This is what our clients have generously reflected (testimonials linked to EMDR Trauma Therapy, VIG-Video Interaction Guidance, Training (including ELSA), Systemic, and Group Work with parents and other mental health professionals):
“Working with Denise has helped me more than she will ever know. I was able to learn how to manage difficult emotions linked to traumatic memories. I no longer need to worry about these memories and them triggering difficult emotions. It has made me feel lighter, happier and I am able to move forward. Truly life altering”. (EMDR Trauma Therapy Client)
‘Denise is one of the warmest most compassionate people I have met, she put me and my daughter very much at ease she is so insightful and empathic, she helped me draw on my strengths and helped me see the connection I have with my daughter, she built a lovely rapport with my daughter and made the VIG (Video Interaction Guidance) experience enjoyable and safe. Denise gently helped me to look at how to manage my challenges with my daughter. I cannot recommend Denise highly enough.” (Video Interaction Guidance Client)
‘The advice and support offered by Psytribe are invaluable in how we work with children at Cornerstone Alternate Provision (AP). Psytribe works with the child, parents or guardians of the child and Cornerstone staff to plan the best outcomes possible for the children who attend our provision. Their knowledge and understanding of the children we work with are of the highest order and their advice helps us design the most effective package possible to help support the children who attend our Cornerstone AP’. Damien Sweeney, Head Teacher – Cornerstone AP)
I’d highly recommend Dr Denise Honeyborne to anyone needing a child and educational psychologist assessment for their child. Denise was very adept at putting my child at ease so that they were relaxed enough to do the required assessments to the best of their ability. At the same time providing a confidence boost which was amazing for a child struggling at school. Her counsel to me as parent was gold dust and she really did go the extra mile for us. Thank you Denise! (Anonymous, Parent)
‘I found the ELSA training that Psytribe deliver really beneficial to my role as both a pastoral TA in school and then as a Learning Mentor for the Virtual school. The ELSA sessions and supervisions were engaging and helpful and equipped me to support the vulnerable young people I work with on a daily basis. Denise are extremely knowledgeable and I recommend their training in every school I go into!’ (ELSA).’
…’the ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) training and role has helped me in developing my work in school with children with social, emotional and mental health needs. Being an ELSA has also helped me in my career progression, having recently been appointed within a specialist environment supporting young people with significant needs’. (ELSA)
‘Thank you to Dr Denise Honeyborne, who gave a presentation to Hogan Lovells Pro Bono volunteers about working in a trauma-informed way. The presentation was comprehensive and engaging, and it has given our volunteers vital insight as we continue to undertake Pro Bono projects that widen access to justice and strengthen the rule of law.’ Hogan Lovells Pro Bono Team
