Wow she never stops does she! I have even contacted Rip of Britain about this unhinged, under qualified and uneducated person. They were very interested however it would have meant telling my son’s story on TV and compromising his privacy so I left it. I’m sure it won’t be long before someone is prepared to do it though!

What is there contact info? I’ll reach out to RIP.

In totally get why people don’t want to talk to them and I’m not sure info either. It’s taken enough peace from my life. Added so much stress, self doubt, overwhelm.

I’m so tech challenged I don’t know how to do it. I can’t even figure out how to edit my comments

Thanks @Perfectstorm72 My husband is fine thankfully. He was really sick with cancer last year and they thought he had terminal brain cancer this year. Then we found out after 4 months that they had misdiagnosed him. It was not my intention to "wallow". I was not leaving out details to be sneaky. My point was that in a very stressful experience, the company did not add extra support or show concern for our family. I never felt supported or compassion for the company. But they were happy to denigrate me and attack me and call me a liar for not adding every detail of our cancer experience. My mention of my husband's diagnosis was relevant in that they offered no extra support in a stressful time. It was not to manipulate people to feel bad for me as they are suggesting. Thankfully, he is well. I never intended to say he is not well now. We had a scare again this summer where they thought he had a treatable cancer on his brain but an MRI August 3 showed that it was gone. We all have challenges. I know you do too. I just thought after paying so much money, they would have offered more support in a really stressful 4 months. We got one email saying they were sorry this was happening and that was it. We called and told Davina that it was most likely a misdiagnosis and my daughter told her mentor as well. We were never hiding it. It was a lot of ups and downs.

@NettieRE do not feel you have to explain any of this. The fact is you went through a stressful time and the company that were supposed to support you did not offer that support. Then subsequently they used that awful traumatic experience against you when they felt threatened by your review of your experience.

That's really shocking behaviour from people who are supposed to help with anxiety.

@Hols12345 You would think if they are sincere in their mission, they would be more concerned with the mental health of customers than bombarding anyone who did not feel they benefitted from the problem with aggressive language. Would it not be more appropriate to respond in the range of......Sorry we did not meet your expectations in a difficult time. Thank you for the feedback so we can do better.... Alas.........

Ummm… The Mum’s Net??? and www.themumsnet.com

Surely real Mumsnet’s legal team would have something to say about that, wouldn’t they?

Clicking that link give me a "this page is not secure" warning. It's almost as if it's been made with malicious intent.

Very, very helpful.

This is what everyone needs to read. It sums up the experience perfectly. Well done @twoandtwois6

So very interesting

NettieRE · 26/12/2023 23:28

@3xteens Thanks . Yes, they never checked on our child either. I never felt a sincere concern or compassion. Nobody with sincere concern would employ a manipulative sales script to get families to go into credit card debt. Debt is a big issue and a catalyst for anxiety, not a reliever of it.

whatsonyourplate · 16/06/2024 20:19

Thank you to all the previous posters, I'm glad I found these threads. They are currently heavily advertising on Facebook as 'Child Anxiety/ school refusal' website anxietyrecovery.co.uk
They sounded too good to be true, luckily a few red flags made me investigate further.

Well done for checking them out first. Wish I had! Not sure if these are new names as I've lost track. And I've probably been blocked so that's why everything has 'gone quiet'. Hope you find something that helps.

3xteens · 17/06/2024 08:21

@Hols12345 hi there. It's gone quiet on here for a while. I just wondered if it's worth adding the newer website name anxietyrecovery.co.uk to the title?

Thanks. The sad thing is despite knowing everything I know now, I still want to believe her. She's incredibly persuasive and we are increasingly desperate.

TherapistandParent · 17/06/2024 12:45

Me too. She has such a huge following on FB now. Even schools are enquiring about her services. My biggest hope is that she’s learned from her mistakes and truly does want to help these families.

whatsonyourplate · 17/06/2024 12:50

Yes part of her current offering for school refusers involves a zoom call with the school - I'd be interested to see what they make of her.

That is worrying. Understanding how schools are being pressured currently by DfE and LA’s it’s very concerning that schools might be taken in
