⭐TESTIMONIAL⭐

This literally made my day I just had to reshare 🥰 I absolutely loved working with Tom, he engaged so well in sessions and has made such positive changes (and taught me more about cars 🚘).

As with all my client, Tom is always welcome to return if he needs any additional support in the future. But this is goodbye for now, keep being you Tom because you are AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Full testimonial below 👇👇👇
“From the initial consultation I was sure you were a great fit, Tom was initially dubious but gave it a few days thought and decided to try it. Your patience and kindness has made the transition to seeking therapy for my now 16 year old a smooth and easy one. I am so grateful that we found you because I truly believe that we would be in a very different place right now had we not.

Tom has undiagnosed (still waiting) ADHD/ASD and he has always struggled with anxiety, which got progressively worse after he was assaulted outside of school. This led to a school move and whilst this was the right decision we felt having some extra support to deal with the trauma of being assaulted would never be a bad thing. Tom still has some days that he refuses to go to school because of anxiety but on the whole, he is attending and performing much better than he ever has. I believe this is down to you and how you have helped him to see that he is good enough and taught him how to manage his feelings in a positive way. Tom can now see the positives in every day and focuses less on the negative. He had very low self-esteem but you have managed to change his view of himself and he can now see that he’s a good person with plenty to offer the world.

Whilst I am not sure Tom will ever want to permanently leave you, to know that someone can support him the way you do, understands him and whom he absolutely adores is a comfort to all of us. For now, we are taking a break but he knows that when he needs a top up, you’re just a message away. I have and will continue to recommend your services as you have been an invaluable part of our last year. As a family you have made a massive change to our lives and we’ll be forever grateful. Thank you xx”

Did you know that even young children can feel stressed? From school worries to big life changes, childhood stress is real - and it matters.

In our latest blog, we explore how to spot the signs of stress in children and, most importantly, how you can support them through it. From creating calm spaces to teaching simple relaxation techniques, there’s so much we can do to help our little ones feel safe and supported. 🫶

🌟 Because when children feel heard and understood, they’re more likely to grow into confident, resilient adults.

🌙 Sometimes behaviour changes after a new sibling arrives…

Clinginess
Tantrums
Regression

Do you think we’re quick to see this as “naughty” instead of a child asking for reassurance? Let’s chat 💛

⭐TESTIMONIAL⭐

I was so pleased with this from amazing Jenna just had to reshare. She was really struggling when we first met with anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts 😢

But now feels so much happier than she did before and can see the positive side of life 🥰🧚 all in just 7 sessions together.

Full testimonial below 👇👇👇
“I was a bit worried about meeting Vicki because I didn’t know what she would be like for example her personality or attitude/tone in voice but in the end, it was really fun. I was struggling with a lot of suicidal thoughts; anxiety and I generally didn’t feel happy with life.

Overall, after having sessions with Vicki, I feel a lot happier than I did originally. I enjoyed the activities like learning about the brain and I enjoyed the wheel of activities me and my family got to do every week!

It really helped how she would ask me questions of fun things I did every week because it made me realise that I have a lot to be grateful for. I would recommend Vicki because she is really nice and I feel comfortable speaking to her about my problems which I may not say to other people.”

👶💛 From Only Child to Big Brother or Sister… it’s a big change for everyone!

Welcoming a new baby into the family is exciting, but for your first child it can also feel like a huge shift. One day they’re the centre of attention, the next there’s a tiny new human needing cuddles, toys and lots of your time.

It’s completely natural for parents to wonder:
Will they feel jealous?
Will their behaviour change?
How can I help them adjust?
In our latest blog we explore how this transition can affect your child, including what’s happening in their developing brain, and share gentle, solution-focused ways to support them through the change. 🧠✨

Inside the blog you’ll find tips on:

💛 Preparing your child before the baby arrives
💛 Using positive, solution-focused conversations
💛 Maintaining connection and routine
💛 Validating big feelings like jealousy or confusion
💛 Encouraging kind interactions and pride in their new role

The transition from only child to big sibling doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a process. Some days will feel smooth, others a little bumpy, and that’s completely normal.

With patience, empathy and lots of reassurance, your child can move from uncertainty to feeling proud, valued and excited about their new role. 🌟
