I had some uncertainty meeting with Stephen for the first time as I've always found it challenging to connect with other men. Stephen created a comfortable space where I could be vulnerable, transparent and most importantly... myself. Grateful 🙏 Evalyn BraybrookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen is incredibly easy to talk to. Difficult topics feel safe to broach with him. He’s a very calming presence and secretly has a wicked sense of humour. Couldn’t recommend him more! Eric OosenbrugTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've known Stephen a couple years now and I'm happy to share his openness, candor, and lighthearted approach makes him exceptionally easy to talk with, even regarding serious stuff.

Michael MarslandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although I’m not a client of Stephen’s, I’ve known him for several years through improv classes, and what’s always stood out to me is how genuinely he listens and understands people. He has a grounded, thoughtful way of approaching conversations, and he brings just the right amount of humour to make even heavier topics feel manageable. The insight, kindness, friendship, and support he’s offered over the years has meant a lot to me, and I have no doubt he brings that same care to his counselling practice. Astin BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen has helped me honour myself and to not disregard my own needs. He actually listens and doesn’t force advice on you - like many therapists do. Instead he is like a guide to help you unravel the issues in your life. I feel safe and heard with him. Sebastien PisterziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Stephen for several months, and it's been a transformative experience. His approach is grounded, compassionate, and insightful and he creates a space that feels safe, judgment-free, and empowering. What stands out is also his work with men’s groups. He has a unique ability to foster genuine connection, vulnerability, and accountability among men—something that’s often hard to find. Stephen is not just a professional—he genuinely cares, and it shows.
