Child centered therapy in Manchester

“Adventure babies has been fantastic! Our daughter has thoroughly loved them (as have I), and this is by far the best parent and baby class we have been to. Really well thought through and executed sessions, With fantastic toys and accessories, always tailored to that weeks book. Cannot recommend these sessions and Hannah (who organises them) more highly, and we have already signed up for the next term!”

“We have been seeing Jenny for over 2 years since our son was 8 weeks old. He was born with Spina Bifida, we started going to Jenny to ensure he was meeting all his mobility milestones. Jenny is really experienced and knowledgeable, helped so much with advice, and lots of tasks to practice at home. Seeing Jenny has been one of the best decisions we made. Our son has full mobility and probably would have had anyway however having regular appointments has given us the opportunity to learn how to help his walking journey with confidence and guidance. She has picked up on things we wouldn’t spot which helped when we meet with the consultants. Would really recommend”

“I've been impressed by the level of consideration, compassion, thought and care shown by the team at Tiptoes. The clinical supervision is of a class and quality that I'd not previously experienced and I valued it greatly. The office is mostly on one level so is very accessible though I think the toilet may present a challenge for wheelchair users to access unaided. It's a comfortable and welcoming environment that's open and friendly. They have an impressive array of therapeutic services available to children, families, staff and organisations. I've found my contact with this service transformational.”

“Great and friendly support groups... helping out in office”

“Emma is a great therapist with a lot of knowledge and skills to help improve a mental health. She's very warm and positive character and I could not find a better one for my son. It brought a lot of benefits for him and me as his mother. Strongly recommend !”

“Karen was absolutely amazing. It was the first time I decided to speak to someone and for me, Karen was the perfect match. I felt understood and safe to share my thoughts and “problems”. I cant thank her enough, she helped me when I needed help and I would recommend her to everyone I know.”

“I recommend Clare to everyone I know. Clare has helped me work through 23 years of trauma and realise that I have a positive future and with visual explanations/diagrams I have a much clearer process to work through any triggers that may crop up.”

“Wonderful hospital with children patients caring need. Good staff.”

“Had to go here for a C spine MRI and I was so nervous and worried but the place has a really relaxing atmosphere in very posh surroundings, the scanner is down a few steps but they have a lift if needed. There were few people in and I was taken straight down. Had my own changing room and locker for valuables and the technicians were so lovely I can’t fault it. I had my head in a cradle which was better for me and my claustrophobia coz I could see the room n my feet and not the roof of the scanner. They provided ear buds and headphones with the radio on. I cud have fallen asleep if it was any longer. I was referred via the nhs. I would really recommend going here. I’m actually a bit disappointed my next MRI in 2 weeks is not here! Lol, I no complaints at all.”

“Very friendly team who are very welcoming. My kids love coming here!”

“Our experience with Dr Oppenheim has been excellent. My daughter has seen her 3 times over the course of 9 years for a bad accident. Very professional and manages to pick up on children's feelings and emotions without you even realising. Very clever Dr, Thankyou for helping our daughter”

“Health visiting team are brilliant x”

“Staff were lovely, no sure what the negative reviews are about. They were kind,listening, and supportive”

“Jo from occupational therapy oldham is the nicest person,she go's above and beyond for you ❤️”

“I'm quite shocked at some of these reviews. My 9 year old accessed this service and we both found it really helpful. Not sure if I am able to name people, but our case worker was absolutely brilliant and just totally 'got' my daughter! He came up with some strategies to help my daughter copy with her anxiety day to day. I never expected my child to be 'fixed' but she has definitely learnt slowly to deal with her anxiety as part of her personality and is now able to use coping mechanisms with the help of the adults around her.”

“My daughter has been under numerous services at the CDC since around 18 months old and we have been impressed with their support and multidisciplinary team working. She has been reviewed by physio, optometrist, audiologist, genetic consultant, speech and language and child development consultant Dr Anjum. We would be lost without their support and are grateful for their input for our daughter.”

“Absolutely excellent service. I got seen really quickly. I had some therapy here with Meredith in 2023. She was amazing. Always listened. Never pushed me and really helped me going forward. I am due to do a referral for more therapy soon.”

“Tracy, Lisa and Katie have helped us so much in helping our teenager deal with overwhelming emotions. They've been really kind and supportive and given us some really useful information and techniques. I can't thank them enough, they're fantastic”

“Very surprised to read some of the poor comments on this excellent service. I have had 2 kids go through this service and I have honestly never seen such consistently high levels of professionalism, compassion and empathy. I understand that when your child is sick, it is easy to get upset, scared and emotional. These are normal reactions, particularly when mental health is concerned. However my experience is of a high quality service delivered by deeply committed professionals. I’d like to mention in particular Mr K Singh, Ms J Lowndes, Dr. Knott, and all the other practitioners that supported both my kids over the years. Thanks to their support, my kids are in much better places than they would’ve been. It is true that NHS waiting times to access CAMHS are extremely long, and I agree that this aspect of the system could and should be better. However, once families are seen, the quality of care provided should not be overshadowed by wider systemic pressures that are beyond the control of frontline staff. Our experience has been one of genuine care, skill and dedication, and I remain very grateful for the support my family received.”
