"Delivery of course professional but personal too. I felt seen, heard and recognised Practised methods/solutions each week after we had learned them I cannot praise the trainers enough"

"Having personal hurdles myself she has kept us all on track. She always has the time, her patience is refreshing, her personal presence also makes me and my family feel instantly at ease"
"I’ve been a special needs teacher for 15 years and have never come across a professional who is more suited to the role than xxxxx. He’s knowledgeable, caring, committed and from the moment I met him I knew he’d be able to help xxxxx. The rapport he instantly built with both me and my child set us up for success and gave me confidence that there was hope to help her feel happier. He’s a credit to your department and a very special man. I will be forever grateful for what he has done for our family"
