It was nice to talk to someone with a different perspective from my own. It helps that they have experience in addiction.

Kaaron Janner
Therapist
Mike was amazing.
Helped me to work through alot of my issues and helped me to recognise I needed more intensive psychological help for underlying issues I had stored away to deal with at a later date.
Would recommend Mike 100%.
He never judged, never made me feel like crap and talked to me like I mattered.
Was exactly what I needed.
