This is an informative review for any parent navigating the SEND Tribunal service and seeking clarification , Assessment /Diagnosis for their child . I looked into getting an Autism Diagnosis for my son and Home Counties came up in my search ,, I wasn't familiar with any professional guidelines at the time and what they entailed . I was trying to obtain more support for my child and started the process of trying to get his Send Professionally recognised in the hope of getting him an Ehcp later on as part of an Ehc request to the LA and then proceed onto the Ehcp if successful . This comment is to not mean in a negative way . It was an expensive Assessment , staff took time to understand what we were hoping for and explore all areas of concern . Lorna spent a great amount of time getting to know us which was fantastic and we felt valued . However disappointed when I received the report as there were spelling errors another child's name and date of birth were included in my report twice and had to be corrected by this point , it was an easy fix but disappointing when you spend alot of money and time . Further down the line I discovered that Home counties Assessment doesn't MEET NICE Guidelines and is not a Diagnosis either . This is the LA's response from their community Paediatrics doctor recently used as part of a Tribunal case . Thank you for sharing this report. Whilst it provides a detailed descriptive account of his presentation and maps behaviours to DSM-5 criteria, it does not appear to meet NICE guidance for an autism assessment. Below is the feedback from the LA continues , using it to demonstrate it doesn't give a Diagnosis of Autism which could impact a possible Tribunal outcome . In particular, there is no evidence of a multidisciplinary assessment, no use of standardised diagnostic tools and no clearly documented direct observational assessment. In similar cases, families have fed this back to clinicians and have subsequently been provided with more detailed reports outlining a more robust assessment in line with NICE guidance. In addition, while the assessor’s qualifications are listed, there is no clear indication of registration with a statutory regulatory body or of involvement within a multidisciplinary diagnostic team, which would typically be expected for an autism assessment in line with NICE guidance. This is not an attack on Homecounties because they have fulfilled their role to give the Assessment but I feel a parent who's in desperate need to get what's best for their child , spending that amount of money , should be made clear this doesn't hold up really in a Tribunal case always and then could be directed to seek an official Diagnosis . Response to Home counties I appreciate your message and welcome the new format . I was not offered the LA /Professional version at the time and Home counties were fully aware the main aim of the outcome I wanted and it would be shared with a Tribunal in the future . As it stands giving me a parent or Professional format you mention , this is and never was a diagnosis of autism because it doesn't follow the registration procedures that allows it to be recognised as an official diagnosis . It's purely an assessment following some but not adequate NICE guidelines and criteria .Parents that may be misinformed in the future , as I was , need to know that put in front of a Tribunal it's not deemed to hold as much weight as an official diagnosis and Local Authority's will use thus to fight an appeal against a parent in most cases.

I’ve finished the DBT program almost a year ago and it was a life changer. Repeated it twice. I still live my life keeping most of it in mind, and consequently I’m so much more aware of my emotions and the others. And most importantly I don’t have more outbursts and crazy drama… I don’t think I would be clarified with borderline anymore. The group sessions were incredible; sharing issues and hearing others and then talk it through with the amazing facilitators was the key for me.

A great resource for DBT and addiction support, I’ve been using this online group for DBT therapy, and it has genuinely helped me get a better handle on my emotional regulation. The skills they teach are practical, and the online format made it easy to stay consistent. If you're looking for an online program that offers real, everyday tools for emotional stability or recovery support, I definitely recommend giving them a try. HCT have also provided me with solid support for therapy during my battles with multiple addictions and managing life afterwards. They handle both mental health and recovery in a way that feels balanced and non-judgmental. I have used them successfully for several years for both myself and members of my family.

From the very first moment I contacted Home Counties Therapy, Lorna was amazingly welcoming, kind, and reassuring. She immediately made me feel safe, heard, and supported at a time when I truly needed it . Attending DBT groups with Matthew was transformative. His understanding, and skill helped me develop tools to manage my emotions, change harmful patterns. The support I received through these groups has had a profound impact on my life. I honestly cannot thank the team enough. They helped me move from a really challenging time to a place where I am now building healthy relationships, feeling stronger, and living with hope.

Being a part of the DBT Group has opened my eyes to some comforting truths: that I'm not alone in my struggles, that help and understanding is out there from peers as well as therapists, and that there are skills to learn that can help me manage my daily life. It took a few weeks to adjust to the process (I'm a nervous sort!) but the welcoming atmosphere, honesty, and advice from both the group members and the facilitators helped me to feel respected and seen. The skills themselves are also explained well which made it easy to get my bearings.
