​

Contacting Morvwen was without question one of the best decisions we have ever made for our daughter. Although she is not local, we chose Morvwen because of her expertise and, most importantly, her genuine understanding of our daughter’s needs. We initially self-funded before most of our sessions were supported through the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund.  The work Morvwen has done with our daughter has been exceptional. I was initially worried about engagement, but from the very first session our daughter felt safe and able to open up. This is entirely due to Morvwen’s calm, compassionate, and empathetic approach. My daughter described her as “helpful and understanding.” Morvwen always offered practical solutions and support and went above and beyond by attending meetings with myself and our daughter’s school to provide advice when needed.
Throughout one of the most difficult periods of our daughter’s life, Morvwen has been a constant positive influence — offering stability, reassurance, and belief when it mattered most. The impact this has had on our daughter’s confidence and emotional wellbeing has been profound.
As our daughter transitions to support from local CAMHS, Morvwen has ensured a thoughtful and supportive handover and has kindly offered check-ins to help our daughter manage this change, which means a great deal to us.
I cannot thank Morvwen enough for the care, dedication, and kindness she has shown our daughter. If you're looking for a psychologist , local or not — I cannot recommend Morvwen and The Lotus Psychology Practice highly enough.
