Testimonials from primary school parents/carers

“My practitioner, Levi, has shown exceptional empathy, professionalism, and insight throughout our time working together. He has helped me build a tailored maintenance plan that not only addresses my son’s behavioural needs but also empowered me with practical strategies I could confidently apply. From emotion regulation techniques to setting clear routines and boundaries, Levi’s approach was both thoughtful and effective.

What stood out most was his ability to help me reflect on the causes behind behaviours and adapt strategies with flexibility. His encouragement to prioritise self-care and celebrate small wins has been invaluable. Thanks to his support, I’ve seen real progress in my son’s routines and emotional regulation, and I feel more equipped to handle most future challenges.

Levi’s dedication and compassionate approach have made a lasting impression, and I truly appreciate the time and care he’s invested in our sessions and support provided with the school.” — Parent/carer from Rose Lane Primary School

“Honestly my practitioner, Lucy, did amazing at making me and my child feel comfortable and most importantly, not making me feel like I've failed him. As a person who has a child experiencing separation anxiety, it’s really hard, but she made everything so much easier and clearer. Honestly she deserves a medal.” — Parent/carer from Southwood Primary School

Testimonials from young people

 “This intervention has helped me massively, I was dealing with a lot of strong emotions and didn’t know how to control them. I’ve been doing it for 5 months with Levi (my practitioner) and I am now more confident and feel more able to go outside of my comfort zone. We did 12 sessions which helped the way I projected my feelings, and I learnt how to control it with things like techniques, help lines and more stuff. The help I received from the sessions was amazing and now I just feel better overall" — Pupil at Robert Clack

“Thank you for everything. I’m so grateful for your help. I appreciate your support and guidance more than words can say. Thank you for being a great practitioner (and the best one I’ve had).” — Pupil at Robert Clack
