Good morning Lisa, Happy New Year, I hope you had a nice one? Just to let you know, F has moved to his new school. It all happened very quickly, having got confirmation on the last day of term and him starting his new school on the first day back, this week. He's a different boy, I know it's early days but he's so happy and sleeping much better. 

Thanks again for all of your help, you've been wonderful. Rich x

Dear Lisa,

Again thank you for all your support with T____

Please see a testimonial

Lisa is a very professional and knowledgeable therapist in her field. The support that has been provided has aided my son to gain in confidence and be able to talk more about situations that he would have never done before.

I can see a noticeable difference in him and he always enjoys and looks forward to seeing Lisa.

my son now has self esteem he is really enjoying his senior school and has friends 

18 year old 

This is the first time I have thought I don't need therapy any more 

Mum and dad of 18 year old said 

We can't thank you enough, our daughter has changed so much since having therapy,  she has grown up / matured , and she has learnt how to cope with her anxieties and how to cope when she has a panic attack.

We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone .

Parent

In the summer of 2020 my daughter's and our world changed when she began to feel low, depressed and suicidal. She was 14 years old at the time and she or we did not know how to manage this, we were frightened all the time. And then we found Lisa and our world changed again. We do not have our daughter back, we have a whole new child who can face her fears and anxieties with strength and determination, we understand some of the underlying reasons for her  mental health decline and we can now manage this as a family. Lisa has been amazing, strong, firm, kind, empathetic, inclusive and professional, I could not  recommend her highly enough. Thank you Lisa."

Play Therapy Testimonial

Lisa has been providing therapeutic play interventions for one day a week at Holy Cross for three years. During this time she has built very strong relationships with children and staff. The children look forward to their play therapy sessions and are always excited to see Lisa around the school.

Lisa always communicates well with staff and provides valuable insights into the children and their SEMH needs. She also maintains confidentiality at all times.

Lisa takes the time to meet with parents as well as teachers, to make sure that she is taking an holistic approach to best support the children that she works with.

We have no hesitation in recommending Lisa to provide therapeutic play interventions within an educational setting.
