Testimonials

​'Kelly made me feel like I could share anything and know that I would not be judged in any way. She's honest and practical which helped me work through some issues, whilst all the time remaining kind and empathetic. I'm so grateful for her support and know I always have a safe space with her where I can truly be myself. '

Rebecca, mother of 12 year old with learning difficulties

'At a time when I felt very alone and lost as a parent, Kelly was there to put my mind at ease, to help me to understand my son and ensure I provide him the best care for both an Autistic child, but also for him as an individual. She also provided me with literature, websites and details of online support and charities that I could access. When I later began a free autism awareness course with the Open University, she helped to explain areas I was unclear on and expand my knowledge further. This has not only helped my son and his development, but it has been an amazing support for me.
I cannot thank her enough for her consideration, her time, her empathy and her specialist help and support.'

Ruth, mother of 8 year old boy  with Autism

'I had a consultation and follow up with Kelly about a child I teach who has autism and was facing increasing challenges with OCD. The compulsions were causing the child immense anxiety and were significantly impacting his daily life at school - from joining the class group to being able to access the curriculum. I was particularly concerned because typical approaches weren't working due to the child’s unique autistic needs. However, the support received from Kelly was invaluable.

Kelly understood the intersectionality of ASD and OCD; she didn’t just try to treat OCD. She suggested integrated strategies that respected the child’s unique sensory and communication needs.Kelly helped me to better understand anxiety led behaviours and how to slowly and compassionately support my student.

Today, the child is doing so much better and is able to join all class group learning and complete short set tasks. With Kelly’s help I now have a happier, less anxious student. I am exceptionally grateful to Kelly for sharing her expertise and I would not hesitate to recommend or seek her support again.'
