"(My daughter's) emotional and mental health has improved so significantly since she started her counselling...My mind is so much more at ease about her wellbeing and it's wonderful to see her so happy."
"I would just like to say a massive thank you to you all at Talk Well for being so supportive towards my daughter. Although it’s only words of thanks, my wife and I really appreciated what you did for us as it has given us a little understanding as to why our daughter felt the way she did and will enable us to help in the best way that we can.
We would never have known how to go about things if it wasn’t for organisations like yours to point us in the right direction.
And a special thanks to Sophie for all her help and support."
