Young Person Therapy Feedback

Young person feedback

"I liked how Chrissy listened to me and understood what I was saying without judging me. I also liked how Chrissy gave me multiple things to do rather than giving me one strategy so I could find what worked for me.

I would tell my friends to work with Chrissy if they needed help because she is a good listener and knows the point of view I’m coming from. She is also really friendly and I felt safe.

I feel so much more confident since the sessions and they really helped."

Parent feedback on child therapy

"Professional, friendly and my child felt at ease and understood by Chrissy.

I could see the difference between my child’s awareness of her own thoughts and reasons for these between the start and end of the therapy. Practical strategies to cope were well received and my child feels more equipped to deal with difficult thoughts.

Working with Chrissy was a positive experience."

Parent perspective on child therapy

"Chrissy has been fantastic and working with us to understand our daughters needs. She has shown professionalism, humour and patience at a time when we needed it.

This is an ongoing journey for us, and not an easy one, so it's great to now have Chrissy in our corner to face the challenges ahead."

Parent perspective on young person therapy

"Firstly I want to thank you for all you did for Lara when she was going through a really difficult time...she found you so helpful Chrissy. An essential part of help is the relationship therefore that is formed. She liked you! That is key.

I personally found it the most painful experience of my life and personally what helped me was that you were able to speak frankly to me as you were able within the bounds of confidentiality. Without that we would have been far less placed to support Ottilie at home in line with what she was finding helpful with you. Thank you! Also real strategies to bring calm or ways of speaking to Lara were helpful .

There is much more I could say. Thanks Chrissy again for all you have done. I guess those words reliable and understanding, empathy, you helping people see things from a different perspective, you helping people see a way forward rather than feeling they are stuck in the situation have all been helpful for Lara."

Parent feedback on child therapy

"We cannot thank Chrissy enough as she connected with Toby* so well and I was so impressed that she was able to build a relationship with him in such a short amount of time. Chrissy really has a great way of talking to children and I had 100% confidence in her and her skills – she is brilliant! Chrissy spoke to Toby* as if he mattered and knew how to make Toby* expand on his answers in a way that was not threatening or negative. Chrissy made him feel valued and that to me is so important.
I thought Chrissy understood fully about Toby’s* needs. I loved the fact that he was able to share how he was feeling and that is such a huge step for him as he normally clams up and doesn’t want to speak. Chrissy put both Toby* and I at ease.
I understood the therapeutic plan – I was able to contribute to the plan and I felt listened to. The therapy was effective and the work we did with Chrissy was really useful and it had an impact on Toby*.

I would recommend Chrissy 100% and Toby* would too! To me that speaks volumes!"

Parent perspective on child therapy

"Therapy with Chrissy has been a total game changer for my daughter. Chrissy’s gentle , honest and patient approach really works. My daughter has the tools she needs now to deal with any difficult situations. She knows her own strength and resilience. It’s really wonderful to see. Thank you Chrissy x"

Parent feedback on child therapy

" We have seen a fantastic turn around in Cameron's overall behaviours- especially at bed time which was a major issue prior to treatment. This is a direct improvement since therapy. Chrissy was friendly to work with and always able to reassure us through the process."

Parent feedback on child therapy

"Our time with Pathways was life changing for my daughter who lost her mother to cancer when she was 3. It wasn’t until she was 7 that I took her to see Chrissy and it was only when the sessions started I realised how my daughter’s life had been impacted despite how young she was at the time. It took time for both my daughter and me to work through the process of understanding what had happened and how to manage the emotions it caused.

Chrissy gently guided us through the journey and although you might not pick up on progress session by session, over time it was clear the positive impact the sessions where having. From a little girl hiding behind the sofa every time a difficult question was asked to the confident girl she is today able to articulate her thoughts and feelings, most importantly asking for help whenever she needs it.

Genuinely can’t thank Chrissy enough for what she has done for us and she will always be a hugely influential figure in Sophie’s life.’’
