First time really doing therapy. I have had a great connection with my therapist R. Williams.
Going into this I didn’t know what to expect but my therapist was great to walk me though and make me feel comfortable. After our sessions, my therapist sends me follow up support and which I have used with me and my family (husband and 2 boys). I feel fully supported and only had a couple sessions so far. I didn’t feel like he wanted to just have a call and get me off the phone.
He has definitely made me feel like he cares

This being my first time having a therapist it has been great with Richard, He listens, he lets me rant and rave about my problems and actually shows that he cares. I have a lot of issues that I feel I can only bring to him because he actual gives me a way to actually think through what I'm going through so that if it happens to me and I don't see him I'm able to work through it on my own. I'm extremely happy with who they linked me with.
