“I worked with Brendan for a year, and from the very first session he was incredibly welcoming and supportive. He tailored our work in a way that helped me genuinely explore my emotional experience of the world, rather than just talk around it.

One of the most meaningful aspects of our work together was the option for outdoor therapy. Being in nature allowed Brendan to draw on thoughtful metaphors and analogies that often helped me see things more clearly and understand what was really going on for me.

When I first came to him, I was in a state of burnout. Over time, he guided me toward making subtle but important changes that helped me build a more manageable and fulfilling life. He also supported me through coming to terms with, and eventually accepting, an official autism diagnosis.

Unlike previous therapists who focused heavily on what was “wrong,” Brendan took a solution-focused approach and actively nurtured my strengths. That shift alone made a huge difference”

“Brendan was really excellent - I felt listened to, understood and really validated in my feelings for the first time and I got some really useful insights into my feelings, and thoughts through the process of sharing”

“‘’I have always said you can talk to anyone about things but talking to a counsellor about your issues is different.

Brendan is a great example.

Why?

because he listens and understands. This is my first time talking with a male counsellor about things and with Brendan’s help over sessions i will definitely be continuing therapy” ”

“I found Brendan to be an eager and inquisitive listener who actively applied his knowledge and personal experience to empathise with the challenges I was trying to address. I appreciated his fresh perspective on my situation. He has helped me see my situation through different lenses, and I now have a map for where to go next as I continue to progress. Thank you, Brendan!”
