My Testimonials
I found 1SP online and came to this as a last resort and my final hope to get control of my stuttering problem. But here I found great experience and techniques that helped. And by the end of sessions I got extra help through counselling sessions that were taken by Mrs.Sayee ma'am. She had an awesome initiative that made us take group sessions and we interact with other people and did single and group exercises. Overall I had a great and helpful experience. I'm actually sure I 'l be coming back for a single counseling session with Mrs. Sayee.
Hello Myself Geeta being part of therapy for Relationship and parenting skills . Ms Sayee was very open and professional in all her sessions. Her sessions helped me to address some of my challenges . Also she supported me with few tools to manage myself . Overall her sessions helped me realise the importance of self care .
Thank you for all your support. 1SpecialPlace may use our first names but not our son's name or our email ID. Please find below our testimonial for your splendid work with our son. As parents we are so glad to break the circle of ’correcting his pronunciation all the time ‘and are happy to concentrate on ‘communicating’ with him.
