“Εἰς τελειότητα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τρία δεῖ συνδράμειν:

“Outstanding quality of care and assessment process. Comprehensive, compassionate, and empowering. I am so grateful to have found Anna, Ignatios and the team. They have helped me find the strengths in ADHD so I can use them to my advantage. Their approach helped me understand and identify what I need, accept and celebrate who I am, and learn what and how to adapt/adjust so I can experience life differently. The clinical explanations, information, strategies and guidance were excellent. I wish everyone could experience the trust, confidence and sensitivity that Anna and Ignatios bring to their work, it's been immensely valuable for me.”
