I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and to let you know how AMAZING Carien (therapist) was - she was so good with our daughter and made us all feel like we were in good hands - her report was really detailed and of great help!!
Mother of private client aged 4
Debbie’s intervention has been critically important. She very kindly gave up her bank holiday Monday to come quickly and that made a tremendous difference to our daughter’s state of mind, and mine and the rest of the family too!
Father of a private client aged 11
Mrs Woodfield was delighted with the assessment and I really like this report. Sam (therapist) is very specific and has quantified the provision wonderfully well. She has made very clear what needs to be included in Sections B and F, which is incredibly useful. Great report. Thank you.
