Edward is extremely professional and thoughtful. He has wonderful personality and immense knowledge in his field.

Written on Apr 12, 2022 after therapy with Edward for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, addictions, relationship issues, and family conflicts
So far I have been impressed, I have had a very negative view of mental health and medical professionals do to past experience but Edward in the short time I've been working with him has shown patience, compassion and understanding and what I can only assume is at least a small degree of mind reading while navigating what I'm trying to say or what might help. I've spoken highly of him to friends and my parents and have 100% recommended this platform to them.

I have never had professional mental counselling/therapy before. Ed made each therapy session very warm and welcoming. I received more help than the problem I originally brought with me. I learned that my entire life experience is relevant to my healing and I feel more than 100% myself. Now, I can go back into the real world and be my best and authentic self - being there for my family, friends, coworkers, neighbours, etc. I enjoy being alive so much! Thank you Ed! I can't thank you enough for your professional yet relaxed/laidback style of therapy experience!
