Testimonials
“Thank you very much for the great work Joe did with me during a very difficult time”
“I found Joe to be an excellent therapist, he showed great understanding, patience and empathy when listening to the areas of help that I needed. He provided a good variety of therapies, some excellent coping techniques and put me on a structured programme to overcome some of the issues I was facing. Over the time we worked with each other I believe we developed a good rapport and I really felt I could trust him enough to be honest with myself and Joe throughout our therapy sessions”
“I just wanted to extend my thanks for the work that Dr Joe has been doing with my son over the last few months - still a work in progress but I believe he has made and continues to make good progress, learning key techniques to help him with his EUPD and substance misuse.”
