The support, advice and tools given to me by Oliver have been incredible and with no exaggeration life changing. Oliver has always been very welcoming and easy to speak to making me feel comfortable. However, it wasn't as easy at the start, but this was down to me and not him. Oliver is a credit to your team. I'll actually miss my Wednesday sessions with him. Thank you for such a brilliant service.
Oliver has been a fantastic psychologist and has helped change my life. Because of Oliver I feel happy again. Oliver listened to my needs and gave me the tools to deal with my issues. He was patient with me and helped me change behaviours that I have had for many years. Can't thank him enough.
