Steve is reliable, kind and efficient. Our children who struggle with emotional and behavioural difficulties have benefitted from Steve’s Art Therapy immensely, enabling them the freedom to express themselves in a safe environment. Susan Downey. Children and Families Officer, ST Georges CE Primary School
We required an Art Therapist to work with one of our pupils who was struggling and enjoys Art. We decided to trial Steve, after speaking with numerous Art Therapist’s and thought that he had a nice calming manner. We are noticing the benefits from Steve working with the pupil and will hopefully use him for more pupils in the future. Bethan Law. Family Liaison Green Lane School Woolston Learning Village
