pay each session only if you feel it was of value
can check ratings here on Google Reviews
The following are comments from my clients (additional to Google Reviews) - some of them have been made directly to me, and some through service providers I have contracted to. While I regularly do receive positive comments, and have helped people find peace with many challenges, there is no perfect counsellor and one counsellor cannot possibly suit all clients. If you choose to work with me, please feel free to mention if there is something you feel could be done differently. I aim to provide value in every situation.
