Alistair was wonderful to work with. Responsive, engaged, and quickly worked through surface level triggers to target core issues and solutions. Highly recommend if you need emergency support or for longer term exploration.
I have been troubled by the way I get along with my relatives and the fear of insects for two years. Just a month ago, I found Alistair. He talked to me like a friend and gave me some new perspectives on the things that bothered me. I didn't expect that I really felt relieved. I felt that I understood why I was in such a bad mood. Although I didn't get better completely, it made me understand why I was like this. I am very grateful for his help, which allowed me to re-invest in my life and try to face various problems in life in a more positive way.
I can’t thank Wellspring Counselling enough for helping me through one of the most challenging periods of my life. Alistair’s unique approach to therapy combines empathy, deep insight, and practical strategies that truly resonate. He created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt heard and understood. I’ve grown so much as a person and finally feel at peace with parts of myself I used to struggle with. Highly recommend for anyone seeking meaningful, transformative therapy!
