Our reviews speak for themselves, with many happy clients endorsing our work. Here is some of our recent feedback:
Read moreIzzie is amazing with my son, he cant wait to see her and work with her. She is so natural and caring with him and I always hear laughing between them in very session, and he always is smiling after. He knows he can talk to her about anything which is good. She always puts his needs first and is there for me if I have a battle with for example school to get the right things put in place. We both look forward to her coming. We could wish for or want a better SLT. Izzie simply is outstanding.
