“I have been having regular therapy sessions with Patti for a while now. I feel seen, heard and looked after. Patti understands the many facets of SEND parenting & her ability to value, understand and hold space for you, whilst gently challenging you to delve deeper into feelings, events and new perspectives is second to none. We also have a great laugh!
I attend the parent support group run by Patti and Lisa. They are a font of knowledge, a great support and it is a welcome refuge to be in such a safe space. It is lovely meeting other SEND parents and sharing both highs and lows with each other, offering support and feeling some solidarity!”
