The aim of the Helping Hand podcast is to inform parents about the range of therapies and therapists available to help them when their children are struggling with social, emotional, or educational difficulties. When I was in this position years ago, I did not even know the words to use to find the help I needed. I hope that by collecting this information together on one website, and by doing regular therapist interviews on a podcast I can spread the word and help people find the right therapy, and therapist, for them in their time of need.
