Demire is great at making me feel heard, and helping to focus on tangible actions towards changing my perspective on situations.

Reviewed August 2024

I've worked in mental health for 15 years as a doctor: I thought Demire might be intimidated, but I don't get that sense at all. I feel like there's always something to learn, like there's more guidance available as soon as I am ready for it. It's been a great experience!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.

Honestly, what I appreciate about Demire, is the simple fact he doesn’t necessarily give me the healthier perspective or solution just yet. He allows me to think and figure things out, and then add his insight so I can keep and maintain the connection

Reviewed June 2024

Demire is great. It is hard getting me to come out of my shell- but I find Demire very easy to talk to. I'm looking forward to my next session.

Reviewed January 2024

From the first session, Demire identified key areas I wanted to work through and set a very clear timetable on what we would be doing. He was great at building rapport, and was incredibly insightful every step of the way. I really appreciate all the work we did together and feel it's been a great success, I couldn't have hoped for anyone better.

Mr Demire helped me massively in just 3 sessions. He's patient, asks questions that make you think, and really focuses on the problems you're having. It's a pity that I can't continue my sessions with him, however due to work commitments I have to stop for a while. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their mental health.

I don’t know if I can truly express how much working with Demire has meant to me. Talking to him has helped me develop ways of dealing with life in ways I never thought I could. I’m much more present in the moment (not 100%, but more). He’s great 11/10.

Reviewed May 2021

Demire is an excellent therapist who helps me achieve my goals in a ways that are feasible and effective. He has helped me get through a difficult time in my life and he is currently helping me with other areas of my life that I had found challenging due to some core beliefs. ACT has been an effective approach for me; it provides an insightful way of framing suffering such that I am able to live my life without having to feel that I need to combat my thoughts first.

Reviewed December 2020

I worked with Demire during a time where I was struggling dealing with the pandemic and all of the stress that came along with it. Demire is a great listener, a great encourager, but also very prepared to introduce a new way of seeing and interpreting situations, if necessary. He inspired me to ask myself necessary questions, challenge myself, and to give myself room for error and time to heal. We also laughed a lot. He is easy to talk to and I always felt better after a session. You won't regret working with him!

Reviewed December 2020

My therapist consistently holds me accountable, and is eternally optimistic no matter what’s going on in the greater world external to my own therapeutic process. My therapist is super smart; he has to be to keep up with me, and so far, I’ve never ended a session without a new perspective, skill, tool, strategy, and feeling hopeful about the week that’s ended, and the one ahead of our next session. Good times, mostly. Even if it is - therapy - and it’s good for yah.

I’ve been working with Demire for about a year and a half. He has greatly helped me in my goals and self-work, and has been an amazing ally along the way. He listens and responds with great insights. He is compassionate, thoughtful, and intelligent. It’s almost like talking to a good friend, rather than a therapist. I’ve been happier than I’ve ever been, thanks in no small part to the progress I’ve made with him. Can’t say enough good things about him!

Reviewed July 2020

Excellent therapist so far, he is very supportive, open and insightful.

Reviewed April 2020

Demire is an insightful, empathetic, and intuitive counselor. I became comfortable with having therapy with him in a fairly short time. The secret to that success was taking the time early on to prioritize my long and short term goals, and to lay the early ground work needed to manage my expectations. Demire was able to help me set personal and professional boundaries, communicate my needs and wants more clearly, and address challenging stigma I felt about taking medication. Demire has a gifted sense of timing I can only surmise, that comes from instinct and experience. He is excellent at “holding space” during times I felt most fragile, by saying either very little, or just enough to encourage me to communicate more. A very competent and able counselor, I was lucky to have found him available to work with.
