Roy has been a very big help to me. He has been teaching me coping techniques and has helped me identify things in my life that are actually going well when I'm feeling like nothing is working out

In my relatively short time with Roy I have made good progress with my goals, and I find his guidance appropriate, helpful and well targeted.
I was very hesitant about therapy at the outset, but Roy has made it not simply therapeutic, but a pleasure too.
I hope this is helpful.

Even in the very few sessions that I have had Roy has made me feel heard, seen and understood. He’s allowed me to fully express and not judged me at all. I’m really looking forward to my forward to continuing my journey in self care
