TESTIMONIALS
THERAPY

"It was so lovely to meet you and I was blown away by how quickly my son connected with you and how obviously comfortable he felt with you! I’ve never seen him like that before so quickly. He talked about how much he enjoyed playing with you so can’t thank you enough for making the meeting so fun and relaxed as I had little idea how he would react or exactly what to expect."
Parent
"The work that Anthea has done with my son over the past couple of years has been invaluable in helping me, and other professionals, to understand him better and to learn how we can best support him. Her initial assessment was really thorough and took into account his complex background and the many factors affecting his needs."
Parent
"Anthea was highly recommended to us by my daughter's SLT. My daughter, S, age 3, has significant anxiety and sensory processing problems, but we needed to understand more about the areas in which she struggles and exactly how to help her.
I was amazed at how quickly Anthea managed to engage with her. The assessment process felt very natural and Anthea read S's needs well. S in fact, has asked (in her own way) for Anthea to come and play again, which really is a true honour given her anxiety around new people!
We are very much looking forward to working with Anthea for a course of therapy for S, both at home and her childcare setting and would highly recommend her to others. Thank you so much for being so sensitive to S’s needs."

"Anthea has changed our lives!"
