Testimonials


I came across Layla after struggling to secure support for my daughter within school.
She initially met us on a video call and quickly realised from my daughter that face to face would be more appropriate for her.
After our first face to face session, Layla quickly understood my daughter’s needs and adapted her approach to support her accordingly.
Weekly email updates helped me to feel at ease and able to support my daughter in-between sessions.
After our second session it was useful to have a discussion face to face to review how I felt My daughter was progressing. In response to this she adapted the focus of the sessions to best meet her needs.

She has been a very understanding and adaptable support for us as a family.

Layla has been a great support to our 13-year-old daughter, who has been suffering with severe anxiety and refuses to attend school due to bullying. We have had five sessions so far, and we will continue to have additional sessions as needed. Layla is our second counsellor, and we have to say, that we like her friendly and honest approach as well as her support with various strategies to overcome our daughter’s difficult journey. She provides weekly feedback, recommendations, and goals to concentrate on. She is also available and can be contacted when we have a problem or challenging situation. We can see positive changes and feel we are on the right path, taking small steps forward. 

I would highly recommend Layla to other parents who are experiencing challenging times, namely anxiety or school refusals. Layla is always helpful and positive, and we are pleased to have found somebody like her, who encourages our daughter to love herself again and find the happy girl inside she deserves to be.

My Son started therapy with Layla as he was struggling with his confidence and had low self esteem. From the first time he met Layla he felt very comfortable and opened up about how he was feeling. He has learnt some great coping skills and I have seen a big difference in how he feels about himself. I feel therapy has had a positive effect and my son has told me himself he feels a lot happier. Layla was great with my son and I would highly recommend her.
