Rod was a great support during a particularly trying time, when I faced a professional crisis that I found especially emotionally overwhelming. He was able to bring his experience with workplace difficulties to our conversations and apply it in our counselling sessions to help me grapple with the crisis I was facing, and our conversations became very important in helping me cope and bear through that period, for which I am very appreciative.

I've only had a few message interactions with Roderic so far but he is very responsive and offers considered and appropriate responses that have made me reconsider some of my thoughts and behaviours. I look forward to working with Roderic more in the future.

I've had several sessions with Rod now and find him to be extremely considerate and respectful, while offering a lot of resources and knowing what to say to help me get the most out of the time we have together. Having discussed the fringe details of my experience with a friend who has had a lot of therapy, her immediate response was "oh, so he's good good then", which backed up my own thoughts. I have no other experience to compare it to, but I would have no issue recommending Rod to anyone.
