Parent Testimonials

"Children In Mind were recommended to us by our first private Dr who went on to retire. The transfer of care to them was considerate and seamless. Our daughter instantly felt hope and trust in the treatment provided, it also gave us hope for real help and support for our daughter's needs. We have had constant support, immediate care in a crisis no matter what day of the week. Our daughter’s future is 100% brighter under the care of Children in Mind. We have lots to thank them for."

"Our family appreciated all the time and effort that you had put into the assessment and our daughter reported she was listened too! Every written assessment was spot on like you really knew our daughter! We cannot thank the service enough!"

"Both Gary and Dr Sunil Pulapaka at Children in Mind have been kind, compassionate and made both of my children feel comfortable to talk. One of my children has received a diagnosis through the clinic and the process was well-organised with a report sent by email within a few days. I would highly recommend this service to other parents."

''We cannot recommend the service highly enough for their outstanding work with our son, who has been navigating the challenges of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. From the moment we began working with the service, their compassionate and patient-centered approach put us and our son at ease. They have extensive experience and deep understanding of child and adolescent mental health which were evident in every session/meeting. The service provided tailored approaches to meet our son's specific needs. The interventions were life-changing for our family. The expert guidance helped address behavioural issues that were impacting our son both at home and in school. Their ability to connect with our son and help him express himself was remarkable and we saw steady and significant progress. The detailed reports the service provided to our son's school were instrumental in creating a supportive and structured learning environment. These reports offered clear, actionable insights that ensured the school could fully accommodate our son's needs. Thanks to the advocacy, the school implemented changes that have allowed our son to thrive academically and socially. Today, our son has everything he needs and we owe much of that to the tireless efforts the service provided. We are incredibly grateful for the support and cannot imagine where we would be without their guidance. The service truly made a profound difference in our lives.''

"We transferred the care of both our sons to Gary and Sunil and couldn't be happier. When I first made contact, I received an emailed reply within a couple of hours and a telephone call was arranged for the next day. They are both very responsive with any queries we have and most importantly my boys feel comfortable with them. I feel confident under their care and would highly recommend."

"As a parent, the hardest thing in the world is to watch your child struggle with their mental health. With increasingly long waiting times for the NHS, The Child & Adolescent Psychiatric / Psychological Therapy Consultants have been a godsend.  Response to our initial inquiry was almost immediate with a plan being put into place within days.  When you don’t have months (or years) to wait for the help your child needs, I  would highly recommend The Child & Adolescent Psychiatric / Psychological Therapy Consultants."

"Having watched my daughter struggle with mental health issues for over 2 years, it was such a relief to find Gary. He was incredibly supportive, arranged an assessment really quickly. From there we were able to see Sunil, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Sunil was fabulous too. I was able to get the right support for my daughter and she is on the way to recovery. The ongoing support has also been amazing. I can contact Gary for support and help, I would highly recommend the service. Thank you."
