Testimonials
Sometimes the most illuminating way to understand what it's like to work together is to hear from those who have. The feedback below comes from parents who have navigated this journey. I've selected one piece of feedback to share in its entirety, as I feel it captures the experience particularly well. If what you read resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
Testimonial from parents of a 12 year old girl
We were recommended to get in touch with Yvonne by a GP upon learning that we were having difficulties with our 11-12 yo daughter. We were apprehensive, but desperate enough to try, even though it was outside of our comfort zone. Right from the beginning, Yvonne was professional and supremely competent. She could see we were nervous and reassured us that we were good parents just by trying. The information she provided was a game changer for our family dynamics. She taught us about ADHD in simple, clear language, and stepped us through different sequenced techniques we could use at home. I am not exaggerating when I say that everything she suggested worked. Now our daughter does her homework within 30 mins of getting home, practices her musical instruments regularly and with no prompting, and gets an hour of exercise a day (on average). She turns the light out at the agreed time, contributes to household chores (usually without grumbling, and sometimes even without being asked). We are nagging less, she is having fewer meltdowns, and we are having more fun, family time together. If someone had told us this would happen last year, we wouldn’t have believed it, but Yvonne helped us create visual cues for daily routines and a reward system that works. We also read a lot about ADHD, but found that the individualised sessions with Yvonne were much more useful than the generic advice in books (although they also helped). Finally, we are very grateful to Yvonne for working with our timeframe. We came to her a few weeks before the summer holidays, and she adapted her sessions so we weren’t left in the dark during the break. Yvonne is intelligent, kind, flexible, and practical, and the sessions we had with her are the best investment we’ve made for our family.
What families have shared with me
One of the most rewarding things I hear from parents is how genuinely surprised they are that their teen looks forward to sessions. With strategies to support executive functions, emotional regulation, and healthy daily routines, teens reclaim the time and energy to improve academics and pursue their interests. The ripple effect on family dynamics is often just as meaningful. It's a privilege to be part of that change.
