Testimonials

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Absolutely brilliant service.

After ten years feel we are in safe hands.

This is the first time my daughter has felt heard and understood since she became unwell. It has left her feeling more positive about her future and more willing to believe she will get better. Thank you so much.

Dr Mallucci was amazing during consultation with my son. He felt comfortable opening up to her about his issues and felt she understood his problems and advised of the correct treatment plan to benefit him and to help him get the support he needs.

A very pleasant experience. The doctor gave us lots of time to share concerns and ask questions, as well as offering well-reasoned advice and support. My daughter does not engage well with most professionals, but the doctor put her at ease, which meant that she felt comfortable expressing herself freely.

Really appreciated patient approach, thank you. NB our appt was with Dr Mallucci.

Friendly open environment. Welcoming.

Everything about the apt was so professional with kindness, compassion, gentleness and strength. Thank you Dr. Trudie Rossouw.

It was a very intense session for both myself and my daughter but we both felt we were in very good hands which was very reassuring. Thank you.

We were very grateful to have an in-person appointment as this made a lot of difference to our son, who would not have engaged with a video-call appointment. We felt listened to and understood, and are happy with the follow-up communications.

Alice is very kind, understanding & easy to talk to!

I found Dr Trudie to be very very understanding and explanatory

I was not the patient but found I was supported just as much as my son. I wish he wasn’t stopping but grateful a door has been open and I hope he will revisit. Previously it was bolted. Both my son and I are in such a better place and have some peace to be able to move forward. I has feel strong enough to try and hold him again on my own.

We are very happy with Vicky’s caring support for our daughter.

At last a professional heard what we were saying and gave us practical advice! Response from survey. A lovely safe environment presented by Dr Rossouw who spoke kindly and comprehensively to both adult and child. I felt it was a very satisfactory and successful consultation with an appropriate conclusion for further treatment being reached with my daughters needs and wishes fully considered.

The therapist has been excellent and extremely approachable.

Mandy is excellent in her work, very efficient.

I found Gillian Copland to be kind and helpful as well as always approachable.

Dr Ioanna Vouvra has been the most supportive and steady guide we’ve had through this whole experience. I don’t quite know what we’d have done without her.

Some of the work Dr Rossouw is doing is really incredible and I have great respect for her.

I would like to let you know how grateful I am for your help because you are the first person I feel has understood, respected and taken me seriously from the moment I met you. I am sure your help will change my life for the better and I couldn’t be more grateful for this. Thank you.

My daughter felt that she was understood and that the help she was receiving/would receive in the future would help her make the progress she wants for herself.

Great service, made to feel very welcome.

Very nurturing environment.

Dr Rossouw was extremely welcoming and put my very anxious daughter at ease. She listened to her feelings extremely well. The prep before the meeting was great, it ensured that Dr Rossouw had a comprehensive picture of my daughter before meeting her so the consultation was concentrated on the areas it needed to be.

It was a great appointment and C is really excited about the future. She keeps saying “mum can you imagine it? I will be able to concentrate in school and remember things. C really liked Trudie and thought she was easy to talk to.

I wish we had found you sooner. The appointment exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful to be working with you.

I found Dr Rossouw to be very understanding and supportive. I would recommend her and felt very relieved to have a diagnosis.

We felt Trudie understood us and spoke to us in a language we could relate to both as adults and to our child. Very happy and we look forward to an ongoing relationship for the better good of our son.
