It’s helped me feel more confident at school. I feel more confident and happy in and out of school. The House of Dreams helped me set goals.

it was great that she helped me and i even achieved a full term of school with her help.

My practitioner is amazing and has changed my life and this is the first person I have trusted and be myself with.

I would recommend the service to any parent whose child is experiencing challenges. As well as providing supportive strategies, signposting to services that can advocate on parents behalf or provide advice was a great resource. A truly holistic approach is considered when delivering support and guidance.

it definitely helped me and should help other people as well.

Using drawing and toys I was distracted enough to be able to talk about hard stuff
at the centre staff Claire were all really nice.
I’m happy with the care I had.

the people listen to you and don’t judge you or question your thoughts and feelings, they just find ways to help you.

All support was truly tailored to my sons needs and challenges, whilst I am informed from both lived experiences and work history my assigned Wellbeing Practitioner who was brilliant at exploring and adjusting varied tools and supportive strategies. The entire programme felt very supportive and individualised.

They really listened and every week i got to say what had happened the past week and i got more confident as we went along. The waiting room is also really nice.

Listened and giving me actual advice that works that will help me later in life

i felt listened to and worked in a way which was comfortable for me and at a pace i liked.

my counsellor was very nice and funny and allowed me to take my time with questions

It is helping me build my confidence to talk to people.

you can tell that they actually care

i felt herd and listened to
a strong bond outside of school teachers
i had someone i could trust

My son’s therapist had strategies which she adapted to suit his needs and help us understand what we can do as parents to help support him through his issues. The care was goal oriented and helped us target the crux of his thinking and problems. Helping us understand how best to support our son was reassuring and has empowered us as a family.

My daughter is more conscious about the benefits of getting herself outdoors / with friends ie. to improve her general mood although finds being social difficult generally and hard to do unless pushed / organised by someone else.

That we are so very thankful, that you have been there, and are able to help us. Thank you so much.

It was so nice to be listened to, my daughter opened up very honestly of how she feels. I am so grateful for these sessions.

Our practitioner has been brilliant, my daughter and I have both learnt a huge amount. She has listened to us and given tools on how to overcome worries and concerns … she is extremely, kind, patient and caring and she has taught us a huge amount, in a safe environment.

My introductory session with the Bromley Y practitioner was genuinely impactful. As a parent navigating busy, exhausting routines, she helped me reflect on how we can better understand and respond to our children’s emotions offering practical tools and strategies that felt immediately applicable. Her attentiveness and empathy created a safe space for open, meaningful dialogue. I left with a clearer sense of how Bromley Y can support our family’s well being journey.

My daughter received counselling from a practitioner at Bromley Y. She connected with my daughter on a level that my daughter felt comfortable with sharing her fears and concerns. The practitioner built the level of trust and was able to convince her to learn new coping skills. My daughter changed over the course of the sessions with this practitioner and is more confident about how to go about difficult situations. The practitioner also had sessions with me (mum) and taught practical ways of dealing with a teenager and was understanding of my side, too. We value her counselling greatly and she had a huge impact on my relationship with my daughter and my daughter’s wellbeing. (Anonymised for privacy)

I am a family worker at a local primary school. I am so grateful for the tireless work that Bromley Y do. We have regular contact, access to webinars and resources that I can pass on to parents. Bromley Y staff are all lovely and constantly endeavoring (sic) to provide support for children, young people and their families. I am so grateful I can consult or refer. THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AT BROMLEY Y!

The Mental Health Support team at our school has been amazing we don’t know where we would be without them.

I knew it was time for my sessions to end, but I didn’t want them to. My practitioner was so lovely and calm and helped me sooo much.

I thought my practitioner was an absolute star, she helped my daughter understand that her difficulties were valid and she was genuinely wanting to help her overcome them.

When I understood that all of my fears are inside my head and based on opinion, not reality, I realised the chances of what I’m really worried about happening is very low. This helped me to overcome my anxiety gradually and to feel much better over time
