Adults:
2021
My sessions with Adele have honestly changed my life. I could not have wished for a more warm, knowledgeable, caring person to help me on my anxiety journey. If you are hesitant or worried about reaching out for help, as I was, take it from me - it's the best thing I have ever done!
2024
Adele has changed my life! Her support has been incredible and the help and treatment I've received has been excellent
2021
So today marks 6 years since I was sexually assaulted and for the first time I finally feel at peace. I no longer look over my shoulder at what has happened but look to the future. I raised a glass to myself this evening for everything I have overcome. Thank you for everything you did to support me. I never could have done it without you
2023
Adele was amazing! Nothing more she could have done.
Children, Young People & their Families:
Parent, 2020
I cannot recommend the service provided by Adele and NCPS highly enough. Our son was diagnosed with OCD, which was causing considerable distress and having a severe impact on both his social life and mental wellbeing.
When we first engaged with Adele the symptoms were getting worse and we could not see any way forward. Through her patient support and coaching, he learned numerous techniques to help him manage the condition. In addition, the support has helped us as a family better understand the condition and support our son. The positive impact has been truly life changing and we cannot thank Adele or recommend NCPS too highly enough
Child, aged 11, 2021
Adele was so kind and brilliant, she helped me get through all my problems & taught me ways to cope with future problems. I will miss our sessions but I don't need them anymore because she helped me fix my worries!
Parent, 2022
Adele has been absolutely incredible from start to finish. My daughter bonded with her from the outset and I trusted her to do a fantastic job from the very first session. Genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Adele - her compassion, knowledge and skills are second to none!
Autism Service:
Parent, 2023
Every stage of the process with NCPS was clear, informative and respectful. The team at NCPS were so kind and so aware of the emotional struggle most parents carry while getting their child assessed, especially in a world created for neurotypical people, but we felt understood, heard and most importantly, we knew that our son was going to receive the best chance of being heard and understood too, which is something we had struggled to find elsewhere. The support Adele and Sam gave to us will always stay with me. It is no exaggeration to say that the experience we had with NCPS created light in the dark and was the best start to our long journey of advocating for our son. Everything was explained to us, we had opportunities to ask as many questions as we needed to, payment was clear and I just felt like they were going above and beyond at every stage. If you are considering getting a private assessment, I cannot recommend NCPS enough. It was by far, the best decision we made. Thank you again to Adele, Sam and the team - you have no idea how much you helped.
Parent, 2020
Throughout my son's autism diagnosis Adele & the rest of the NCPS team were amazing. So supportive, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. They enabled our family to see the light at the end of the tunnel, going above and beyond to help us achieve a successful outcome. Please look no further if you're looking for an organisation that puts your family at the forefront of every decision. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Parent, 2021
A parental experience that one would expect to be challenging was actually interesting and engaging. NCPS were kind and open, efficient yet gentle. I felt supported and validated and my son easily engaged with the amazing team. The reports are so informative. I feel l know my child more and our connection is deeper. I recommend this service to any parent who is considering assessment of their child.
Consultation Service:
Residential House Manager for children in care, 2019
Consultation with Adele Parker provided me with in-depth insight and understanding of Trauma, Attachment and Shame and how this can affect children’s thoughts and behaviour. Adele helped me to develop my own and my home’s practise to enable us to make our young people feel safe and contained. This allowed us to develop and progress our young people to build upon their resilience and wellbeing. Adele helped me and my team to understand and practise therapeutic parenting within my home which has impacted greatly upon the quality of care we have been able to provide. This has contributed to the home receiving an overall judgement of outstanding at our last three Ofsted inspections.
Residential House Manager for children in care, 2019
Thank you for everything over the last couple of years. You really have helped me so much. You opened my eyes to so much and I genuinely feel like I am a better person and dad because of it. I don't think we can measure the impact you've had and the work will continue
