Testimontials

  • " I have been referring families to Cleo over the last five years and I have nothing but praise for her ability to engage with children and families, especially younger children in a variety of psychological settings with problems including encopresis, defecatory issues, longstanding constipation, eating issues, dealing with psychogenic abdominal pain and many other areas. The feedback I have had from families has been superb. She is empathetic and practical in equal measure giving families excellent plans. I have no hesitation in recommending her. "

  • “The progress she has made since the start of these sessions has been remarkable. I think by making her feel understood and heard, you empowered her, which helped her overcome her challenges with pooping. Your creative techniques and strategies were not only effective but also enjoyable for her, making the process of healing and growth a positive and memorable experience.”

  • “Your help to get X toileting was absolutely invaluable and I don't think we would have got there without you. She is now regular, going to the toilet at home and at school and sorting this situation has had a remarkable impact on her general mood.”

    Parent Feedback

  • “I just wanted to give you some feedback on your service and the help that you gave me. Everyone that I tired to get help from the Dr, the hospital the school, friends and family, you were the only person who I found strength from and gave me ability to push through and take hold of the situation.”

    Parent Feedback

  • " Having been plagued by withholding issues for over 6 months and thinking that I’d already tried everything, whilst I was happy to listen to Cleo’s advice in my heart I didn’t believe that anything would actually work. But seeing as nothing else was working, I followed her advice religiously and was absolutely amazed to see progress within weeks. My son, who previously soiled 10+ times a day and wouldn’t go anywhere near the toilet now happily “races against poo” daily. He has even used a public toilet (with me helping him) twice this weekend, something that would have been completely inconceivable six weeks ago. Cleo’s advice is simple and easy to follow; we still have a long road ahead but I honestly never thought we’d get this far. Tension at home has decreased and my relationship with my son is better than its ever been. Thank you Cleo! "

  • Thank you so much for the letter and your support over the past year. We were reflecting on the fact that our family life has transformed dramatically over that period, and J seems so much happier and more settled. We were really lost when we first met you and we couldn’t have done it without you.
