Annabelle
“This is to say a big thank you for all your help. It has been amazing and quite eye-opening to watch you work. You have an amazing wealth of experience and knowledge, and I am grateful to have met and sat under you, even if it was for a short time. The strategies you have been showing us make a lot of sense in targeting language problems- and I know I won’t do them a fraction of how well you do them – but I am grateful to now have a direction to go in – and to start this slow and steady work with Annabell, each at time, in Christchurch and in school” Jo Gracey, parent and learning support assistant.
“Thank you for teaching me. You are a star. You are a great teacher. I hope you have had a great time teaching me. It was a great time with you.”
“AFTER FOUR SESSIONS WITH Helen, my daughter Flore is already able to use concretely what she learnt.
She can do her homework with everything Helen taught her. Helen has this wonderful ability to “connect”
with teenagers, to make them work hard in a friendly environment. I am amazed to see Flore using words
she could not remember before. It is a huge relief for me to know that Helen will help her this year.”

“I am so excited with the progress that Ben is making with Helen White. Her approach and methods are a
complete revelation to us, in particular that Ben’s recall of all he is learning is so far beyond anything we
have seen in previous therapies. The slow and steady approach consolidates learning in such a way that it
seems almost effortless, while moving ahead at a speed that surprised me.
Outside of therapy Ben’s speech has improved significantly which makes life so much easier for us and him.
His progress at school and ability to interact there are also improving. Helen’s experience and knowledge
are impressive and her ability to connect with Ben (and me) on a personal level make coming to sessions a
pleasure. We are very grateful to have met her.”
“We would like to thank you greatly for all that you have done for Ashley. We are thrilled with her progress
and know that it is the result of your significant expertise.”
