“Thank you for helping me to get where I am today”
I have spoken to several people in my life but I never thought there was someone like Allan. Never judging but he helped me travel a different road to get me where I am to this day. He helped me to understand my issues in a completely positive and different way. It’s been an absolute privilege to meet him. Allan, thank you for helping me to get where I am today. By helping me you have also helped everyone around me.

“Life changing”
After visiting a few counsellors and psychotherapists I was still at square one. When I found Allan, I asked him in our first meeting could he just do the Shallow Hal whammy thing on me — because I was exhausted in every way. He laughed and said, “Let’s talk about what’s going on…” Fast forward to now, and I finally have that whammy — only in the real sense. I just live in today. Something I never dreamed I’d do. Allan gives you yourself back — only better, well-prepared and at your best ever imaginable.

“I describe my experience as life-changing”
I forgot what it was like to be happy. I was so tough on myself and believed my purpose was to serve others. I was emotionally finished. Allan helped me find the keys to my own happiness again. I felt like I was talking to a close friend who genuinely understood me. He is compassionate, professional, and has a true gift for understanding people. Many thanks, Allan — you truly helped me change my life.

“Counselling helped me regain control of my life”
I had a lot of confusion and anger in my life, unable to let go of my past. I’d never done counselling before but Allan made me feel comfortable from day one. He helped me take back control after 30 years of being stuck. I can’t recommend him highly enough — he even went above and beyond for me. Many thanks, Allan.

“Helped me get back to being me again”
I was near breaking point and unsure if talking would help. But I looked forward to our sessions, and slowly started feeling like myself again. Allan was professional, supportive, and never judgmental. I’ll always be grateful — especially for learning to be kinder to myself.

“Amazing therapist – highly recommend”
I felt lost, but Allan helped me see the good in myself and reminded me that I deserve to be happy like anyone else. I’m so glad I reached out — there’s no shame in seeking help, and this was the best place to do it. Thank you, Allan.

“I haven’t had much experience with counsellors, but…”
As a new parent, I was struggling to control my emotions, especially anger. I emailed Allan a few times before booking — and I’m so glad I did. He helped me develop a whole new perspective on how I handle emotions. The setting is discreet and professional, and Allan’s sense of humour helped lighten difficult sessions. The insight I gained has exceeded all expectations.

“Amazing therapist”
As a guy, I thought it wasn’t normal to seek help — but after a few sessions with Allan I went from not leaving the house to cycling 30 miles and joining a gym. Highly recommended.
– Male client
“I cannot recommend this service highly enough”
Making the first appointment was the hardest part — but I’m so glad I did. It was freeing to speak without judgment. The clarity I gained helped me think more clearly and navigate difficult situations. Allan is professional, understanding, and very good at his job. I’m grateful to have him as my counsellor.

“Very good for making you realise things…”
The location was perfect, and Allan made it easy for someone like me — who finds it hard to talk — to open up. He helped me see things from a completely different perspective. That insight made it much easier to move forward. Very grateful.
