Psychologist Claire Ting talks about her Fun Friends group….

Aug 4th

Posted in News

“I have just finished my last booster session with a lovely Fun Friends group that got along really well with each other. I was delighted to hear that one of the boys was having his birthday party the next day, and he had invited the other boys from Fun Friends to his party! They were all very excited about it. It was so nice to see that these children had made friends in the group and had such a positive experience at Fun Friends.”
