Gift for psychologist

Hi, my dd has been attending the same psychologist for a year and a half, she is moving to another area of work so will no longer be working with dd.
She has been amazing and has made a huge difference to dd’s life.
I’d like to buy her something meaningful to say thank you.
Any ideas please.
TIA

I honestly think that a huge bunch of flowers would probably cover it.

Maybe a fused glass ornament from Etsy maybe something like this or one that hangs by a window as a sun catcher. They tend to be quite pretty and if it's not her style for her house she can keep it in the office.

Therapists aren't really allowed to accept gifts. As she's leaving, a heartfelt card would be great

This is lovely, OP.
I'm a psychologist. The best things I've ever had have been cards saying the work we've done has helped, and letting me know how (usually things that are going better for the person/people). A little gift (the services I've worked in have been fine with gifts if they're not of huge value) is also lovely, and any of the ideas above are very nice. Or a box of biscuits/something to share with the team (if she's in a team) is great. I'm sure she'll just be chuffed to bits that the work has helped, and to hear that from a client/their parent is a beautiful experience. You're being very thoughtful to let her know :)

Today we just bought a mug and a box of herbal tea bags for my ds s camh psychiatrist. Together they only costed a few pounds I just want to keep it simple.

I’m a child psychologist too and I never expect a gift, but when I’ve had them the most special have been something homemade or just a heart felt message. I’m so glad she’s helped your daughter.

Thank you all for your advice. I bought her a small gift and 2 cards. I wrote one and dd wrote the other. Both with our personal messages of thanks and gratitude. Thanks again.
