What families say

★ 4.4based on 8 Google reviews

The three available reviews are all positive, but they are too few and too brief to identify reliable recurring themes. Two reviewers describe their overall experience as excellent or wonderful without specific detail, while a third highlights accommodating scheduling, a knowledgeable practitioner (Ian), and a willingness to travel for the quality of care. Note that the reviews mention adult concerns (chronic pain, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) rather than child therapy specifically, so parents should confirm the practice's experience with children directly.
