I can’t thank Duncan enough for this truly life altering experience

I worked with Duncan for around 2 years and found the experience life changing and immensely healing. I had found myself in a dark and lonely place and closed to the idea of therapy through fear, but Duncan offered a space of kindness, empathy and non-judgement and allowed me to work through this at a pace that felt comfortable and without any pressure. This healing process was long and difficult at times yet I was always made to feel heard and began to enjoy my sessions which were varied in approach. I can’t thank Duncan enough for this truly life altering experience.

Working with Duncan has been genuinely life changing

Working with Duncan has been genuinely life changing. His empathy and warmth create a safe, non-judgmental space where I have felt truly heard and understood. He has a remarkable ability to guide conversations in a way that helps me uncover what’s really been holding me back, without ever feeling pressured or rushed.

Your support and understanding have been a game changer for me.

I wanted to express my immense gratitude for the incredible journey we've had over the past few years. Your support and understanding have been a game changer for me. Thanks for helping me navigate the ups and downs and for being a steady anchor during my stormy times. Your insights and gentle nudges have given me a better understanding of myself and the world around me.

Duncan is a very kind and trustworthy individual

I had a combination of online and in person sessions and felt that both were equally as effective. Duncan is a very kind and trustworthy individual, and through our sessions of spoken therapy it felt easy and comfortable to be able to share with him. For the first time in my life, I have learnt to validate myself and now have the tools to make myself feel safe as a queer person navigating their twenties.

I am so incredibly indebted to his kindness and passion as a therapist

Duncan is one of those special therapists who manages to immediately create a safe and welcoming space from which to work in. I have never felt so cared for as I did with Duncan. If you are looking for someone to help you through whatever it is you’re dealing with, you could find no better therapist, and indeed person, to help you with that than Duncan.

Highly recommend Duncan; professional and personable

Highly recommend Duncan; professional and personable, I worked with him for over a year through a difficult period. I was always very impressed by how much Duncan recalled from previous sessions and the way in which he could guide me to the root of the issue at hand. Additional note: I recommend him for gay/queer individuals who are seeking a safe, judgement free space.

Both he and the way he works have had such a profoundly positive effect on my life.

Both he and the way he works have had such a profoundly positive effect on my life. Through our sessions of spoken therapy, his patience, attentiveness, care, support, and skill as a therapist have put me back on the right track in a way no other therapist ever has. He has given me back the power to understand my voice counts for something, that I am important and that who I am matters.

It is no understatement to say that working with Duncan was the best money I have ever spent.

I worked with Duncan for two years after suffering depression during my mid-20s. His patient and intelligent approach helped me fundamentally reevaluate my life, creating the space for true happiness and fulfilment. It is no understatement to say that working with Duncan was the best money I have ever spent.

I'm very grateful to him for the sensitive, kind support he gives me.

I've been having counselling sessions with Duncan for a few months now both online and in person. I can recommend him with both methods. He's completely trustworthy. He really listens to me and works to a deep level. I'm very grateful to him for the sensitive, kind support he gives me.
