TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve wanted to meet you for some time and say thank you, thank you for helping my daughter, I see the difference in her and I need to learn these skills too! Do you do anything for parents?”
~ Mother of 9 year old girl
~ Well-being Programme

“I feel that I can control my thoughts about my exams more and I’ll remember everything you’ve told us. Thank you.”
~ 17 year old female student
~ Exam Preparation Programme

“You wouldn’t believe it but all the children in that group were the quietest ones in their class..!”
~ Debbie Hayes, Trinity Primary School

“It’s showed me that we’re all in the same boat and we’re all stressed and we can turn that stress into being more productive.”
~ 18 year old male student

“I chose 10 pupils who were suffering from a range of issues such as mental health, stress, poor self-esteem, lack of organisation etc. Deborah spent 8 weeks with the group and her impact was profound. The students have said they really enjoyed the sessions and I noticed over the weeks that the skills and coping strategies she gave them were working fantastically well. I noticed that there was a more positive atmosphere and the students were helping and coaching each other, practicing revision and relaxation techniques. We have been extremely impressed with the impact of Deborah’s work.”
~ Colin McCormick, Head of History, Alsop High
~ Exam Preparation Programme

“Almost everyone took something away from this. We need you to come back next year.”
~ Guadalupe Rangel-Vazquez, Head of Sixth Form, Alsop High School

“This is the only place I feel like I can be myself in school.”
~ 12 year old boy

“Throughout my time in education I have never come across a programme as  powerful as this. Research demonstrates that children  are effective learners when they feel safe, secure and valued.  Through their participation in this programme, our children continue to develop in all aspects of the curriculum. Deborah now visits the school every single week and will continue to do so, working with the school’s most vulnerable children.”
~ Adam Vasco, Deputy Head Teacher, St Vincent de Paul Primary School
