Hal has been a tremendous help and support for me over the past year or so. His friendly, calm, empathetic, and honest approach has helped me navigate several challenges that life has thrown up – many of which stem from being a neurodivergent adult, with neurodivergent children. Whether it’s the tools and techniques he provides, the impressive wealth of knowledge and experience he draws from, or at times just his humour, I have benefited a lot from my regular sessions with Hal. Thanks to Hal, I now also understand a lot more about myself, and how my mind, and more broadly the human brain works, something which has been very valuable for me. He has also provided me with a bunch of tools, techniques and insights that help me better deal with life’s challenges and critically, enhance my relationships with the people closest to me. I would very much recommend Hal as an empathetic, effective and highly experienced counsellor, which in my experience are not things that are always guaranteed when finding the right therapist. Thanks Hal!

I worked with Hal over an extended period and he significantly improved my quality of life. His kind, gentle and knowledgeable approach really suited me.    He helped me work through my anxiety so that I understood how my mind worked and could cope better with life's challenges.

Hal is an excellent therapist and I would recommend him to anyone. I have worked with him off and on for over 5 years on a range of issues and he has helped me navigate some tough situations with empathy, understanding and (where appropriate) humour.

I have worked with Hal over a period of a few months following an intense period of anxiety and depression I went through. Hal is a very open-minded and compassionate listener but was also able to effectively challenge my thinking, ideas, and attitudes in a helpful way. The therapy I’ve received gave me a different perspective and equipped me with techniques to deal with difficult feelings if they arise in the future. We also worked on my misophonia where I felt I made substantial progress after a few sessions.

Hal has a calm, grounded presence that made it easy to explore things I’d avoided for years. I felt properly heard and understood and that was transformative

I have had treatment for anger, addiction and ADHD on and off over the last 20 years. I can openly and honestly say that for the first time, Hal was able to understand me and my problem at its core, then explain and articulate it to me in a way which made complete sense and was a lightbulb moment for me! The following sessions were a breath of fresh air helping me with amazing tools and techniques to tackle my anger and look at things in a completely new light. I highly recommend Hal.

I made more progress with Hal in weeks than I had elsewhere in years. Highly effective and supportive.

Hal has been an important part of my therapy journey. From day one he has always been very understanding and thoughtful in his approach to therapy letting me lead and open up at my own pace. At the same time, he provided structure in our sessions and taught me concrete and valuable techniques to handle OCD and general anxiety. I feel truly lucky to have received the help I needed from him and I hope all his future clients can gain the same confidence in managing their own struggles that I did from attending sessions with him.

What stood out most was Hal’s rare ability to help me see the bigger picture. He connected patterns I’d never noticed and patiently and kindly helped me understand the ‘why’ behind my reactions. Life changing.

From the very first session, I felt safe, heard, and genuinely supported. Hal’s mix of empathy and expertise allowed me to tackle things I have been carrying for years.

Hal didn’t just listen — he understood. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again. Our sessions helped me reconnect with parts of me I thought I’d lost. I’m so grateful for his kindness and patience.

I highly recommend Hal as a therapist. I was able to overcome challenges that I never thought I could overcome with Hal's help.

Hal marries uncommon emotional acuity with practical suggestions. Hal got to the heart of the issue quickly, giving me the tools to understand my thoughts and empowered me to take positive action to make my life better.

Hal’s support has enabled me to manage my anxiety much more effectively and I would highly recommend him as a therapist.
