I have been working with John over the past few months, initially to support a big career transition, and latterly to develop a greater sense of wellbeing between work and family life. John has been a wonderful guide on this journey, and his skill and empathy as a therapist have helped make this a transformational experience. I would not hesitate to recommend John to others in similar circumstances.

I have only worked with John for a few sessions. So far I have found him extremely helpful and knowledgable. With difficult topics I have found it easy to introduce them and discus with John, he puts me at ease. I look forward to going deeper with these discussions withJohn so that I can begin to let go of old wounds etc.

I’ve had a genuinely transformative experience working with John Pelan. He is not only highly experienced, but also brings a level of patience and empathy that is truly rare to find. What I appreciate most is his ability to understand and pinpoint exactly what I’m going through, even when I struggle to articulate it myself.
Unlike many therapists who passively listen or leave you feeling pressured to fill the silence, John actively engages in conversation. He creates a space that feels safe, open, and collaborative. His approach is thoughtful and conversational, helping me feel heard without judgment and guided without force.
If you’re looking for someone who truly listens and helps you navigate your thoughts and challenges with insight and clarity, I wholeheartedly recommend John Pelan.

John is an exceptional therapist who creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel truly heard and understood. He has a remarkable ability to pinpoint specific words or phrases I use, helping me reflect more deeply on my emotions and thought patterns.
