Deon is a very relatable person I feel at ease chatting to him and learning things about myself along the way I can honestly say I am really enjoying my therapy he is knowledgeable and understanding. Amazing

Deon has really helped me come to terms with my identity and helped me learn to love and embrace it instead of shutting it down. He is kind, insightful, and just a lovely person to talk to.

Deon is a great professional! I owe him a lot! After a short period of time I was already able to reflect better, distance myself from my worries & negative thoughts, and setting boundaries. Súper helpful!
