Ruth provided a lifeline when other services were uncoordinated or unresponsive. She gave me the confidence that we could overcome an eating disorder and grief in a young teenager with careful co-ordination with school and other services. Importantly she empowered our family to understand what was needed which gave us skills to tackle ongoing challenges. Reach’s flexible to approach to consultations, at school and home, feedback and support has been invaluable. I truly don’t know what we would have done without them. Parent, Private Client
Ruth came into our lives when my son was feeling very anxious and distressed. Her warmth and friendly manner, quickly put my son at ease and built a strong rapport between them. Ruth helped him tremendously to understand his feelings and enable him, a child with school anxiety, to successfully go on a school residential. Thank you. I would not hesitate to recommend Reach to others looking for support.CR, Mother of an 11 year old
The advice and support we received from Ruth was invaluable. She reassured us as parents and helped our daughter with her anxiety. I was pleasantly surprised how much interaction Ruth gained from Ruby. She really put everyone at ease immediately. We now have a much happier, more relaxed 7 year old. As a family, we feel confident in managing worries. The session was very worth while. Thank you!Claire Harbun, Mother of a 7 year old
