We felt this visit was the first time everyone left an appointment feeling "heard".
Feedback from a mother
Just to let you know that our daughter is about to start university (away from home) and has arranged GP and bank account all on her own. She has made so much progress and is very happy.

The team have also changed our approach to the handwriting problem and removal of this worry has benefited us all.’
‘Within a couple of weeks of her visit, our daughter’s FND symptoms were significantly improved and soon after totally gone. We remain so grateful to Prof Heyman and Nimmi for this.’
I am doing very well in school and at home, I haven’t collapsed for over 8 months now!! And I am getting top marks in all of my subjects….. Many many thanks

Thank you for the very informative appointment. It was so helpful and reassuring too. The doctors who assessed my child were truly amazing! Thank you so much.
Feedback from mother of 6 year old
We were seen quickly, our concerns as parents were listened to and most importantly our child was listened to. For the first time they felt heard. You provided an excellent report following our child’s assessment. Out of all the wellbeing and mental health professionals that my child had come into contact with, you were the only ones to bring up the fact that our child may have autism. Thank you for helping us get to the cause of their mental health problems. As parents we are now able to support them better and have seen their mental health and life improve.
Feedback from mother of 17 year old
I want to say thank you for all the help and support you gave us when we were at a very low point… watching her recover was such a relief. She is now at university and loving it!
Feedback from a mother of a young person with functional symptoms:
The report will help the school put in place all the necessary measures to best help.
Just to let you know that we have received the report and I am ever so grateful to Professor Heyman, Dr Duncan and Dr Walker their kindness, customs and professionalism.’
‘The service at Mind and Body London has been a great help for our daughter and for us as a family.
‘And some very very good news that has made nearly everyone I know cry when they heard about it. Tomorrow …… will be a year since I had my last collapse. Yes can you believe it, because I almost can't. It's really a whole year.’
Feedback from 18 year old
You will not believe it but I don’t think we need another session. My child had their vaccination today! …. thank you for the fantastic work you did. It was extremely helpful — both for dealing with the anxiety around needles but also more broadly learning calming techniques in case of anxieties
Feedback from 17 year old
Thank you so much for the letter. It summarises everything about our child and is just what I need to send to their future school. Thank you once again for all yours and Dr Liang’s help. It really has been life changing for us and our child and hopefully now they can reach their full potential.
Feedback from mother of 9 year old
I just wanted to extend our sincere thanks to Dr Mitchell & Dr Shumka. It was an incredibly valuable session for all of us, and we truly appreciate their calm, thoughtful and expert approach. Our daughter really connected with Dr Shumka – we've not seen her respond so positively to a practitioner, which was hugely reassuring for us as parents. Thank you to both doctors for creating such a safe space for her.
