Testimonials

Parents

You are an incredible star, you are a saving angel who has made such a difference for our family and for many, many other families out there with your expertise and your beautiful way of connecting with children. I just wanted you to know that.

Parents

I was shaken up and taken by surprise when I learned of my ADHD. I, the high-achiever 50-something woman, ADHD? It never occurred to me (or to any of the endless doctors and psychologists I’d seen over decades, for that matter) that I would have ADHD, that that was the red thread through all those acute burn-out periods, nights filled with agonizing ruminations and my immense perfection requirements ensuring no one would see my self-perceived deficiencies. You patiently, compassionately and with your extraordinary knowledge and expertise saw me and my well-hidden struggles, and you helped me understand what was going on and how to find ways that work for me and make me thrive. And my family loves it – my outbursts now cause mutual giggles and jokes rather than tears and slammed doors! All thanks to you…  

Parents

Your report is superb, as is your support. You changed our lives. And, without doubt, lives of many, many others. You are a superstar.

Parents

You’re right, you didn’t make our daughter amazing – however you made her start seeing how amazing she is, and you gave her the confidence and tools to work with her skills and talents. Her relief and “suddenly everything makes sense” and references to how you said this and that that is so spot on comes out in drips, while I’m just happily sitting back listening. And you should have seen her cheeky smile when she said you’d talked about how this could explain why she was always so angry when coming home from school, and why she and I argued so much. Best ever. You are amazing.

Parents

You are a blessing and incredible at connecting with our child. How and what you told her made it all fall in to place for her. She was taken aback at first, but your way of talking with her the way only you can made her embrace her situation, even joke about it, and already working on actions and getting all the help as you recommended. It’s incredible to hear and see. With anyone other than you this would have taken weeks or months. And I doubt she would have wanted to talk to me already. You are a true miracle worker. A child whisperer…

Parents

Just wanted to let you know the psychiatrist you referred me to called seconds after your email and with reverence in the voice gave me a priority appointment “since I’m referred directly by Dr Storek herself”. You wizard!!!!

Parents

Our (university age) daughter told me yesterday about your assessment and review with her. In a rarely heard affectionate voice she said you had told her sooooo much, things that were so totally spot on and that made such sense and she recognised herself. THANK YOU. You very noticeably clicked with her right away, from your hello to her, and continued from there. She rarely talks with that voice about topics relating to any adult at all, if ever. You are magic with kids. My husband and I just had a bit of an emotional moment of profound gratitude to you, relief for our daughter, happiness that the two of you clicked so well… Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Parents

Your report about our son is extremely well written and clearer than any other report we’ve ever had. It gives a full picture, doesn’t “just” talk about details but also connects all the dots. It is an amazing report, and we both think so. To hear your words and your intonations and your explanations when answering our questions added yet a dimension to it. It was a true luxury to hear you talk about our son in the way you did – with all the incredible investigation you did on him, and with your personal comments about him as we spoke. Your consultation with us made it all come alive even more, which meant a lot. The way you explained it all in real terms while constantly referring back to the facts, figures and observations in your report, and the possibility for us to ask questions during the course of our consultation. You are passionate and extraordinarily knowledgeable and experienced, which shines through every sentence both in your report and consultation. You are not just good at what you do, you are exceptionally good at what you do. Your passion for your work and clients shines through at every stage and it’s a privilege for us to have had your help and support.

Parents

A very big thank you for your incredibly professional, informative and thorough report! You really have done a huge amount of work… I don’t know how we can even ever thank you enough for this. Your contentiousness and clarity in what you write and in the discussions with us is the most extraordinary gift to us. A big, warm thank you…!

Parents

What you have done for us changes so much. We now have much to learn and work with, and can now do it with joy, relief and confidence. No other health professional saw what was going on. But you did…

Parents

THANK YOU… I’m not sure how I can ever thank you enough. Your patience and calm is extraordinary – you listen to my same questions and statements over and over again, you take the time for both our child and myself. Your expertise and your intuitive way with us and our children is an extraordinary gift to us all. You never even yell straight out at me in frustration of my questions, or when we are slow / head in sand / complicated about taking it all onboard! There are no words for what you have done and are doing for us, and the difference you have made to our family. Dinners turned from short fuse arguments to joking bantering about life w ADHD and referrals to lots you said about how it differs for women, girls and boys. This all has put our family relations in a whole new dimension!

Parents

Hi Josephine, we wanted to say a warm thank you for seeing our 18-year-old daughter, for the report you prepared for her, and for taking so much of your time to help her/us. It was magic to see how she who is normally restrained with new people was so completely and genuinely relaxed and joking with you right away when you let her in, and still with me in the car on the way home afterwards. We thought your report was extremely well written and considered and trust that your extensive and insightful analysis will prove a key steppingstone for her to understand herself better, how she can treat some of her challenges and concerns and get the best support at her university going forward. 

Parents

After meeting many “specialists” across London and the US to help us diagnose and provide advice regarding our daughter, Dr Storek clearly stood out for the breadth and depth of her knowledge, her judgment and the quality of her assessments. She takes the whole child into consideration and never starts with a preconception or a cookie cutter approach. As a father who was slow to recognise my daughter’s neurodivergent characteristics, Dr Storek helped me understand her challenges and gifts, and think through practical parenting tips to enable my daughter to be successful. Four years on, I still consider it the best time and money I have ever invested. My daughter is thriving and happy, and as a family we are well equipped to support her.

Parents

Dr Storek has broad and deep knowledge and experience of neurodivergent conditions and takes the time to do a thorough assessment. In a field where the quality of assessment and treatment varies widely, she is thorough and deep, coupled with the right level of data and never presupposing a “standard” answer. Dr Storek takes a holistic approach to evaluation. Our psychiatrist proactively commented that her reports are best in class and the most thorough he has received. Importantly, Dr Storek has an affinity for and a strong connection with children. Her approach is engaging and non-threatening and as a result, our daughters truly enjoyed their experiences with her. They did not complain about the testing and quickly developed a trusted bond which allowed for them to feel psychologically safe, open up, and fee engaged with readily her findings. As parents, we found her tips to be practical and pragmatic and included consideration of the impact on our other daughter. Overall, our time with Dr Storek changed not only my daughter’s life, but our whole family. Our daughter is thriving now and I believe this is largely due to her intervention and involvement. I’ve recommended Dr Storek to more than a dozen friends and colleagues and have always received the same feedback “this was a life-changer.”

Parents

“I am enormously grateful for the Herculean effort you’ve put into this work. As you know, only too well, we’ve really struggled to find anyone who could understand and help our son and you’ve done that in spades. Thank you again.”

Parents

“We wanted to say what a huge difference you have made to our lives – seems amazing that you single handily have set us all on a path to recovery. The home life is 99% calmer and in such we are seeing our daughter come on leaps and bounds as my husband and I now understand what she needs ADHD-wise to cope with the world and how helping break down the day in to bite size steps has revolutionised our life. Without doing self-diagnosis I realise that I too, have ADHD, which is why there are so many triggers for me around my daughter. I totally empathise with who she is and how she feels, so in helping her with her ADHD is in turn helping me with mine.

I know it will be 5 steps forward and 3 steps back but I cannot thank you enough for your insights and expertise. You are so empathetic and sympathetic to what is such an emotive area and your understanding about the desire by parents for their child not to be labelled is refreshing and genuine, in only a way that another parent can understand. So a HUGE  thank you.”

Parents

“At the risk of repeating myself, I do once more want to thank you for all your help and support at a time that was so difficult as to be almost intolerable. It was made significantly more tolerable by both your help and kindness and care and was, and is, much appreciated.” 

Parents

“Thanks you so much for the report. This is so helpful. I am so happy we did this and had our suspicions confirmed. At least we can start to get the appropriate help for our little one now.”

Parents

“We required the service of a psychologist as we are in the midst of school transitions as part of leaving UK and moving to the USA, with our three children. We managed to find Dr Storek and are so thankful we did! In our recent experience with her she managed to walk the line beautifully between personal and professional- both with us and with our children. In the sessions that our children completed with her, she was able to not only obtain the needed information for the evaluations we’d requested, but also gain our children’s trust and confidence, so much so that couldn’t wait to return for their follow up visits! Her reports were detailed, insightful and informed but also clearly showed a distinct understanding of each of our children. She went above and beyond in the follow-up period as well and was very patient with us and all our questions. I cannot recommend her services enough! If you’re looking for a truly gifted but also caring child psychologist- you have found her.” 

Parents

“Dr. Storek conducted an aptitude assessment of our boy ahead of his school assessments. Dr. Storek was fantastic – extremely professional, detailed in her ex-ante explanation of what the process would cover, including the pros and cons of different options. On the day, she was great in getting the best out of our son, who was very relaxed and did not feel that he was being assessed at all – it was a “special playdate”! She provided some immediate feedback, and suggested next steps. Finally, we received a very detailed and objective report. We are very pleased we saw Dr. Storek, and would highly recommend her to anyone. We look forward to seeing her again in a few years’ time.”

Parents

“”Dr Storek is a passionate professional who puts the child’s welfare as her priority while simultaneously ensuring the parents are an integral part of the treatment. In a couple of sessions, she could articulate and explain traits we had observed in our child for many years but had been dismissed by others, which was a wonderful relief. Thank you!”

Parents

“After nearly three years of watching our sensitive, gentle child struggle, lose confidence, even move school, we were still no further forward in helping him. Cue many, many sleepless nights. He had been labelled incorrectly by his previous school and things continued to not add up…It wasn’t until we had Dr Storek recommended that everything started to make sense. Dr Storek spent the time needed for a full and thorough assessment and we could put a plan in place. Even our son was excited by the prospect of her report arriving because he knew he had been heard. He had great fun with her and clearly enjoyed her kindness and consideration. Dr Storek may just have changed his life, and indeed ours, and for that, we are sincerely grateful.”

Parents

“Your report will help me to build stronger relationship with my daughter. I feel that I understand her needs better. Hope to help her to feel happier.”

Parents

“”After seeing many professionals who couldn’t figure out why my son was underperforming, suffering with insomnia and anxiety, having meltdowns at home etc, we were incredibly fortunate to have heard Dr’s Storek lecture at the Independent Schools show about gifted/ADHD children. Since having my son assessed with her, it has opened my eyes to a world that I never knew about – ADHD & giftedness. She assessed him thoroughly to determine if he had any learning issues that were impeding his ability to meet his high potential at school. She recognised so quickly that inattention and inability to concentrate were the source of my son’s frustration in school and the knock on effect of that was felt at home on a daily basis by his sibling and parents. Dr Storek recommended that we see a doctor for an ADHD diagnosis and it has been uphill from there… I am in great indebtedness to her for turning things around the future of our family. would recommend her at the drop of a hat to anyone who is suffering with a difficult and frustrated high potential child.”

Parents

“ I have been working with Dr Storek since 2010 and had 4 of my children assessed by her. Dr Storek has not only been of extreme professionalism, leading to concrete suggestions on how to best assist my children, but she has also built a nice bond with the children, which enabled to extract the best possible outcome for them. Dr Storek reports are very comprehensive, with very clear recommendations and application of her knowledge. She has also been able to recommend a selection of the best professionals, best positioned to aid   the children. Her academic credentials are world-class, but more importantly, her human touch and best recommendations for an optimal outcome to support my children. I strongly recommend Dr Storek for anyone seeking world-class children abilities assessment advice.”

Parents

“Again, many thanks for all your help.  We greatly appreciate the very thorough report you send following the assessment. We will keep referring to it for a long time (I just know).”

Parents

“Thank you for all your help and support. I do not think we would have navigated these times without you. Thank you thank you thank you.”

Parents

“Kensington Practice has been crucial for our family as Dr Storek has managed to provide insights that made us realise our son was misdiagnosed in the past. Dr Storek provided recommendations and redirected us to the correct path. We feel very lucky to have been able to find Kensington Practice.”

Parents

“After years of struggling to understand some of our 10-year old son’s behaviour and experiencing frustrating situations both at home and at school we were fortunate enough to meet Dr Storek at a symposium. Josephine is highly intelligent and a true expert in her field. She also has a big heart, is very warm and clearly passionate about helping children and their families to overcome their challenges. Despite her busy schedule, Josephine was extremely accommodating and made time at quite short notice to meet us all and assess our son. Josephine instantly put him at ease, and, for a child who normally internalises all his worries, he remarkably opened up to her fully. In just 2 hours, Josephine was able to figure out what makes our son tick, what his strengths and challenges are and to explain these to us in a way that made us feel as though, after all this time, we were finally understood.  Josephine followed up her verbal diagnosis with a comprehensive written report which has prompted school finally to recognise our son’s learning difficulties and implement appropriate measures to support him. Equally importantly, Josephine gave us sound advice relating to parenting our son more effectively and tips on how to create a home environment that allows everyone to thrive, be happy and understand each other. We remain forever indebted to Dr Storek.”

Parents

“Thank you for yesterday. Our son had an absolutely super time. He was exhausted last night but he felt so uplifted by the entire process – entirely due to your approach to him. He could have stayed with you all day!”

Parents

“Thank you for your kind comments. Our son really enjoyed his two mornings with you and was quite disappointed not to be coming back to you the following day! He still keeps asking when he can see you again, bless him!”

Parents

“Seeing you has really been a joy for our son. He said he prefers to see you again – even if it’s work! Thank you!”

Parents

“It was a real pleasure to meet with you! My son was very happy after his test and I liked that he was calm. Sometimes he worries that he can’t write properly and needs more time with writing and reading and after meeting with you he feels a little bit special…!”

Parents

“ If anyone can get to the bottom of it Josephine can.” 

Parents

“It was very nice to meet you last week and thank you for all your time and effort. My child really enjoyed the assessment with you. Thank you for making him feel at ease with the process and for working so hard to support him.”

Parents

“I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for the wonderful work you have done with our daughter. This has been so helpful. You are a wonderful person. I can’t thank you enough.”

Parents

“We always knew that our daughter was different/unique/special and despite trying to get help for 13 years, still had no answers. She resisted nursery and school and we are always greeted with tears, anger and frustration at the end of each and every school day. She never hugged or kissed us or held our hand and never wanted to share our bed. We moved primary schools thinking this was the cause of her unhappiness but after a social setback at school she spent 6 months in hospital. School continued unhappiness/negativity. We then looked for help and were recommended to visit Josephine. Josephine understood straight away …. everything made sense. Although we have Asperger’s in the family, it is apparently different for girls. Being high functioning brings its own issues hence the relative normality at school and contrasting behaviour at home.

Thank you, Josephine for your help and continued interest in our daughter. You have helped us as a family and we hope this understanding will now help our daughter to help reach her potential happiness in the years ahead. We will be eternally grateful to you.”

Parents

“Just a note to thank you for all you have done for my daughter and me. Your report is remarkable, a very detailed and comprehensive piece. You are amazing and your professionalism is outstanding.

I can’t thank you enough.”

Parents

“Our daughter had been going through a tough time and we were recommended to speak with Dr Storek who conducted various assessments, handling our daughter very sensitively. In fact, our daughter loved the morning she spent with Dr Storek. On the basis of this information and detailed engagement with us, Dr Storek was able to advise us on probable root causes to the issues and recommended various steps to help our daughter now and also to thrive in the future. We are very grateful for the insights and support. “

Parents

“Our daughter had great feedback on your session. She seem to really connect with you and appreciated your insights into areas she is struggling with. She is confused by why she finds school work difficult, given her effort, so hearing from you on possible clinical reasons seem to really help her. A lot of what you told her seem to resonate. She really appreciated that you better understood her challenges. She is coming back to see you next week, which is great.”

Parents

“Our son still mentions his assessment with you last year and we are so pleased with his progress to date following your guidance and recommendations.”

Parents

“Thank you, I’ll be in touch again if we have questions – you’ve been incredibly helpful, thorough, insightful and generous with your time and energy. We really appreciated such a thorough report and feedback and feel clearer about our next steps.” 

Parents

“Thank you so much.  It’s clear to us from your letter that you are extremely good at what you do and you have captured our child’s likeness very well.  It’s also clear that you are working very hard.  Thanks so much for helping us, we are very grateful.”

Parents

“Thanks so much for the call today.  It was such an eye opener for us and helped us tremendously to understand and make sense of our child’s behaviour.”

Parents

“We feel it was a breakthrough yesterday and our son did seem brighter after speaking to you. I think he understands that you are on his side and you have been really helpful. I’m really pleased he’s been able to talk to you and we feel a sense of relief that he has for the first time shared some of his feelings. My husband and I are reflecting on how he feels and we both think he has some really valid issues, which we are going to work on. He would like to discuss your findings with you directly. Thank you again for your support, I can’t express how grateful we are. I know you work so hard and you’ve gone out of your way to help us even though you don’t have the time. I feel very blessed and I’m really truly thankful.” 

Parents

“Thank you very much for your time today. It was valuable to hear your thoughts. Your dedication and drive to provide the best support is inspiring. I found it validating to hear your assessment. It is the first time through this whole process when things started to make some sense, which I find reassuring and I feel like gives us a stronger platform to move forward to best support him (and ourselves!). We appreciated your emphasis on educating ourselves and understanding this in order to adapt our behaviours to work with him and support him in the best way possible.”

Parents

“Thank you so much for your report and your quick turnaround during such a busy and uncertain time. I am incredibly grateful for your time, your input and your concern for our daughter.”

Parents

“There are so many reasons to thank you and you are very special. You helped us even when you didn’t have the time. I don’t know anyone that would have done that or in fact anyone who works as hard as you so it’s a heartfelt thank you.” 

Parents

“I am following up to thank you for the consultation last week. It was a valuable complement to the report you provided. Many thanks for your advice and support.”

Parents

“I meant to email you much earlier to send a big thank you for the report you prepared for our daughter and for taking so much of your time to help her/us. I thought the report was extremely well written and considered and hopefully such analysis will prove a key stepping stone for her to understand herself better and how she can treat some of her challenges and concerns. Once again, sincere thanks for everything.” 

Parents

“You’ve made such a massive difference to our lives, I can’t begin to tell you. All the advice you’ve given us has helped us so much. I know my son is very insecure in our relationship but I’m working hard to get him to trust me again and you’ve definitely enabled that. Things like today are a reminder for him that we want to help. I really am so grateful xx”

Parents

“ I cannot thank you enough. My son can continue to have the access arrangements at his school. You have been amazing all along. I cannot thank you enough for your time and support.”

Parents

“Dr Storek was extremely helpful in assisting my son. He is like a different child since his time with Dr Storek.”

Parents

“The knowledge and insight you have provided us with will be life changing.”

Parents

“Thank you so much for an incredibly valuable consultation yesterday.”

Parents

“Dr Storek is incredible and superb at what she does as she really cares.”

Adults

“I wish to thank you for your availability and feedback. It has been very useful, mostly for me to feel reassured. As you mentioned in the past, assessing our children can have a reflective impact on ourselves, which is useful. I wish I did it when I was a child. Surely, very common comments from parents!”

Adults

“Thank you so very much for your email  – its probably the best one I’ve received in a year, at least it offers hope of a treatment course or process. Your help over the last few days, it has been invaluable. I will seek help from my GP urgently and let you know how I get on. Thank you for your help.”

Adults

“Thanks so much for seeing me last week and for your messages. The consultation really helped me to work through things and I have read most of the book you kindly gave me. It is also helping me to understand myself better. I am so very grateful to you for your help and support. It is making a huge difference.”

School/Teachers, Press

“ I have just left a message on your answering machine re a report your wrote on  one of our pupils in pre-prep. Frankly, it has made a wonderful start to an otherwise wet, grey day! As you can imagine, I spend many hours reading post assessment reports but yours struck me as being exceptional.”

School/Teachers, Press

“One of the US schools we were having our daughter apply to commented ‘Who has done this assessment? Who wrote this report? It is one of the best we have seen over many decades. Such a thorough understanding of gifted child.”

School/Teachers, Press

“Thank you. I have just read your excellent piece. It brought tears to my eyes. . I haven’t changed a single word although I may have to cut some of it on the page.”

School/Teachers, Press

“Just wanted to thank you for giving up your time again to talk to the girls and for sharing your knowledge with us! Girls and staff reported back that it was fascinating. I look forward to watching the recording. Hopefully next year we might be able to repeat it but in person.”

Parents

“Please pass my thank you to Dr Storek for having been so nice to my son today. He enjoyed his assessment.” 

Parents

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you helping facilitate such a productive and insightful call. The teachers all left feeling so much more well informed and happy to deal with the journey ahead. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you have done so far for our child and our family.”

Parents

“We just wanted to say thank you for all your very quick help recently! “ 

Parents

“Thank you for everything Josephine you really are an extra special person and we are so grateful to you for all the support you’ve given our family.” 

Parents

“We have truly found your interventions and ideas for dealing with our daughter’s situation so insightful. We have completely changed our parenting approach as a result and seen her confidence and happiness grow on a daily basis. There will of course be so many ups and downs but we feel so much more well prepared thanks to your guidance. The teachers also seem much happier. We will get back in touch, as agreed, to update you with how things are progressing. Until then, please once again accept our deepest thanks for fitting us the way you did, your unfailing support but most of all for the way in which you looked after our daughter in your sessions with her. She still talks about you and your kindness and looks forward to seeing you again in the future.”

Parent

After nearly three years of watching our sensitive, gentle child struggle, lose confidence, even move school, we were still no further forward in helping min. Cue many, many sleepless nights.

We had been labelled incorrectly by his previous school and things continued to not add up… It wasn’t until we had Dr Storek recommended that everything started to make sense.

Dr Storek spend the time needed for a full and thorough assessment and we could put a plan in place. Even our son was excited by the prospect of her report arrive because he knew he had been heard. He had great fun with her and clearly enjoyed her kindness and consideration.

Dr Storek may just have changed his life, and indeed ours, and for that, we are sincerely grateful.

Pupil, 18 years (St Paul’s) and his mother

She is super intelligent Got me straight away. I feel so much better, understood, no judgement – only after one session.

Pupil, 18 years (St Paul’s)

You have been so incredibly helpful. No one, no one ever gets to him. You understood him, how he works straight away. Incredible. He came home and I could see the weight has shifted off his shoulders. He wants to come back already. Thank you, thank you.

At the risk of repeating myself, I do once more want to thank you for all your help and support at a time that was so difficult. It was made significantly more tolerable by both your help and kindness and care and was, and is, much appreciated.

Head of SEN at leading independent London School

As you can imagine, I spend many hours reading post assessment reports but yours struck me as being exceptional.

Parent apply to a US school

One of the US schools we were having our daughter apply to commented, “Who has dont this assessment? Who wrote this report? It is one of the best we have seen over many decades. Such a thorough understanding of a gifted child.”

Parent

Dr Storek is a passionate professional who puts the child’s welfare as her priority while simultaneously ensuring the parents are an integral part of the treatment. In a couple of sessions, she could articulate and explain traits we had observed in our child for many years but had been dismissed by others, which was a wonderful relief. Thank you!

Parent

We asked Dr. Storek to assess our son in order to find out which 11+ or 13+ school would be best suited to his ability. She made our son feel really comfortable during the assessment day and was able to give us some immediate feedback as well as a detailed report about his strengths and weaknesses. Based on her recommendations we knew what we needed to work on and which school my son would excel in, he got into City of London as a result. Couldn’t thank her enough and would highly recommend her service to anyone who seeks to nurture their children!

Parent

Your report would really help me to build stronger relationships with my daughter, based on better understanding of her needs. I can’t wait to start improving everything: school, tutors, nanny, my personal time schedule. Hope to help her to feel happier and more grounded – I can’t possibly thank you enough.

Parent

We are now embarking on a multi-disciplinary assessment in the coming weeks which includes a clinical assessment and evaluation across a number of areas which we hope will give us an absolute position on our daughter’s condition. Professor Richardson was very impressed by the comprehensiveness of your report incidentally and it is his plan to build from that as opposed to starting from scratch.

Parent

This is a little note to thank you very much indeed for your extremely comprehensive report on our son. We have shared it with his school and they feel that they are now in a position to truly support him.

Parent

At the risk of repeating myself, I do once more want to thank you for all your help and support at a time that was so difficult as to be almost intolerable. It was made significantly more tolerable by both your help and kindness and care and was, and is, much appreciated.

Parent

Thank you so much for the report which is so clear and most helpful. We are so pleased that our suspicions have been confirmed and even more that we have acted on them, rather than waited in hope that things will improve. My husband thought that your suggestions and recommendations in regards to our daughter were fantastic. We are so pleased that you worked with our daughter and can not thank you enough. Thank you so much again for all your help.

Parent

I am enormously grateful for the Herculean effort you’ve put into this work. As you know, only too well, we’ve really struggled to find anyone who could understand and help our son and you’ve done that in spades. Thank you again.

Parent

I appreciate the timing is ridiculously short to get my daughter out of school and all, but so is life, and more importantly, so is the number of healthy liver cells I have after realising that tens of thousands of pounds later, the so called private education I have been sweating blood to pay for, was simply and utterly incapable to spot, what you, in about 120 seconds with her, found impossible to miss. I need your professional skills to help me get this matter into my own hands, and with some luck, get my shiny, happy little girl back! Knowledge is gold, and what you have given me today is priceless. Thank you, I owe you big.

Parent

I wanted to say what a huge difference you have made to our lives – seems amazing that you single handily have set us all on a path to recovery. The home life is 99% calmer and in such we are seeing our little girl come on leaps and bounds as my husband and I now understand what she needs to cope with the world and how helping break down the day in to bite size steps has revolutionised our life. We now have an understanding about the calm and firm and quiet home life that she needs to function and we also make sure she is kept more active in positive pursuits. All of which have helped greatly. Without doing self diagnosis Irealise that I too, have the condition, which is why there are so many triggers for me around my daughter and also that I totally empathise with who she is and how she feels so in helping her with her ADHD it is in turn helping me with mine.

I know it will be 5 steps forward and 3 steps back but I cannot thank you enough for diagnosing her. You are so empathetic and sympathetic to what is such an emotive area and your understanding about the desire by parents for their child not to be labelled is refreshing and genuine in only a way that another parent can understand.

After seeing many professionals who couldn’t figure out why my son was underperforming, suffering with insomnia and anxiety, having meltdowns at home etc, we were incredibly fortunate to have heard Dr’s Storek lecture at the Independent Schools show about gifted/ADHD children. Since having my son assessed with her, it has opened my eyes to a world that I never knew about – ADHD & giftedness. She assessed him thoroughly to determine if he had any learning issues that were impeding his ability to meet his high potential at school. She recognised so quickly that inattention and inability to concentrate were the source of my son’s frustration in school and the knock on effect of that was felt at home on a daily basis by his sibling and parents. Dr Storek recommended that we see a doctor for an ADHD diagnosis and it has been uphill from there… I am in great indebtedness to her for turning things around the future of our family. would recommend her at the drop of a hat to anyone who is suffering with a difficult and frustrated high potential child.”

My daughter thinks you walk on water. She felt so energised and positive after your session! Thanks so much for today.

Parent

Our son has come a long way! Thank you for being such a rock Josephine. I feel like we are emerging from under a cloud all the stronger and better for finding out how our son ticks.

Parent

My wife and I are so grateful for the help you’ve provided to our son. We’re convinced that without your help, we would have struggled on for many years, not knowing how we could best help him. You are the bright star in our sons world. Thank you.

Parent

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. You are such a great and concerned professional! It is so important to have your input.

Parent

Thank you, Josephine. Terribly proud of our son and the progress he has made. Almost hard to believe those bleak moments few months ago. He is readier than he realises to embrace their deeper approach to learning. I’m very excited for him. Thank you for your constant support. It’s meant the world.

Parent

Again, many thanks for all your help. We greatly appreciate the very thorough report you send following the assessment of our son. We will keep referring to it for a long time (I just know).

After years of struggling to understand some of our 10 year old son’s behaviour and experiencing frustrating situations both at home and at school we were fortunate enough to meet Dr Storek at a symposium. Josephine is highly intelligent and a true expert in her field. She also has a big heart, is very warm and clearly passionate about helping children and their families to overcome their challenges. Despite her busy schedule, Josephine was extremely accommodating and made time at quite short notice to meet us all and assess our son. Josephine instantly put him at ease, and, for a child who normally internalises all his worries, he remarkably opened up to her fully. In just 2 hours, Josephine was able to figure out what makes our son tick, what his strengths and challenges are and to explain these to us in a way that made us feel as though, after all this time, we were finally understood. Josephine followed up her verbal diagnosis with a comprehensive written report which has prompted school finally to recognise our son’s learning difficulties and implement appropriate measures to support him. Equally importantly, Josephine gave us sound advice relating to parenting our son more effectively and tips on how to create a home environment that allows everyone to thrive, be happy and understand each other. We remain forever indebted to Dr Storek.

Kensington Practice ha sido crucial para nuestra familia, la Doctora Storek diagnostico a nuestro hijo con ADHD tras varias visitas a otras clinicas donde nos daban un diagnostico erroneo. La Doctora Storek tambien nos asesoro acerca de los siguientes pasos a seguir para tratar a nuestro hijo. Estamos muy agradecidos y nos sentimos muy afortunados de haber dado con la Kensington Practice.

Parent

I cannot recommend Dr Storek highly enough. She was warm, personable, open and reassuring and really connected with my daughter who was rather anxious about meeting with Josephine and taking the tests. The results and report were very thorough and helpful and our follow-up conversations with Josephine really pointed all of us in the right direction. I am thankful that we met her!

Just got back from a meeting with our new Head. Your name came up randomly, so I said that you are one of the smartest folks I‘ve ever had the opportunity to know and that there is no one better to talk to in London. I hope you don’t mind for giving out your details to our Head; she will be in touch.

Parent

Just a quick note to thank you for yesterday. My son had an absolutely super time. He was exhausted last night but he felt so uplifted by the entire process – entirely due to your approach to him. He could have stayed with you all day!
