An absolute pleasure to have such a therapist! As a young person, he really listens and understands and tries to better adapt the conversation to family specific circumstances. In the very few sessions I have had so far, Brendan has really helped calm down a lot of my worries and given me unimaginable strengths. Many thanks to Better help for shining the light on such amazing hero’s!

I’m so appreciative to have Brendan by my side on my mental heathy journey. His very human approach has been tremendously helpful, and I’m feeling the benefits of his contribution even just after a couple of sessions. I recommend wholeheartedly Brendan as a therapist.

Since starting I have felt heard and understood, I have also felt lucky that I have paired with a therapist who can relate to me also, this makes our sessions resonate and I also feel afterward that I have something to integrate and apply. I didnt know what to expect when signing up, all I knew was I needed some help, I'm already feeling so much more at ease with myself and feeling confident about the future.
