Nicola worked with our teenage daughter during a period of anxiety and depression, where the NHS Mental Health service help had not led to any real improvement, and our daughter was at a very low point, causing us great concern. Our daughter was no longer leaving the house and would often not leave her room or even get out of bed, having dropped out of her studies and disengaged from friends and outside life. Nicola gave our daughter back her self-esteem and a level of confidence, developing an understanding of her condition, building coping mechanisms, which allowed her to begin the process of re-engaging with the important people and things in her life. I am pleased to report that our daughter is back studying, has a part-time job and is building her social life again.
Nicola was a support to the whole family, allowing us as parents a greater understanding of how we support our daughter and each other. We are very happy to recommend Nicola’s Psychology services to parents of children/young people facing similar difficulties.
