I found Ben to be a trustworthy, patient and warm counsellor. I felt safe to explore my issues at a pace I was comfortable with and didn't feel judged at any time. I would definitely recommend Ben as an effective and compassionate counsellor.

I would highly recommend Ben to others. He has a very warm and genuine feel to his style of counselling. He has a professional and caring attitude that allowed me to feel relaxed and promoted a great working environment to deal with the the issues I needed to talk through, thanks Ben

I would highly recommend Ben a real down to earth guy who made me feel very comfortable talking about anything. He was able to help me understand problems from my past by just asking a couple of questions I did most of the talking and he listened in a very caring manner. Ben will absolutely be my first choice if I need to see someone again in the future.

Report
I worked with Kerry over many months. I found her to be kind, caring and compassionate. She gave me the space to explore my problems without having an agenda of her own - where I led she came alongside supporting me all the way. She was strong enough to hear things I would be worried to tell other people in my life. She encouraged me to work creatively when I was feeling stuck and had a ready sense of humour which I appreciated. Kerry helped me to find parts of myself that I thought I had lost forever. I got a lot out of seeing her.
