"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.

Sydney has been helping me for a few months now . Initially I was sceptical about therapy. However, I now regret not reaching out a long time ago. After a long career in the military and emergency services combined with the day to day problems we all experience in life I didn’t appreciate how many unresolved and unprocessed issues I needed to talk about.
Syd made me feel comfortable with the process of therapy, something I had dismissed for many years. From past trauma to family and relationship concerns Syd has helped me. I’m no longer ashamed to say that I was in a bad place and Syd has helped me to navigate back to my old self . He has given me so many tools to use in the future and I’ll always be grateful for his help and support. His knowledge , professionalism, experience and friendliness has made my experience such a positive one. Thank you.

Working with Sydney has been life changing . I was looking for support with making changes after an ADHD diagnosis, but the knowledge of myself that I have gained has been so much more than I had expected it to be. Sydney is extremely intuitive and knowledgeable, I am yet to have found a problem that he hasn't met with kindness, insight and research based information. I feel like I could not have been matched with a better therapist, not only because of his huge wealth of experience and knowledge, but because he has never failed to make me feel safe, validated and understood. He always comes across as both professional and genuinely compassionate and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Sydney instantly understood me and within the first 10 minutes of our first ever session, I was making progress. It’s remarkable really. In the sessions since we’ve uncovered lots of important discoveries that have really made a big difference to my day to day life.

What a kind empathetic therapist Sidney is. I feel as if he can see right into my soul. He never rushes me to finish our sessions but waits until I have my emotions under control before leaving me with words of comfort.
Written on Jul 20, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, and bipolar disorder
Sydney is very professional, respectful and knowledgeable.
I really liked his approach where he used illustrative ways of analysing experiences.
He always sent very useful material and was able to point out various personal development tools as this is an area I am keen on.
Sydney’s non-judgemental and approachable manner meant he created a space where I was comfortable to talk about difficult life experiences, which he helped me make sense of, and provided tools to support.

Syd is an empathetic person and a good listener. He’s master at creating a welcoming atmosphere for dialogue. His authenticity and life experience brings lively tone to our conversation. I also appreciate Syd’s sharings between our sessions, as well as some exercises for homework. Syd supported me on my path of coping with grief, reviving myself and re-imagining my self-identity.

Written on May 19, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 5 months on issues concerning anger management, coping with life changes, and coaching
I really appreciate Sydney Lewis’s help as a therapist over the last months.
I am amazed by his ability to switch between therapy methods and schools of thought - sometimes a few times in one session! Aside from mastering so many approaches, he also does coaching and business advice which I find incredibly versatile and knowledgeable. He has great empathy and his advice is very applicable. I genuinely found our sessions very useful, uplifting and inspiring. I don’t think there is a person he would not be able to help in some way or a problem he would not help address. Thank you very much again for all the support!
Written on May 16, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse
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.

Sydney Lewis is very good at helping you structure your thoughts and clearly articulate back to you what you are saying. this makes it so much easier to not only see your situation in an almost detached way but to also see potential solutions. I’d highly recommend him.
