I have had many visits with Colin. He has been very helpful in helping me work through some issues. He is kind and east to talk to. He is a good listener and gives good feedback.
Colin had helped my husband and I to communicate better, attedning Colin has improved our marriage. He has sent on relevant helpful information to read. He is always welcoming, present and non-judgemental. Both parties feel heard and validated and supported.
Colin is very helpful and approachable. Conversation flows easily and he has been a great help.
Colin was always so supportive and provided calmness and great inside into our conversations. I was incredibly lucky to have him as my therapist. He understood the background to my situation and was therefore well prepared for our discussions. I was extremely pleased with the time I saw him which span over several years.
I found Colin to be professional, empathetic and open minded. He provided excellent clinical insights, and a specific plan of actions to take. Having worked through some challenges over a period of years, I found Colin to be very effective in his role, and would strongly recommend his services.
Both myself and my daughter see Colin. My daughter has an ASD diagnosis woth selective mutism and high sensory need, and parenting her as a single parent can be challenging. Colin gelps both us through this process and provides support.
A very effective therapist, balances support with challenge and always moves at the client's pace
Colin is an excellent clinician. He is able to connect genuinely and deliver compassionate, nonjudgmental care.
My last visit was with my wife for marital problems, she decided not to continue. I found it helpful.
Colin is a very warm and understanding person. He explains things in a very clear and easy to follow way. He brings clarity to thoughts and actions in a non-judgmental and helpful manner. Colin gave practical guidance and tools to navigate and improve my mental health during a very difficult time. After working with Colin I understand myself much better and I now know how to manage my own difficult emotions and can cope in healthier ways.
