testimonials
"Thank you so much for today, we came out in absolute amazement! We have never seen our daughter interact with an adult she has just met ever before. It was so amazing seeing her change on the swing and then throughout the session! We said it was like you found the magic key to unlock her!" Parent feedback following assessment session

Tess Buckley, Speech and Language Therapist
"Lucy’s work with all of our families has been absolutely invaluable. Lucy has successfully engaged with all of the children and their parents each and every single time – no matter how difficult their situation they have always come out of their sessions with Lucy feeling truly ‘heard’. We have had consistent positive feedback from families and from other professionals about the advice, guidance, recommendations that she has given them. We have found that for our families once they have met Lucy they don’t ever want to let her go! Lucy is also highly professional and manages to work in a way that is always completely and utterly child focussed. She has also successfully captured the children’s voices within her work innovatively and creatively" Julie Stolland, Team Manager Adoption Support. Parents and Children Together
