Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

We had an excellent experience throughout the assessment process and felt extremely well supported from beginning to end.

We initially had a consultation and assessment when our son was five. At that stage, the assessment concluded that there were not significant enough signs to confirm a diagnosis of autism, but that some traits could become more apparent as he got older and that a further review may be appropriate in the future. Looking back, this proved to be exactly right and gave us great confidence in the thorough and balanced approach taken. We never felt that there was any attempt to reach a predetermined diagnosis.

A few years later, as some of those traits became more apparent, we returned for a further discussion, pre-assessment and assessment. This time, the assessment confirmed a diagnosis of autism.

Throughout both assessment processes, our son was completely at ease. He was made to feel comfortable and the approach was very child-centred, which made a potentially daunting experience feel much more straightforward for him and for us as parents.

The findings were explained extremely clearly and in a way that helped us to understand our son and his needs, rather than simply providing us with a diagnostic label. The post-assessment meeting was particularly thorough, professional, reassuring and supportive. There was plenty of time to discuss the findings, ask questions and make sure that we were comfortable with and understood the outcome.

We were also given the opportunity to ask further questions following the meeting, which was incredibly helpful and demonstrated the genuine support provided throughout the process.

We are extremely grateful for the thoughtful, professional and compassionate approach we received. The fact that the initial assessment did not result in a diagnosis, followed by a diagnosis when the evidence became clearer, gave us particular confidence in the integrity and quality of the assessment process. We would have no hesitation in recommending this service to other families seeking a thorough, balanced and supportive SEN assessment.

Depression

After getting my referral, Oak Grove were in contact with me almost immediately. Everyone I spoke to were incredibly kind, caring and professional. I cannot thank them enough for all the help they offered me.

Low Mood

Very positive and productive. The team are amazing and I am already feeling the benefits.

Maria is a warm and compassionate individual, and in my view excels at what she does. 

She has a calm and welcoming manner, able to take the reins and drive the conversation when needed but also allowing space with true active listening when I was sharing. 

She has given me tools that I can use for life and enabled me to understand my worth and what self love really looks like. It’s not just about being warm and fuzzy but also providing myself with tough love when needed and making a real commitment to myself, even if that’s uncomfortable or hard. She has taught me to understand my emotions aren’t a burden to myself or others, and that they are indicators and should be welcomed in as guests into the home of my mind, and then gently excused when it’s time for them to go home or allowing them to sleep over but only as long as they are helpful and not hurtful. 

I’m sorry grateful for the support and will continue to use my Wednesday morning “Maria time” to continue my own practise and sharpen the valuable tools she has provided me. 

Thank you Maria 💜

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

Mindfulness

I have worked with Ranjit on and off for many years and have benefited immensely from her support. She is an empathetic, understanding and non-judgmental therapist who creates a space where I have always felt listened to and supported.

I particularly value the range of approaches she brings to her work. She has helped me both practically, with tools and strategies to better manage life and my emotions, and more deeply, to work through difficult emotions, understand past experiences and develop a much better understanding of myself.

I am very grateful for the support she has given me over the years and do not hesitate to recommend her to others.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

I felt safe in the space that Ali welcomed me into and felt listened to. I am greatful for the techniques and tools I have been given to help me get back on my feet. Ali has the most warmest energy about her and it felt easy to just talk about what I needed to. Anna has also been great to communicate with and very easy going.

Please see previous comments. Matty was amazing throughout - polite, very knowledgeable & professional.
