Anabelle is absolutely lovely. 

She has been wonderful with my anxious 13-year-old daughter, who had been through hormonal changes, a very rough time at school, and the sudden loss of a loved one. 

She really helped my daughter during her time in need, when I was out of my depth and needed some extra independent and expert support. I also super appreciated that she has early evening hours so my daughter didn’t have to miss school. 

So many thanks! 

Testimonials

Anabelle was perfect fit for our daughter. 
She gained a load of confidence in herself and became overall a more confident person. 

Anabelle quickly built up a relationship with our daughter, which was great as she is shy. Our daughter enjoyed the sessions and we can definitely see an improvement in her mental health, as a result of the work Anabelle has done with her . Would highly recommend
