Our daughter had been happy and confident, slept well and enjoyed school. At around 9 she started to suffer with anxiety, her confidence and self-esteem dropped hugely, at the point we contacted Julie she was having almost daily panic attacks at school and was worrying a lot about death. She was very frustrated by what was happening to her and felt she had no control.
She would ruminate on negative thoughts and become stuck in the panic with never ending ‘what ifs.’
Julie is remarkable and clearly creates an open and welcoming environment, filled with kindness, she felt safe and seen.
She always looked forward to going and said her time in the play therapy room with Julie was where she unscrambled everything in her head and that things made sense after her session. Our daughter now feels in control, she has found the tools within herself to sort through and deal with things that would have previously overwhelmed her, her time with Julie has helped her now know she is strong and capable.
We cannot thank Julie enough.
