We have gone from total loss of knowing how to help Shadow, and feeling like we had completely failed him, to confident, calm and having fun again. We can’t thank you enough.

I honestly can say that this is the best money I have ever spent, and I can’t rave enough about how much Mat helped us. We genuinely can’t believe how quickly Benson’s behaviour turned around, and how much everyone’s lives has improved. Mat is a joy to deal with I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Just fantastic.
