. He regularly travels nationwide to deliver first class courses for organisations as diverse as the National Health Service, various countrywide and regional housing associations and councils, the UK and Scottish governments as well as the now defunct Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI)
As well as a raft of housing and social care related courses such as 'Adult Protection', 'Therapeutic Risk Management' and 'Lone Working & Personal Safety', Stuart offers specialist training in research based mental health topics. These include training around working with people diagnosed with serious and enduring mental disorders, those with personality disorders, recovery from schizophrenia and deliberate self harm.
Increasingly Stuart has developed training around the legal framework governing health and social care in UK and regularly delivers training on duty of care and specific relevant legislation throughout mainland Britain. He also delivers seminars and conference presentations on a range of mental health and social care related topics. Training is tailored to the needs of the organisation, from government departments to individual care providers, taking into account the different levels of training and responsibility of the participants.
When you book training from Stuart you know that the person delivering the course is the same person who researched and designed it - not an executive with a script.
This personal touch is the secret of Stuart's success in delivering high quality training that genuinely meets the your needs. He takes time to understand what you need and tailor training courses around that need but always with an eye on 'the real world' that comes from the experience of doing the job rather than simply reading about it.
Overall the aim is to provide accessible training in a way that is both enjoyable and inclusive. If the course you're looking for isn't listed just ask. Stuart regularly devises courses from scratch for both large and small organisations. What’s more - he won't charge the earth to do so.
