“Due to being older than Ryan, I was not sure if it would work, however I could not have been more wrong! He has helped me through some really tough times and I have come out of the other side of it stronger. The person I was when I first started counselling and the person I am now are very different. Thank you Ryan!”

“Ryan’s calming nature made me feel normal at a time where I felt crazy. This was the first step to my recovery. From there I started to understand myself better by seeing where my behaviours and feelings stemmed from in my past. Ryan helped me with tools to cope and I was able to start to be in control of my life, something I have not felt before. I wish Ryan all the best, I will always be grateful.”

“I started counselling as I was struggling with things in my life but I now feel so much more at peace. I am continuing with Ryan and do not plan to stop any time soon as it gives me a place to reflect over my week where I can vent, rant or cry as well as a place to make sure I am staying on top of things!”

“Not only did I feel counselling helped with what I was going through at the time, but it has also given me the tools to manage when I may be struggling again.”

“Ryan created an environment where I felt comfortable to open up about things I have never told anyone else before. I was able to talk about my issues and started to create change in my life. Overall, I feel this process has been very helpful and would recommend to others”

“I now look back and think it was such simple changes I needed to make in my life but I would not have been able to come to that realisation without counselling with Ryan. I now feel confident in myself again and have a good balance with what I do in my life.”

“My son said Ryan was someone who understood him which made him feel so comfortable in sessions. I first started noticing the changes in my son after 8 weeks and soon after that, my son did too. I am so grateful and will be recommending to others!”

“I have had 4 therapists previously and was slowly giving up on therapy before I started with Ryan. He has helped my depression and anxiety so much and I now feel like I am able to be the best version of myself. The journey has been hard but I am so glad I stuck through it. I came with a variety of different issues, some of which I wasn’t even aware of, and everything was discussed in detail which helped so much. Thank you for everything!”

“I came to counselling due to my low self esteem and negative way of thinking. My confidence has now improved and my way of thinking has completely changed.”

—female, 19

“After each counselling session I felt so refreshed. I was not sure if counselling was for me but I am so glad I did it. To be honest, it was only until I reflected in my last few sessions with Ryan that I noticed how much I had changed for the better. Cheers Ryan, all the best.”

“Ryan is a fantastic counsellor, who I couldn't recommend more highly. He recently supported my teenage son through a very difficult time; not only helping him to open up about the struggles he was having but also in feeling more positive about himself and his situation. He has an incredibly kind, reassuring, understanding and positive manner. This, together with his wealth of experience helped my son feel at ease immediately. He listened carefully to my son and they worked on a plan of action together with regular reviews along the way. This was crucial in helping my son to understand the progress he was making, how much better he was feeling and also where more work was needed. It is a priceless gift to have a happy, engaged teenager again; who feels well equipped to deal with life's challenges and also positive about the direction his life is travelling in- thank you Ryan.”

Thank you so much for working with my son, he has really enjoyed the sessions and it was fantastic to find someone who he was so comfortable with and could talk to so openly. I have seen such a difference in him since he has been working with you and we are very grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

From the very start of counselling Ryan has been incredibly kind, patient and never put any pressure on me to talk about things I found uncomfortable and even when doing so he was very understanding. Throughout counselling we talked about problems and he gave me techniques to deal with them which I still use and find very helpful. He is very easy to talk to and is incredibly considerate when opening up to, he never judged and never came across as judging . After all the sessions it no longer felt like counselling but talking to a best friend who understands you. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has helped me with and this has definately improved my way of thinking and dealing with life. Thank you so much Ryan.
