Honestly I’m so excited about this! It’s all just going to make helping me get my degree so much easier! And I’m not gonna be dreading the idea of having to study and complete work. Thank you so so much for your help honestly, I could never thank you enough for all the help!…

BM - Functional Neurological Disorder
"

I've just finished a phone appointment with Claire Sorfleet (Winchester) and wanted to write to say that she was absolutely fantastic. Claire was exceptionally helpful, the whole call was friendly and clear, and I think that it exemplified exactly how any appointment ought to be. So, I wanted to say thank you and make sure you were aware of the great job she's doing.

LE - dysgraphia, anxiety and depression
"

I'm pleased to say that the assistive technology and mentoring are working very well and helping me to keep on track with my studies. The technology makes my coursework immeasurably easier, particularly now the majority of my learning is online/computer based - the training was comprehensive and allowed me to understand and operate the software effectively. The mentoring helps to keep me on track and committed to my studies and helps my organisation. Thank you for being so accommodating and providing this equipment - I am on track with my degree with the first time in years so I am very grateful!

LN - emotionally unstable personality disorder and depression
"

I am happy with my assessment and Richard was very helpful. The equipment has been good. I have spoken to my one-to-one support and feel that it would be beneficial if I could ask for more one to one support from Clarions. I currently have 15 hours and feel now I have been given a different tutor that it has really benefit me.

AG – Dyslexia
"

I had an assessment with Claire Sorfleet, and I just wanted to say how fantastic she was. I was very apprehensive about the assessment and immediately she made me feel at ease and very comfortable. It was very refreshing to speak to somebody who clearly cared for the job. I am very thankful to have had my assessment with Claire as I was able to confide in her and I will now receive the help and equipment I need finally in my last year of university. I know that I will be able to achieve far more now I have this help and that wouldn’t have been possible without Claire’s help.

EV - Depression
"

I just wanted to say thank you very much for your time and helping me with all this, and for being so friendly in the assessment. It's such a big help and I really am so thankful.

AT - Mixed Anxiety and Depression
"

Thank you so much for putting me at ease during our conversation this morning. I got lots of useful information from this. I will start looking through the attachments you sent.

LC – Autistic Spectrum Disorder
"

Thank you once again for your help and support for the past few years. I found this to be useful and supportive of my studies and I think these services would be appreciated by many students.
