"You are not alone, I am here to help!"
It is what I do and who I am. I started in health, fitness, and well-being and moved into other fields until I found my calling in counselling and psychotherapy. Helping others to find their meaning and purpose in life, overcoming their challenges, whatever they may be. To discover the why and the how of who they are. To know what we can change, what to accept and have the wisdom to know the difference. More than the traditional psychology of what is wrong with us, but to flourish. I have been doing this in various forms for more than forty years.

I have never had long term sessions for therapy. Trying to understand who I am and how to change things that were hurtful was my goal. He was very good at reading who I am, even when I had no clue, and providing very positive support and so easy to talk to. He gives me ideas and guides to help me learn myself and how I can identify the things I want to change and methods to accomplish these changes. Great fit and Sydney is an excellent therapist.
