He is direct and professional. After working with several therapists in the past, this has been the first time I’ve felt truly engaged in the process. He doesn’t just listen passively, but challenges me when needed, always in a respectful and supportive way. He adapts his methods based on what’s most effective, and is consistently accessible and reliable.
Very happy!!

Nigel has been very helpful in helping me understand my situation. He has listened and offered some excellent view points. I have found myself, on several occasions, thinking "that's a really good point".

Written on Aug 27, 2024 after therapy with Nigel for 2 weeks on issues concerning addictions, and relationship issues
I only started therapy a few weeks ago, and having never done it before, felt nervous and anxious about opening up. Nigel has been absolutely brilliant. He encourages messages between video sessions and is responsive to those messages, so i feel there is always someone I can turn to. It is early days but I already feel that Nigel has helped me a huge amount at this stage

Nigel has been super helpful though my sessions with him. I was a little reluctant to have therapy, considering my experiences in the past, but Nigel has completely worked through all those quibbles - I'd have therapy again with him in a heartbeat
Written on Mar 04, 2024 after therapy with Nigel for 3 months on issues concerning depression, family conflicts, self esteem, and compassion fatigue
Nigel is a fantastic therapist with true passion showing through every interaction we have. He listens carefully to build understanding and supports me with very valuable insights both during our calls and in the chat. I am extremely glad I met Nigel at this very difficult time I am going through as he helped me to find grounding and reason in the moments when it felt like my life is falling apart.

I thought I couldn’t even dream of a therapist like him. But there he is. He’s the best.
Written on Nov 05, 2023 after therapy with Nigel for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, and adhd
Nigel is superb. He really, really listens a carefully, taking a notes that clearly show his attention to detail, his clinical expertise and his bespoke attention to each individual client. Perhaps most importantly (for me), he is challenging. He knew I needed to pressed on long-embedded, superficially comfortable habits and ritualised ways of thinking. It’s early days, but I am very happy.
Written on Nov 01, 2023 after therapy with Nigel for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue
Nigel has been fantastic throughout this entire process. He responds with long and thorough messages whenever I text him about a problem I have. He also checks in throughout the day and in the mornings without me having to text him first. Overall, Nigel has helped me a lot about understanding myself while always being responsive and respectful. I would highly recommend him.
