“To Lavinia, Thank you for being everything we ever needed in a psychiatric nurse! You have made a lifetime of difference to E & myself, and I can’t thank you enough. We will miss you. Sunniest wishes of luck in your new pursuits…”
Emma
Just had my first assessment and I cannot tell you the relief I felt Someone listened to me (and my child). They listened and heard what I was and wasn’t saying. They asked the ‘right’ questions that enabled me to give the answers that I needed (and struggled) to describe. Thoroughly recommend The M Word! I came out of the session to Lavinia and cried with relief.”

"Thank you very much for your time, the reports are fabulous."

"Fantastic report, thank you. We particularly liked that you made little/no reference to his academic ability, something school keep throwing back at me!
Also, the effect that long term masking has had on his mental health, and which still is not picked up by school."
Anon
“Wow, I can’t quite believe how well that meeting went this morning – It was a complete 180 from school. Thank you so much, they did exactly as you’d hoped – they directly asked for your advice! Afterwards they remarked how lucky we have been to find you.
Again, I just want to thank you for this morning, that meeting went so much better than I ever thought it could."

“Thank you so much for an eye opening chat! Truly was WOW. I have just come out to my family and they are 100% supportive which is such a relief and makes me feel excited for the future."

"Before Lavinia I was struggling more than I ever had. It was all made worse by my previous attempts at therapy by the likes of CAMHS and referrals from doctors.
When you would have therapy sessions it felt like you should’ve been getting better, but you weren’t, and that made me feel even worse. I felt misunderstood and that others couldn’t understand how I really felt. With Lavinia I felt like she actually cared and knew how I felt. I always struggled with understanding why or how I felt the way I did, but Lavinia knew and could teach it in an easily understandable way.
Unlike before, I could tell that it was helping, and everything she taught me helped both comfort me and help me deal with my problems better. My only regret was not having therapy with her earlier."

"On meeting her, I felt I had to give her a chance – for me.
She eventually gained my trust and her searching but meaningful questions linked with stuff that we had maybe talked about weeks before, but I had forgotten. She listened, processed, and then suggested some reasons as to why I was feeling the way I was. I still questioned and remained skeptical until her credibility won me over and she followed with reasoned guidance – always without pressure.
I now understand more why I feel the way I do and have some strategies with which to positively move forward – which I have done."
