Very relaxed, easy to chat to, took a detailed history of my concerns. Did two psychological sessions which addressed my concerns, did two ear acupuncture sessions which really helped my anxiety and depression. Very happy with the treatment I received. I'm free to go back to David whenever I feel I might want to address other outstanding family issues in the future.
