Mother of daughter who was suffering with anxiety prior to GCSEs
Dear Karen, thank you for your help with my daughter C. She managed so well with her GCSEs in the end. Her sessions went very well with you and my opinion is that your intervention helped C realise that stress is normal and there are ways to manage it. You worked in a way which helped her feel in control, and she definitely found the mindfulness techniques helpful. I would be happy to recommend you to others as I am very pleased you worked with C.
Parent of primary aged pupil, Tunbridge Wells
I found Karen to be extremely supportive whilst maintaining a professional and clear approach. She has a wealth of knowledge and put clear practical steps in place to help me get things back on track.

Mentally and emotionally I felt much stronger and able to cope with the tasks in hand. The steps I took really helped me and I have continued with the advice. My children responded well and the balance shifted to a much more manageable and calmer state. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for guidance and experienced advice in parenting.
Mother of preschool child, London
I am so grateful for the amount of time Lucy has spent on H. I finally feel I am getting a sense of clarity for what is going on for H and it is down to the time she has spent with me unpicking everything. Thank you.
Deborah Shilling
I have worked with Lucy for over a year. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and most important down to earth. She can empathise will all the parents and be supportive and constructive with her ideas to support school and home which are not just generic targets but are targets that the children actually needs to move forward. I would highly recommend her work to parents and schools, as a SENCO I can honestly say she has been an asset to our inclusion team.
Parent
Jodie put us at ease and our daughter really enjoyed speaking to her. The recommendations seem to have made her happier in school.
Alex, year 4 primary teacher
I am a year 4 primary teacher, and Karen initially worked with me in reflective supervision. She observed me teaching my class and then was supportive in using Appreciative Inquiry, a positive psychology approach. It made a real improvement on my teaching practice. It allowed me to step back and think about the bigger picture, not to get bogged down in minor negative things. The process encouraged myself and the pupils to think about what was going right. It was a truly enlightening experience that had not only an impact on my teaching, but also on the pupils I taught. The pupil engagement, relationships and behaviour were so much improved. The following strengths project which Karen worked with me on for the pupils was so successful we are rolling it out across the school.
Father, London
I found Dr Lucy Bentley to be very astute and understanding, she picked up the details of my case quickly. She provided excellent insights into the father-child relationship and helped me to improve my time with my daughter. I highly recommend her.
SENCo of Primary School
Thank you Dr Wadey for being so supportive and helpful. You’ve given us a number of strategies to try out with …. (year 5 boy). We look forward to you coming back into school to review his progress.
Year 5 class teacher
Karen worked with me when I was going through what I thought was a tough time with my Year 5 class. I was a newly qualified teacher. We had about 4 supervision sessions. I felt really supported, and together we explored different aspects of my teaching. After each session we came up with two or three actions to work on, and these certainly helped me to see that I was actually doing very well, and had several strengths which I could build on. I would definitely recommend Karen if you want confidential sensitive support in your work.
SENCo, London
It has been a pleasure to work with Lucy. She has been very helpful and knowledgeable about all things SEN, and her skills with pupils with behavioural needs has been invaluable.

Dr Lambert was extremely professional and considerate to our son’s situation, the impact it has had and is having on our family. We would like to thank Dr Lambert for her time and patience with our son.
SENDCo
We have a fantastic working relationship with Jodie who is very kind, patient and supportive towards staff, children and parents. Jodie always provides a professional, sensitive and pertinent service. We are very grateful.
SENDCo
Jodie has gone above and beyond, in my opinion, with her excellent support to our school and the family.
Parent
Jodie was very understanding and we felt she took on board our child’s medical history and the impact this could have had on his learning. Jodie gave us invaluable advice, the reassurance and structure we needed, and made it an enjoyable experience for our child. I highly recommend her. Thank you for your support.
