I am truly thankful for the support John has given me throughout my anxiety journey. His compassion, honesty, and ability to listen without judgement make him an exceptional therapist.

John is phenomenal with what he does! I am so thankful for the service and support, to say the least! Initially, I have personally found it hard to approach therapy because finding the "right" therapist (per say) that would best serve my needs is a prevalent reality.

I highly recommend this company and John's excellent service. I had sessions with John for a a couple of months, and I feel I have gained a lot of skills and progress in handling the issues I asked him to help me with.

Q&As
What I love about offering counselling is being able to enrich peoples lives by being able to listen and provide an insight that perhaps they may not have realised. Mind Life can help you by providing options you thought were beyond your reach.
As a service professional for over 30 years it is my DNA to serve people and via therapy I am achieving this in my ultimate level.
Clients should choose me as I can offer the ultimate value as a therapist. I give my clients something to take away each session, starting from the first. I offer a platform to help my clients understand themselves by giving insights to how our minds and bodies work so we can make better sense of our thinking and determine solutions to our problems. My therapy style is adaptive and can serve people who are struggling with anxiety, phobias, depression, as well as grief and addiction. In addition I provide services that benefit men's health, and focus in male specific issues including depression, anxiety and addiction.
All of my sessions are conducted remotely via zoom (Google Meet) or phone call. This offers my clients the convenience of being at a place they are comfortable with. I also provide services after hours during week nights and weekends.
