Philip is able to create a relaxing environment and was able to empathise very quickly. Philip has an ability to identify the root cause quickly and relate back to me in an easy to understand style. Philip was able to challenge me to think differently about the issues that I was facing which has had a profound benefit both in my private and professional life. I would use Philip again.

Chris is a fantastic listener but is equally skilled at saying the right things to help you achieve the results you are looking for. I went to see Chris in the hope he would help me to cope with deep rooted anxiety, but also to overcome a lack of self confidence. Amazingly he was able to help with both in a relatively short space of time, so I would definitely recommend him to others.

I was suffering from anxiety and when I first went to Chris for help I was not sure what to expect. Having never had counselling before I was nervous and was slightly pessimistic about if it would help me in any way. However Chris changed all that. He was very reassuring and instantly made me feel comfortable with him. The time I have spent with him has significantly made a positive impact relieving my anxiety. I feel I am in a better position to deal with my anxious feeling. Am more positive and each time I see him I feel I have a better handle on my life. I would recommend him to anyone considering counselling.

Chris was very welcoming and very easy to talk to on the initial visit. He showed great knowledge and experience within his area of expertise and within a few sessions with him he came to show me and help me deal with my problems. Chris is a very calm person as expected but what I like the most is that he broke things down for me and explained things in simple terms. I have to say that I am in a much better place today with thanks to Chris and I would very highly recommend him to anybody who has any kind of anxiety problems.
