Our Cherished Feedback

“Since the Cherished Course, the girls in our school are more comfortable to share their feelings and recognise their emotions. They felt so supported during the course and they are much more confident within themselves.”

Landau Forte Academy

“The students absolutely loved the sessions with Cherished and the staff who ran them. Our children get so much out of working with the wonderful team at Cherished.”

Kings Rise Academy

“A beautiful service for students. The staff and resources are fabulous and really in tune with the students' needs.”

Sutton Girls Grammar School

“The training through Cherished has made me much more aware of what could be causing certain behaviours. I will definitely remember the 4Ss of attachment and use the framework when interacting with students.”

Bmet Training Course Attendee

“The girls who attended the Cherished Course in our school showed improved attendance. These girls had previously had time off for mental health needs. They have had a more positive outlook on their abilities and friendships in the group have improved.”

Bishop Walsh Catholic School

“Cherished has been a lifeline and we are really grateful for the difference it has made for our child who didn’t want to go to school, didn’t want to engage and was upset most nights.”
