What people say
Reflections from clients and colleagues
“I’ve known Mike since 2023 on the Counselling Diploma. Having transitioned from education into counselling, Mike combines strong interpersonal skills with a natural ability to listen, understand and support others.”
“Our son has worked both 1 to 1 and in a group setting with Mike over the past year… An increase in confidence has been noted in school, at home and by family. He puts into practice techniques learned with Mike day to day.”
“I just wanted to thank you for all those times when I was feeling down. You really have made a difference in my life.”
“The workshop created a safe space where parents could share their experiences without judgement and gave us tools to navigate changes at home.”
