My clients have said…

“As a relative newcomer to the world of therapy, I felt a little apprehensive and anxious when first reaching out for support. 

Working with Jander dispelled all of those fears however and working with him over the past 22 months or so has made a huge difference to my life. He is an excellent listener and creates a welcoming space where I feel open to sharing sometimes difficult issues. 

His insightful observations have enabled me to make real progress and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking to start therapy.”

“I reluctantly started my therapy session just shy of three years ago, when I felt I was at crossroads of sorts in my life. 

I was approaching the big 40, felt that I was stagnating in my career and was imminently about to become a father. I wanted to be prepared for the arrival of my child and put my best foot forwards so to speak. 

I wasn't sure I wanted to see a therapist. I spoke to a few life/career coaches but very quickly realized that I didn't need quick fixes and " development plans", what I needed was to understand myself and my inner world better and for that I needed help. 

I feel very fortunate that I started this process with Jander, who has continued to support me on this fantastic journey of self discovery for the past three years and we continue to go deeper. To do therapy right, I think it takes a kind, considerate and compassionate person with certain  intellectual and emotional intelligence, deep skills, personal insights, curiosity and courage. 

For me, Jander has brought all that and more to the table for the past three years. I would highly recommend talking to Jander.”
