Had my first therapy session with PJ recently and I look forward to continuing sessions with him. He has a very calming, empathetic manner and I instantly felt comfortable talking with him. I was a bit nervous and not sure what to expect with my first therapy session, however I feel happy to continue with them as he put my mind at ease!
