Testimonial
" I had a really positive experience. They offered regular reviews, telephone calls and face to face appointments. From first contact in Jan 22 and diagnosis by June 22, I couldn't have expected any more. I feel lucky they have supported my child and she is now back to feeling herself.
Phillipa in Folkstone is amazing! She has good communication and always follows up in a short time frame. I cannot fault them, they have been fantastic!. I feel listened to alongside my child."
