Steve has a lovely warm, empathetic, attentive manner about him that made me feel comfortable and safe enough to share things. I never felt rushed, dismissed or judged. Sessions felt like a collaboration, and I was treated with compassion and respect.

I have had the pleasure to have Steve assist me with some work on my inner landscape recently as part of my counselling qualification. As a team, Steve and I carefully tended to the sensitive areas that needed TLC and celebrated the areas in full bloom. The man clearly knows his onions from his parsnips. He struck me as well-informed, gentle, diverse, experienced, flexible, trusting and trust-worthy. I felt in expert hands.

Disappointing, went for a 75min session and he talked for approx. 60minutes of that. Walked out feeling like he just liked the sound of his own voice more than letting us get a word in. Never again!

Depression and anxiety have dragged me down nearly all my life, and I suffered with an eating disorder for many years. I was so fortunate to meet Steve, and soon felt very comfortable talking to him. He is caring and attentive and has a deep empathy for his clients. I enjoy talking to him as he sees things from such a clear and thoughtful point of view. Over time he has helped me to deal with my problems and move forward. Thanks so much Steve, I am very grateful.
