Testimonials | Child In Time

‘The Counselling provision at our school is now excellent. This is due to Chloe’s understanding of the needs of pupils, parents and the school as an organization. I would whole-heartedly recommend ‘Child in Time’ to head-teachers considering their own counselling provision.’
(Head-teacher of Woolmore School, Tower Hamlets)

‘Having Hildy has made a huge difference to the children’s confidence and ability to communicate what is important to them. Their progress in all areas due to their social and emotional progress is immense and parents report how happy they feel just talking to Hildy. It is quality time well spent not letting pupils leave with negative patterns that make them vulnerable beyond school. One of the best decisions I have made.’
(Head-teacher of St Saviour’s School, Tower Hamlets)

‘You have helped me build a barrier of protection against pain and I can’t thank you enough for that…I have never felt so emotionally strong.’
(Student, aged 15)

‘Child in Time is a tremendous resource for head-teachers. It’s a consultancy that offers a short-cut to setting up a counselling service in your school with highly trained, qualified practitioners. Child in Time brings peace of mind to staff, knowing that the most vulnerable students are in safe hands.’
(Tereza Nogueira, Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist and Senior supervisor UKCP)

This intervention has had an enormous, positive impact for us all and we sincerely hope that other families benefit from the same programme…It was lovely to hear that his teacher describes ‘F’ as happy and popular within the class and that his positive behaviour is having a really good impact on all elements of his school life.
(Parent of child, age 8)

I am glad I am coming to see you every Thursday because I used to hold all these things in my head and that was hard.
(Girl, age 10)

We are very happy with the counselling service we are receiving and in particular Karen’s flexible and accommodating nature. Parents are very pleased, both the target children’s parents and the consultation one’s too.
(SENCO, Rhodes Avenue School, Haringey)

Testimonials

I have really noticed a difference at home, since starting her sessions, she seems
better within herself.

Parent

Therapy gave me a space to think about my insecurities, the times when I overthink, and my friendship issues.

Student

She is no longer upset in the mornings or in class. While she’s still not comfortable answering questions in a big group, she participates in lessons and does well. She will occasionally contribute in class and can ask for help when she needs it.

Teacher

It was good to share my feelings with someone whose job is to listen and understand someone’s feelings. It’s a fun place to be creative.

Student

My daughter really enjoys going to see you and looks forward to her weekly sessions. I don’t hear too much about them as I think it is important to her that they are private. She does however, want to recreate the activities at home. I have really appreciated you taking the time to communicate with me and keep me up to date on my daughter’s progress.

Parent

We feel that his attainment and emotional regulation have improved. His Dad spoke very highly of the experience that he had with you and thanked us for the referral to you.

Teacher

My son has settled in very well, has started being more confident and more comfortable speaking up. I believe the sessions with Magda have been an important part of this. I appreciate the termly face-to-face updates that Magda has provided to follow my son’s progress.

Parent

Child in Time is a wonderful organisation. Child in Time provide therapists in my current primary school and we have found the experience to be hugely supportive. The way the therapists are able to support pupils, staff and families is invaluable. I would unreservedly recommend Child in Time to anyone.

Teacher

Karen was wonderful. It’s such a helpful service – our daughter is on the spectrum, so spending an hour talking about the impact on us was truly restorative.

Parent

Empathetic, professional, knowledgeable, personable counselling. Highly recommended on all fronts.

Parent

This was a massive help to me as a parent of a child with recently diagnosed ADHD and autism. The therapist was so easy to talk to. Talking through my concerns and my son’s behaviour, has definitely made a difference to both my understanding and how to help him regulate his emotions better. I’ll definitely be booking again.
