"Paul has been so helpful yesterday. I felt helpless trying to navigate services for my brother after being let down by the NHS and declined by several private units we really felt hopeless.... he was optimistic for help for us he always kept me well informed and 24 hours later we have secured a placement for my brother. Can't tell you what a relief that is. Thank you so much. I think he has saved a life in the last 24 hours."

"Paul was very helpful, supportive, and professional. He spoke with kindness and gave me the comfort of understanding.

I am grateful for all the help. I hope my nephew can be thankful too, if he agrees to go into the Centre we discussed."
