“Aileen works with some of our most vulnerable children, she is professional in her approach and very passionate to achieve a positive outcome for each child.”

(Mrs Chamberlain, SENCo at St Marys C of E School)

Passionate to achieve a positive outcome

Amanda has really helped our pre-schooler handle his big emotions. Even after a few sessions we saw a real change and it’s lovely to see how their relationship has grown.

We saw a real change

From the first session, Amanda put our son at ease and he has enjoyed attending play therapy each week ever since. Our son’s confidence is gradually improving at school and with peers, and we look forward to seeing continued growth in months to come.

Amanda put our son at ease

“I cannot fault Aileen’s professionalism and commitment to the children during her time at Brownsover Community School. Her passion for the job was inspiring but more importantly was the impact that she had on the children she worked with. We saw a marked improvement in the children’s confidence with other people and the ability to handle what may have been stressful situations for them. She made a big difference to the school and the children’s lives that she worked with. I cannot recommend her enough.”

(Mrs Bourne, SENCo at Brownsover Community School)

Passion for the job was inspiring

Aileen has helped our daughter to grow in confidence and she is now so much happier. Our tearful pre-school goodbyes are a thing of the past, she happily interacts with her peers now and even says she is excited to go to pre-school – something I thought I would never hear her say!’

Working with Aileen has been a hugely positive journey

My 5 year old son has formed a bond of trust with Amanda very quickly. He has told me she is a very good person to tell his worries to… and has lots of great toys/games to play with! I have seen a significant improvement in my sons confidence and ability to manage his emotions since play therapy commenced. I feel the weekly sessions are invaluable to his mental health and overall well-being going forward. I hold complete faith in Amanda’s abilities and commitment to my son.

I have seen a significant improvement

It has been amazing to see the transition from an angry and anxious to resilient and confident child through the support that my son has gotten from Amanda. The safe space that Amanda has provided for him to be able to learn to effectively communicate how he is feeling with both his teacher in school and his family at home has had a significant positive impact and as a mother I am extremely grateful.

(Mother of boy, aged 8 years, Haywards Heath)

It has been amazing to see the transition

“My son is a worrier and gets particularly anxious in new situations. This coupled with separation anxiety made for a pretty overwhelmed, unhappy little boy. During group work at school Aileen helped him identify his emotions and feel confident to seek support that was around him whenever he felt he needed it. The sessions were fun and engaging and quickly became something he looked forward to. By the end of the term my son had definitely gained in confidence and while worrying is still in his nature, he’s now much better at recognising this and asking for help.”

Sessions were fun and engaging
