Parents across multiple reviews highlight individual therapists — particularly Rebecca Kidd and Lauren — as skilled, caring, and genuinely invested in their children's progress, with specific mentions of speech improvements, reading and spelling support using specialised techniques, and gains in confidence and independence. One parent credits Rebecca with transforming their child's ability to communicate and manage frustration, while another describes Lauren as attentive and warm, noting meaningful progress within just two months. A fourth reviewer offers only brief, general praise for a psychologist seen at the practice without further detail. All reviews are positive, though the small number of reviews and the focus on specific individual therapists means there is limited information about the practice as a whole.
