Reviews
We know that reviews are important; here’s what some of our clients have to say about our services…
“My mentor has been amazing and has been so helpful with both helping me understand my autism as well as how my autism is impacted by my mental health (and vice versa). She has been extremely supportive and at times, I have felt she is the only person who understands what I am going through on a day-to-day basis. I’m very grateful for her ongoing support.”
“I wouldn’t be where I am without mentoring – thank you.”
“Receiving mentoring and study skills has been the single most helpful bit of support that I have been granted by the university. They help to prevent small issues from becoming big ones, because I am able to address these issues within a few days of them first arising.
It’s been especially helpful in getting me to better understand the ways that I work best, and to notice patterns in my behaviour; the things that I do that lead to my becoming more productive and happy, and the things that lead to the opposite. This means that I am developing the skills to eventually become entirely self-sufficient; I’m not learning one-off fixes, I’m learning universal methods of developing coping strategies for each new challenge that I meet.
I’m very grateful to have been afforded this opportunity, and I’m certain that it has been the driving force behind my improved mental health and academic performance.”
“Extremely valuable in helping me… mentoring has helped me to deal with my worries about social and academic issues. Without this help I would be in a much worse state than I am now.”
“Support has been very good, transition to online was seamless and has been about equally good to face-to-face for most matters. Vital for getting any work at all done during this most disastrous of panics surrounding the pandemic.”
“Mentor support from Spectrum First has been better than anything else, because it is calm and clear and well organised.”
“Excellent in accommodating and understanding the difficulties I faced with paying attention in remote sessions. Furthermore, granting us a platform of choice to host the sessions was also much appreciated.”
