Kate has been a great help to my son who needed help with self esteem and positive thinking before going to middle school. Kate worked with him over the summer holidays and we noticed a difference in him really quickly. He was being more positive about himself and trying hard to think about what he and Kate had discussed. The sessions were fun and private so he felt he could discuss things with Kate, she would feed back to me after the session and include my son so he didn't feel talked about. His self confidence has grown immensely since working with Kate and it has given him a great start to his new school, which after being nervous he now absolutely loves.

I can not recommend Kate enough. She has been a god send for our daughter and us as a family. Kate has been both professiional, friendly and easy to talk with and supported our daugher and us a family no end. 

Kate actually listens and shows an understanding that has given P  the confidence to actually talk in the sessions. Kate has helped us to see how we can help P in certain situations just by adjusting the smallest of things which then enables her to cope better and  helps me to be less anxious. 

I wish the sessions could continue but I am truly appreciative of the sessions P has had with Kate as I feel like we can continue with all the help and advice we have been given as a family to enable P to go from strength to strength.

Thank you Kate for everything.

"I first felt nervous when my Mum said a lady was coming to see me but she is very nice and kind. I would also like to warn you about her obsession with using scales typically of 1 - 10. They do help. I look forward to our weekly sessions and I feel they help my confidence to grow." E aged 11.

We approached Julie following a recommendation from a friend to assist with resilience and confidence issues with our young daughter. Our daughter built a strong rapport with Julie very quickly which helped Julie assess the situation.  With Julie’s help, we were able to build upon the sessions with activities at home. Julie also liaised with our daughter’s teachers to complete the action plan. We feel a lot of progress has been made over the course of the sessions and that our daughter has benefited greatly from her time with Julie.

"I highly recommend therapy session with Julie at Incredible Parenting.  My son met with Julie six times, and during this time, made significant progress to his wellbeing. Following sessions, my son presented himself as relaxed and positive. Julie is very caring and supportive and remained in contact with me between sessions, ensuring I was up to date with my son's progress. She has been an enormous support to my son, and I am delighted that Julie was recommend to me by son's school"  March 2021

Julie,

 I would like to say a big thank you to you and to let you know that you have made a big difference in our house.

I was so upset when we first spoke and you were so reassuring in making me feel I wasn't at fault, nor was I the only person who had been in this situation. 

D has really enjoyed the sessions and despite feeling worried before seeing you, she felt very comfortable and at ease from the first session.

I think we have all leant a lot in a short space of time and most importanly , D is like a different child, so much happier and more confident. 

I feel that we have become closer as a family and cannot thank you enough. I have alread recommended you to a friend! 

Thanks Again.

"Kate has shown the utmost support and guidance for my daughter who has been suffering with anxiety since the age of 8. Kate is incredibly caring and builds trust really quickly with people, making the sessions with my daughter a really positive experience. Kate has been brilliant for my daughter. Kate really listens and has equipped my daughter with valuable coping techniques, handling difficult social situations and life skills in general. I know my daughter will always suffer from anxiety, but having someone who my daughter trusts and we can call if life gets a little bit compliated is so valuable I couldn't put it into words - thank you Kate for all you do to support families like ourselves." E's Mum.

" Julie worked with me and my children for just over 4 months. When she fiirst started working with my family, I was having trouble dealing with structure within my home, having children with additional needs, and dealing with my own axiety, life was becoming increasingly hard. I felt a failure especially as a mother. Julie came into my home, she didn't judge my situation, she made me feel like I was doing my best and gave me the confidence to start working on structure when it came to my children. I always felt Julie had mine and my children's best interests at heart.  After being in a situation where I felt stuck, I've done a 360 thanks to the support from Julie. My children feel happier, my home is calmer and I'm continuing to work on myself and the rules within my home. Julie was a blessing to my family. Thank you so much." Mum of 3 children.

"I feel incredibly lucky to have found Kate after a recommendation by a friend. Reaching out for support has taken me some time but I now know that it has been the right decision. My daugher finds some aspects of family life challenging, and consequently she finds it hard to regulate her emotions. This has put a lot of  strain on our family in recent years. The daily conflicts began to unsettle the relationships within our family, and I started to loose confidence in my parenting skills. We have only worked with Kate for a short time but we already begin to see the benefits. Her advice and suggestions have been so helpful, and we have already made some positive changes to the way we handle difficult moments and reduce the impact of emotional outbursts. Kate's professional, supportive and non-judgemental approach has been reassuring, and she brilliantly engages with my daugher every time despite her often being a little reluctant at the start of a session. She always ends up chatting away! I am really looking forward to continue our positive journey with Kate's support. Thank you Kate - having you by our side is invaluable." Mum of daughter Age 9.

"Kate, we would like to thank you for the amazing work you have done with my family. You have reduced the stress levels and tension and we now have a calmer, and generally happier house.  Which has had all kinds of good knock on effects. You have made a massive impact in our lives with our family sessions and 1:1 sessions with us and E. .It's helped us all understand how everyone is feeling and what we want.  I feel it's helped E to manage his emotions and feelings. We really hope this work can continue. We thank Kate as it's not just helped  E, it's helped all of us within our family. "E has a diagnosis of ADHD and ODD and is having lots of issues at school.

"Kate , I really can't thank you enough for your consistent support during lockdown. As tough as it was, it also gave me the opportunity to really see what triggers V especially in anxious and overwhelming situations. You've taught me so many skills that really made me see my parenting a lot clearer. You are amazing at what you do. Your kindness, straight talking and care for me family situation from when we first met has filled us with confidence and honestly we couldn't have asked for a better person to help us."  Mum of  9 year old boy, who has ADHD 

"Thank you very much for your brilliant support, kindness and understanding that you have given to our family over these last 6 months, Kate.

Personally, it has given me the strength to continue my journey to support our daughter's emotional needs. I now feel much better equipped by using your excellent suggestions and strategies, and I feel more confident to persevere during those very tricky moments! Your support has also helped me find the conviction to explore the formal assessment process, which I had been considering for a long time but had shielded away from. 

As we continue to support M navigate life as she grows up, it is of great comfort to know that we can ask you for more excellent advice - we will no doubt be in touch again!" (Year 5 girl)
