Neil has really helped me to take a step back and look in detail about my issues without judgement. In the past I was wanting to make changes in my life before understanding exactly what was going on within myself but also in my environment and as a result id be taking one step forwards and 2 steps back. He is also good communicator and listener and has a good sense of humour.

Neil has a very different approach to what I understood as therapy. He's very open, listens and grabs the nuggets to work on. He's helping me observe and be conscious of myself.

I have nearly 30 years of experience bringing psychotherapeutic techniques combined with the ancient inner science of well-being derived from yogic lore. Together, it can bring a major shift with how you see and experience your life, work and the world you live in. I will use spontaneous guided meditations and breath work when needed, helping you to relax the mind and body allowing us to more easily explore together, helping you gain a new perspective and insight as you move forward in your life.
My background training includes physical therapy and yoga as a science and will add another dimension to further support you as you progress during the sessions.
How we hold our body, how we breathe, can support and nurture our mental and physical wellbeing.
I will invite and assist you so that you can learn how to clear subtle blockages in the body that may be an obstacle to your progress.
We will learn how to unwind together so that we can constructively explore thoughts and feelings, using them as a stepping stone to bring psychological and emotional balance and stability to whatever situation you find yourself in.
With humour and a zest for life, the process that I am offering will help you untangle your mind thus allowing clarity to come to the surface. I will help you to build your energies so that you are able to focus on what really matters to you.
My intention is to create an environment where we can relax, dissolve unhelpful mindsets while exploring what really works in enhancing your life. Our sessions will help build a firm platform within that will support you in the challenges that life will always present.

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. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Neil is an experienced therapist. Day by day he will help you understand your situations and how to take action to improve your life. I have seen progress in my own life.
Neil has been a professional, a kindness, and a comfort. I've benefited greatly from our sessions and I hope to continue our journey towards my improved mental wellbeing.
My closest family and friends have noticed a huge improvement in me and I am grateful for Neil for guiding me over the past year!
Incredible therapist and a real teacher. Neil helps me discover life as it is, and honestly, it is more beautiful than I could have imagined. There is not enough thanks I can give Neil for the freedom I have gained in such early days. The techniques used won't just solve the situation, but will change your overall well being and level of peace in life.
I consider Neil to be an experienced and flexible therapist. He's a great listener and conversationalist, and he helps me see things in new ways -- ways that are beneficial for me.
I have had four sessions so far with Neil and overall it has been a very positive experience. He explains his methods in a clear and concise way and I am enjoying the experience having contemplated therapy for a number of years. I would highly recommend him.
Neil was the driving force that helped me overcome a dark phase in my life and I am forever grateful. His therapy methods felt personalized, making me feel understood and supported. He was strict when necessary, but always polite and respectful, making our sessions productive and effective. His therapy was exactly what I needed and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of support and/or guidance. Thank you so much, Neil!
Neil has guided me through understanding myself and I feel better equipped now when dealing with life's challenges.
It’s an interesting experience doing therapy for the first time at 50 +. Neil is an excellent therapist and guide who doesn’t allow me to divert or excuse. He gently but firmly guides me through an awful lot of my history/ background/ experiences that I have spent a great deal of time and energy avoiding because they are painful and I was unable to cope with them. He has and still is helping and supporting me as I learn to feel properly and understand that I do not need to be in conflict with myself. I do highly recommend him and his approach.
Neil and I had a few sessions and I found him to be very thoughtful, kind, and engaging. I would definitely recommend setting up time with him!
He listens well and notices where people get stuck. Certainly helpful and kind!
Neil is a great listener. Very kind, warm and understanding. He really likes to take his time and go deep into things, making sure we understand what's going on instead of jumping to conclusions. We've only had a few sessions together but I'm very happy with him and very hopeful that I'll make lots of progress with him.
Neil has been the key in allowing me to work on how I process things and he has enabled me to work through difficult situations with the techniques and advice given during sessions. Thanks Neil :)
Neil has been an absolute god send. Having had a few sessions with Neil he has helped me considerably and always found him very good to work with. Thanks for all your help Neil.

Knowing I have someone who will listen to me without judging me is a great help and comfort to me .
Neil is extremely helpful and patient, I would definitely reccomend him!
