Patients' Stories
The following is an excerpt from a letter written to Mr Clive Lindley-Jones regarding one of his recent Sunflower therapy patients:
William's story

William has always had a range of difficulties, particularly with concentration. He also found it difficult to maintain eye contact and was very emotional, with frequent outbursts of temper. William received a Sunflower Bursary in September 2005 and was treated in Oxford at Helix House.
William’s mother writes. . .
‘I am writing to thank you most sincerely for giving my son William a bursary to enable him to receive treatment with the Sunflower programme'.
‘Prior to attending, William displayed a range of difficulties, which became more apparent when he started school. He had a marked lack of concentration, even at times seeming to be in a complete ‘world of his own’. He needed constant prompting to stay on task in both school and homework.
He had problems in socialising with his peers and he found it difficult to
maintain eye contact with anyone other than close family.
From the first session William enjoyed going to Helix House and very quickly built up trust and rapport with
Clive. Clive always explained exactly what he was doing and why on a level that William easily understood.’
‘I started to see changes in William quite quickly. William today is a different boy. He has found new confidence, plays with other children well, maintains eye contact, volunteers conversation with adults and is generally a lot calmer. There have been improvements at school. His concentration is improving; he is above average in reading and spelling and all other subjects is comparable with his peers. I feel that the Sunflower treatment has really unlocked his potential and I am now looking forward to seeing his achievements.’
‘I cannot thank you enough, because without the bursary we could not have had this wonderful opportunity. My heartfelt thanks to all at the Sunflower Trust for all your kindness and support.’
