Testimonials

We went through a really difficult time and had it not been for (Amber) we would have broken down as a family…support from her has been significant.

(Adopter)

All my clients have been so pleased with the service that TCPS have offered, and it has been great for me to know that my families have been in good hands and getting high quality relevant therapy from your service. Long may it continue.

(Social Worker)

I really enjoy the sessions, I know I will learn something new each time.

(Nurse)

She was outstanding, she was professional and organised but what we found even more than that was her empathy and level of support was outstanding in a very challenging time.

The provider has excellent assessment skills and ensures that the way in which therapy is undertaken, best suits the clients’ needs and preferences.

I particularly valued being in a safe environment to explore my feelings around my work… thus supporting my practice.

It certainly made me think!!”

Consultation

“(Adele) The staff teams have fed back to me this afternoon how useful they found the sessions today. What you talked about today was so spot on and it followed on lovely with what I had been talking to staff about in supervision but you were able to explain the dynamics.”

(Residential Home Manager)

“I have never felt criticised or undermined in consultation sessions. I have always felt valued as a professional and that my knowledge base is respected. Consultation always acknowledges the skills already present and builds on them.”

“After every session staff always say to me how much better they feel and how (Adele) really seems to understand them and feel at ease to say things without feeling judged. They value her practical advice and provides them with new approaches to try, but is able to do it in a way the staff teams find easy to follow and have confidence in implementing.”

(Residential Home Manager)

Supervision

(Nurse)

“Thank you! Supervision with TCPS is an invaluable and integral part of my working life.”
