Friendly and gentle approach
Apprehensive at first about using a therapy service for my 11 year old son. Christians professional yet friendly and gentle approach has enabled my son and family to be in a happier place. Would certainly recommend and reach out again to AoC if needed. Thank you

Warm, friendly and professional service from all of the team
I contacted AOC for my son. From his first session he felt comfortable and positive about the sessions. He’s come so far since his time with AOC began in the summer. He’s actually having his last appointment today and he has become more confident and has smashed challenges that we never thought he would. I know that AOC has made a huge positive impact on his life and he is reassured to know if he ever needs support again in the future, they’ll be there. Thank you so much!
I highly recommend these guys!
We sought the help of the AoC in March 2023 for our autistic son. We wanted him to build a relationship outside of home and school. Somewhere he could be himself without judgement. Needless to say we found it! Our referral was passed on to Rachel an Art therapist and it wasn’t long before our little one built a strong relationship.
Rachel was kind, welcoming and above all has the patience of a Saint. On a weekly basis our son made more mess than anyone could deem possible but Rachel took it all on and built a bond with our son. The past 8 months with the AoC have been amazing, the communication from both Ben & Rachel has been clear and professional. If anyone is looking for a safe and welcoming place for their child/children or even themselves I highly recommend these guys!

The support she received through The Arts of Change had been ‘life changing’
“L said that the support she received through The Arts of Change had been ‘life changing’ and she felt like her ‘perspective had changed’ dramatically. L said it was good to have the opportunity to talk about things she hadn’t spoken about previously with anyone, and as a result, she felt ‘more settled’, ‘calmer’ and was ‘spending more quality time’ with her grandchildren.
L said that she had made ‘lots of positive changes’, including stopping smoking and being more physically active. She said that her relationship with her grandchildren had improved, and she was also being stricter with her personal care. L said that even her grandchildren’s behaviour had improved, as they were accessing the support that they need, due to intervention from Integrated Plus and L being less stressed.”

“I have found my sessions with Jason really helpful. There has been a big change with my mental health since by first session. Family members have noticed a difference in me and the atmosphere at home has improved. I have managed to get out of the house a lot more which makes things more enjoyable.”

“Many thanks to The AoC for the excellent service” – Brian F, Client.
“Many thanks to The AoC for an excellent service. Reception and administration have been efficient and welcoming.
The counselling services have been remarkable. My counsellor was compassionate and caring leading me through a journey from childhood experiences to an understanding of my present situation and the impact these had on me now, then signposting me to acceptance of it and relating this knowledge to a happier future. This was one with great warmth, energy and intense concentration. She had tremendous memory recall of earlier sessions, exploring and focusing on these issues and gently leading me through a journey.
I have been delighted by this service and by the people providing it. Thank you so very much.”
