in the last weekAfter being badly bullied, my 15-year-old daughter became withdrawn and stopped socialising. Since joining Creative Minds, she’s found her people and is the happiest she’s ever been. A huge thanks to Sam and Kayleigh for your incredible support — you’re truly an inspiration. x

in the last weekCreatives minds counseling is an answered prayer for my family. Sam has created a beautiful and safe environment where my nervous introverted teen can establish and nurture a healthy, loving and supportive community where she feels valuable and appreciated. Sam has excelled in bridging the gap for our daughter to feel part of a community that accepts her wholly and celebrates her uniqueness and encourages her flourishing and growing confidence. As a mother I am deeply grateful to Creative minds for bringing out the very best parts of my daughter. As I said before, Creative minds is an answered prayer and Sam is an absolute Angel.

in the last weekI highly recommend Creative Minds! The team are passionate, dedicated and empathetic. The physical space is super inclusive, inviting and magical. Will be forever grateful for the part they have played in our family’s recovery from burn out and transition to home schooling.
