"When I have been listened to and heard,
I am able to see my world in a new way
and to go on."

— Carl Rogers

What people say — about what our work meant.

I feel very fortunate to have worked with Ian. I've seen other therapists in the past, but none helped me understand myself in the way he did. Through his support I've recognised my patterns more clearly. He helped me see how I could make changes, supported me in doing so, and also recognise what I needed to accept.

I thank Ian so much for the work we did together. I often walked away calmer, clearer and energised. He is a gift!

For the first time in my life I'm learning how to talk about my feelings. I was taught it's not what men do… It's not all plain sailing but I feel happier and my relationships with my partner, family and friends all feel warmer and closer. It's like the difference between an old black and white portable tv and a 4K Ultra-HD one!

I needed support for such a long time but didn't want to admit it. Drop by drop by drop, with Ian's support, I've learned how to hold my boundaries and am now much better at that.

Ian changed my life. I was angry and frightened when I went to see him. Ian quickly saw that. I was lost and he gave me a map. I can find it difficult to open up but with him it was different. I always found Ian completely non-judgemental. He understands men, especially violent men, their trauma, their shadow and their spirituality.

I feel I'm able to articulate myself much more clearly now… It's like the different parts of me are all in the same room having a conversation and not confused and scattered all over the place.

Working with Ian has been excellent. I feel much happier and have a much better sense of how to live my life.

Life changing! At times it's not been easy but the changes have been much greater than I could have imagined.

Working with Ian has been excellent… It was very very good to have someone to talk to about what was happening in my life and to feel you could understand and support me emotionally.

I've gained so much through my sessions with Ian. I'm much clearer about my feelings, how to say what I need and when to say, 'No'… He let me work at a pace that was right for me.

Ian helped so much to guide me to a place and a path that I now feel comfortable to follow.

I've had some really important insights. Working with Ian has been really helpful. It's made me stop and think and see my life in a different way.

I've gained peace of mind; with myself and with my life.

Ian helped me to find my own voice. I am much clearer about what's important to me and the choices I need to make.

One of the best things was that Ian listened to what I had to say without judging or fixing. To have a safe space where I could talk and say what I needed to say has been so important for me.
