“Our 7yr old son has ASC, SPD and significant speech delay. He was non verbal until age 4yrs and learnt first to communicate via PECS and Makaton. He had very limited speech and his comprehension and working memory caused a real problem at school.
Emma was absolutely amazing during our initial consultation. Emma was not at all phased by what she was hearing and she had some really brilliant ideas about how to start the journey with him. All questions were focussed on our son and it felt like a very positive conversation, which is rare when you’re constantly focusing on all of the things your child can’t do!
We had a private SaLT previously but she was not suitable to continue after compulsory school age (focussing on PECS) and the NHS Therapists working with him were discharging him due to their internal policies on compulsory school age children (leaflets are the substitute for actual therapy here!!)
Emma has made a very real and material difference to our son. He has made massive strides of progress, not just in terms of his ability to communicate but his willingness to try. He is so happy to see Emma each week for his short sessions and the games and activities Emma designs are all highly motivating for him. Emma has effortlessly built an incredible bond with our son and it’s a joy to watch him engage and enjoy his time with her. He never refuses or shows signs of disengaging. The resources Emma provides are brilliant for us here at home and we feel well supported in carrying out those interventions and feeding back to Emma in between sessions.
Emma is always just at the end of the phone/email and is very responsive. Emma has a very genuine interest in children with ASC and clearly lots of experience. Emma has a very bespoke and child centred approach, there is no “one size fits all” approach with her. The focus of the work is very much dictated by our sons emerging needs.
I can only assume she uses witchcraft and wizardry to get this level of compliance from our son!
She is an incredible practitioner!!”
Hi Nicole, thank you so much for this amazing review! Emma is a wonderful therapist and we glad you think so too, it means a lot to us that we can help your son in such a positive way.
“Ciara has been absolutely wonderful supporting my teenage daughter through issues with bullying, anxiety and self harm and I can not recommend her enough, the change is so noticeable. Ciara is so kind and patient and my daughter instantly warmed to her from the very first session. Thank you so much for the support you give to young people.”
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I'm so glad you're finding Ciara's sessions beneficial for your daughter and I'm happy to hear you have noticed a change :)
“My son was able to speak to a therapist soon after our first enquiry. He chose based on the therapist's biog, which made him feel more comfortable at his first session. His sessions were virtual and very convenient to attend and access. He felt better from his first session and felt as if he could improve his mental health after this first contact. He was able to begin to think differently about his mental health after speaking with his therapist. After a few more sessions he was beginning to feel more confident about his own wellbeing. Speaking with Ellie gave him a different perspective to his thinking and strategies to move forward. I was so glad to know he was accessing effective support. When he was having a bad day or tricky time, he knew he could schedule a session in with Ellie to reflect and strengthen his mental health. I would recommend the service and Ellie to any other parents.”
“From the outset, we have found Bethanie friendly, approachable and engaging.
I was initially concerned that an online therapy environment would not be as engaging as face-to-face but Bethanie made a real effort to learn about what interests our child had and customise the session to include aspects that he found particularly engaging.
The sessions had clear objectives and included both practical speech support and therapy along with fun aspects such as mini-games.
The assessments and session reports have always been clear and detailed and the associated resources to support further development at home have been fun and engaging for our child to complete.
Throughout sessions, Bethanie and our child built a good rapport and our child has responded well to the therapy.
We would like to thank Bethanie for her support and Mable for providing a platform that enabled such a constructive experience.”
“We have found Tom working with both of our children to be absolutely invaluable. Our youngest child who struggles with pronunciation of some consonants has progressed incredibly well with Tom. He had had many previous sessions with another provider and not made nearly so much progress as even the first session with Tom.
Our eldest has a stammer and working with Tom has been the biggest blessing to our family. He relates incredibly well to my child, putting him at ease, enabling him to eloquently express how he feels and working on both the practical and psychological aspects at play. I am so incredibly grateful for the supportive, kind, fun, relatable, encouraging influence he is for my son and for the progress he is making. It is difficult to express enough how much our family have benefitted from working together with Tom.”
“I can tell my child is really benefitting from being able to talk to her therapist about how her week has gone, especially at school.
I think she feels liberated and more "grown up". My child knows that for those 45 minutes, she can talk about how she feels with no interruptions. The advice/response that the therapists gives my child is probably something, that I as a parent, don't do as well so it's a relief knowing my child is in good hands.”
“My son enjoyed being able to talk through his problems with someone who was not his parent, and now feels much less stressed and more able to cope with life's changes and challenges.”
“The sessions are giving my daughter the space to discuss her difficulties in confidence. Having someone who genuinely cares and builds a rapport so quickly despite being online was reassuring. I’m hopeful that my daughter will continue to grow and mature her emotional resilience through these sessions. Thank you”
“Booked an appointment after my daughter revealed she had been self-harming. I wanted her to have someone she could talk openly with about her feelings. She was (understandably) very nervous before the first session, but the Therapist put her mind at ease & they were chatting away like old friends in no time. Her demeanour before & after the session were like night & day - it was immediately clear that speaking to someone made her feel like a weight had been lifted! Very impressed with the service, booking functionality & the ability to interact with the Therapist in the run-up to & after the appointment.”
“Libby built rapport with Ciara easily, having tried face to face therapist being able to use online drawings and engage through different media’s was really beneficial for her.
Libby has been through a lot in the last 18 months and was overwhelmed with life at such a young age.
With Ciara’s assistance she has managed to process events and go back to being her happy, go lucky self.
Thank you so much, I am so glad we found you.”
“Our therapist, Gemma, engages really well with my child. He is relaxed and motivated during the sessions. He has been shown how to make sounds that were previously difficult for him and is enjoying incorporating these into his everyday speech.”
“Thomas was fantastic! He helped my son regain confidence and self-belief with his speech. He's a great therapist for young children. Highly recommend.”
“May is a lovely and friendly therapist, with a warm and comfortable approach. My daughter has had no problems opening up to her and has responded well to techniques and advice on how to cope with certain situations. I am extremely happy as we have seen huge changes in Rania.”
“Michelle has provided excellent counselling for my 10 year old daughter. She supported her as she moved house and school and my daughter found her help to be invaluable. She is now settled and happy in her new life”
Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review! It's great to hear Michelle has been a good support for your daughter and that she's feeling a lot better now :)
“I would highly recommend Mable and in particular Khalidah as she has helped my child in her confidence and general well being through big transitions in her life. Khalidah made my child feel comfortable enough to open up and also learn new tools to deal with life, the sessions was something that my child looked forward to every week.”
Thank you for taking the time to share your great experience with our team, particularly with Khalidah. We are so pleased to hear how positively your child has benefited from our services!
“My daughter is finding her session very helpful,and she is excited to speak to her therapist,she literally count down the days till her next session.
Her emotional state has also improved positively and she is more positive.”
“Highly recommend Lucy, she helped my 13 year old daughter over a few sessions. She was calm and connected with my daughter really well. I would have no hesitation in choosing her again if needed. Thank you Lucy!”
Hi Karen, thanks so much for this review! Lucy is wonderful and I'm so glad she's helped your daughter. We'd be happy to provide more help whenever you feel this is needed!
“I reached out to Mable to help my son who was experiencing some anxiety/anger issues. He was right away very engaged and we saw the benefits of the session after few weeks. His therapist has been wonderful on giving him and us, as parents, the right tools to face our challenges.”
