When we started seeing Julie we were going through a desperate time. Our son had become angry and violent towards us, and his tantrums would last hours. School were starting to show some concern as he was hitting and kicking other children in class, as well as having meltdowns. He had also started to withdraw from class no longer taking part in classes as he was being disruptive. A teacher referred us to Julie, and after speaking to her for an initial meeting we knew this was the best way forward for us and our son. Although Julie couldn’t tell us what was going on within the sessions due to confidentiality, she always reassured we were going in the right direction. It took some time, but we started seeing some positive changes in his mood . Now he has come to the end of his sessions with Julie, our son is unrecognisable from the angry boy he once was. He no longer has melt downs or “attacks us” and when he does have an off moment he can be reasoned with and can calm himself within minutes, where he can talk about his feelings Julie supported us all the way through this difficult time and always gave her input outside therapy when needed. Our son misses Julie sessions showing that this is a testament to her hard work and the relationship she built with him. We can never thank Julie enough for bringing back our little boy. Because of Julie, we now have the tools to continue as a family.
