I was really impressed with the free counsellor match service and general customer service I received. The receptionist was very pleasant and found a time that worked for me, for a consultation.
The counsellor called me right on time and came across as very genuine and thoughtful. She was pleasant to talk to and it felt immediately like a safe place to open up. I feel like she was able to get all the information she was looking for without it feeling like I was being questioned and in the end matched me with a great counselor. I have been to a few sessions so far, I'm already feeling more balanced

I really appreciated that they provided an initial free consultation to get myself acquainted with their therapists and services. It removed a lot of the anxiety and resistance that I usually have in booking an appointment. Danielle is a fantastic therapist who talks honestly and without judgement. She is always genuinely supportive in the progress I have made.
