Testimonials

What People Are Saying

I am delighted to give testimony for Chelsea Buckley I have had the opportunity and privilege to work alongside Chelsea since June 2021.

I find Chelsea to be driven, passionate and committed to supporting children and young people fortunate enough to come under her wing. Chelsea goes over and above in her present role, ensuring the young people in her care feel respected and genuinely valued. Her genuine love of supporting those in her care is evident in results achieved. I have witnessed children settle back into mainstream education after periods of non-attendance, after recommendations to secondary school have been adhered to. I am aware the intensive self-harm support that Chelsea offers brings a reduction or complete cease in incidents of harm following training from CAMHS. Her year 6 students transitioning to secondary school have always settled well after periods of extreme apprehension and gone on to do well in year 7.

The Resilience Practitioners support all of ‘Our Children’ in their transition to primary school and Chelsea has particular success in supporting this cohort, their needs can roll over, requiring additional emotional support and Chelsea is always keen to continue support where necessary.

I know Chelsea will achieve great things on her chosen new path and wish her every
success for the future.

"I was really scared to talk to someone about my mental health,
but Chelsea made me feel comfortable and safe. She helped me
to understand my thoughts and feelings and taught me how to
manage them. I feel so much better now."
