Spencer has helped me to no end his approach to my therapy has been 5 stars and so tailored to my needs - what I like about Spencer is he understands that ‘not one size fits all’ and he is so good and really knowing what I need before I wanted to admit it myself. This guy is hands down the best therapist I have ever ever ever had! I still book a weekly session with Spencer because I find it so valuable. Sometimes I feel like I’m just chatting away then when reflect on it I get the realisation that deep down Spencer is guiding the conversation to help me realise things that I can do and how I can solve a situation myself. When I think back to where o started to where I am now I feel like I am learning so much about what it means to be me! So grateful thank you Spencer.

Spencer is the best therapist that I have worked with, no question. He is always encouraging me to look at things from a different perspective without ever telling me what to do. His life experience and down to earth nature really sets him apart. I look forward to our sessions every week and am really grateful to him for his support and kindness. Thank you Spencer!

Spencer is a phenomenal therapist that knows the world is NOT black and white. He understands the challenges that life brings and makes a concerted effort to work with you on facing them. Next to his professional knowledge and acumen, he brings inspiring life experience that makes him more genuine and is definitely something I am looking in a therapist.

He is a great guy with lots of experience as both a psychologist & with explaining his life experiences of his ups & downs & explaining to you what he went through. He is a good honest guy who talks nicely to you.
