Testimonials

Supervision

“Andrea is providing supervision for me in relation to a case I am currently working with. I have worked with Andrea several times before and she is always insightful, reflective and challenging in supervision, bringing her extensive knowledge and experience to help me formulate and understand my cases better. She asks the right questions, at the right time to help me develop my own position and understanding, rather than simply telling me what to do! She has the perfect mix of professionalism, approachability and humour, that empowers and motivates”.

Delegate, key therapeutic skills training

Training

“Andrea has delivered trauma training for my staff. Their overarching view was that whilst it was challenging at times, it was the best training they have ever received. It has supported staff to not only understand the children we work with and their journey but also for my staff to understand themselves better”.

Director, ArtroHouse

Interventions

“My daughter has been suffering from anxiety and low mood for several years and has struggled to remain in school as a result. Andrea has worked with my daughter a while now and has helped her understand her emotions more and has worked with her to develop ways to manage them more effectively. Andrea has the ability to work with my daughter in a manner that is responsive to her and can effectively strike the balance of remaining professional but also friendly and funny. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrea and her service to other parents and young people – in fact I already have”

Parent, AR, anxiety, emotional regulation and distress tolerance work

Interventions

“Andrea has helped my son enormously in managing his emotions better. He has found her support really helpful and actually looks forward to his sessions with her. I have found her to be supportive and caring, whilst helping me to understand a little more about my son’s behaviour and how my response and management might have not been helpful to my son”.

Parent, JG, re: Emotional Management Intervention work

Assessments

“Andrea’s attention to detail, her focus on children and ability to disseminate information to give concrete advice and assessments for children is some of the best I have seen in the residential childcare industry”.

Director, ArtroHouse

Assessments

“Andrea has worked with some of our most hard to reach young people. She has tailored her intervention with each to ensure it meets their needs and addresses their identified issues. Andrea completes thorough assessments and gathers lots of information which means that she has a great understanding of the young people and the teams supporting them. She has provided us with feedback forms and also has input to multi-disciplinary meetings which have been a great support with the Local Authority. We will definitely be seeking support from Andrea in the future and appreciate her professional and creative approach”.
