TESTIMONIALS
Sarah Parry has been absolutely fantastic working with my 10 year old son. Right from the start she made him feel he had someone on his side that totally understood what he was feeling and he found the sessions fun and friendly as well as teaching him techniques to help. Thankfully with her support he is now back to his happy self, it's wonderful. Sarah was also great keeping in contact with me too so we both felt supported. Thank you Sarah
My son had been struggling in several areas specifically with anxiety and phobia of certain things, so we looked to engage him in some therapy.
I was very sceptical towards remote-based therapy sessions as felt this was not going to have the desired effect. I could not be more wrong! Sarah was fantastic with my son from day one! Building an exceptional rapport with him and giving him a safe place and environment to talk freely and feel heard seemed to be no challenge at all for Sarah. He was looking forward to the sessions most weeks and took several great learnings and techniques away from them to help in day-to-day situations that he otherwise struggled with.
We are at a point now that means he no longer needs the therapy support, and I can’t describe the change in his overall mood and how he deals with things on a daily basis other than to say he is like a different child. We have our little boy back is truly how this has made us feel and could not have been achieved without the superb knowledge, skills and expertise provided by Sarah.
I can’t recommend this more highly for anyone who is looking at therapy sessions for their children who are dealing with Phobias, OCD and Trauma.
For some context, my son is now 10 years old and experienced a broken home/parental divorce from the age of 8 with multiple changing factors in his life that led to his behaviours.
Sarah has worked so well with my teenage daughter and the improvements have been so good to see. Sarah very quickly established a strong connection with my daughter and gained her trust to facilitate the open conversations needed. The tips and techniques she’s taught her have been very effective. Thank you so much.
