My daughter has been under the care of Rebecca on two separate occasions through CAMHS; most recently since November 2021. Rebecca has taken the time to engage with my daughter due to her disability (Autistic), it has at times been a challenge. She has shown compassion and the utmost patience with strategies for my daughter. Rebecca is always consistent and follows through with what she has agreed with both myself and my daughter which is so important for someone with autism.

My daughter was due to be discharged in February after a short, successful intervention. Unfortunately, her mental health again deteriorated and meant both her home and in particular, school life escalated. Rebecca is so easy to approach that I contacted her to explain my concerns and although my daughter was going through the discharge process, Rebecca was there as a support for both me and my daughter and was an amazing advocate when involving the school.

She has really taken the time to get to know my daughter and the whole family dynamics, and really strives for the best to ensure my daughter has the right coping strategies in place, home life is adapted and the school is informed also. At any time I have a question or a concern, Rebecca will always find the time in her already busy day to speak to me and offer advice, or just be there to validate how I have felt as a parent with a neuro-diverse daughter - as this is also all new to me.

I really don’t know what I would have done without the continued support of Rebecca. She will always stand out to me as someone who has gone above and beyond her duty and I feel very lucky to have her involved during this challenging and difficult time!
