Testimonials
People experience therapy differently. These anonymous reflections offer a sense of how clients have experienced working with me, including the process of exploring feelings, recognising patterns and understanding themselves differently.
Beginning therapy
Finding enough safety and space to begin talking openly.
Really respectful and listens to everything I’m saying and makes me feel at ease with a process I was so nervous about starting

Looking more closely
Becoming curious about feelings, patterns and what may be happening underneath them.
Rick is such a down to earth guy who really listens and doesn't interrupt when you speak. He's so patient and understanding and shows so much empathy. If I message Rick he always responds in good time. I really appreciate his time and I would definitely recommend Rick.
After 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and anger management
Rick is a very unique man. He is very kind, smart and a great listener. I feel very comfortable sharing personal details with Rick, he is very approachable, light-hearted and funny. I look forward to my meetings with him every week and I love the fact he can ask me the right questions to get me to dig deeper into my mind to figure out thought patterns and past experiences which may be causing certain challenges in my life. This is exactly what I was looking for from a therapist. Therapy isn’t something that works overnight but every session I feel like I am learning more about myself and how I can change my inner dialogue to better serve myself in life. It is refreshing to be able to express myself to someone who understands me, has a passion for what they do and feel comfortable with. This is my first time trying therapy and I would definitely recommend Rick.
After 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
Since working with Rick, I’ve been able to manage my thoughts and rumination which was something that was holding me back in life. Just by having Rick there to listen to me, interjecting to ask the right questions has led me to figure out for myself what was causing this to happen. I would highly recommend to anyone.

What can change
Developing different ways of understanding yourself and responding to what happens in your life.
Rick helped me massively! It made me think actively about how I can problem solve, but also to be okay with things that can’t be changed. Highly recommend him.
After 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes
Rick and I have achieved something I never in my wildest dreams thought possible. I went from being plagued by self-hatred, shame, guilt, thinking I don't deserve help, to a complete change of perspective, and most importantly, hope for the future. If there is one thing I appreciate the most out of everything, it's this. The ability to hope. And to see myself in a more positive light despite my mistake. Rick’s style is asking you the right questions. He'll answer some of your questions, sure, but mostly he'll respond with another question, and blow your mind when you figure out the answer yourself. Sometimes I found myself thinking "Now why is he asking me this? How is this relevant?", but trust me, it always is. There's always rhyme and reason to the questions you get. Thank you, Rick, for your patience and help with this journey!

“Yet again, I'd love to say how grateful I am for your work and help! It's been such a positive and transformative experience working with you. You've showed me so much empathy and equipped me with the skill of asking myself questions that destroy my inner 'bullshit' and help me get closer to truth. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best in your future and hope many other people will be privileged to heal through your amazing work.”
