Who we are…
Testimonial
“After her first session at WTB, my daughter's initial nervousness was replaced by excitement for Wednesday afternoons.
With the support & guidance of Kate & Zarah, she has gained valuable social skills which have boosted her confidence at school, she now feels more comfortable asking her teachers for help if she needs it. We have noticed that she is also more in control of her emotions &
seems happier in general, resulting in a more harmonious environment at home.
The sessions have helped our daughter to feel less alone, discovering that other children have also faced similar difficulties including bullying & friendship issues, & helping her to understand herself & her feelings better.
She has really enjoyed WTB & will be sad when it’s over. We highly recommend giving it a try!”
