During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself dealing with personal issues that made my situation even more difficult. Not only was I coping with a recent divorce, but I was also living alone in a foreign country away from my family and friends. Initially I reached out to Dr Andy online. After lockdown we had sessions face-to-face.
Dr Andy's unique approach to counseling is extremely effective. He asked me thought-provoking questions and provided insightful answers that helped me see my situation from different perspectives. Throughout our sessions, I realised that my fears were unnecessary, and that I had the power to overcome them. Thanks to Dr. Andy's guidance, I was able to overcome my fear of loneliness, loss, and the unknown future. I had found myself in a relationship with someone I didn't know well after my divorce. Dr Andy provided me with the necessary guidance and support to help me with a relationship that was rife with sexual abuse, disrespect, and constant control and coercion from my boyfriend. His actions were hurtful and destructive, but I couldn't see how much harm I was doing to myself due to my low self-esteem and lack of self-respect. However, Dr. Andy was a guiding light that showed me the way out of the prison I had created for myself. Through his wisdom and guidance, I was able to free myself from the abusive relationship and its many torments. I quickly realised that this relationship was toxic and could have caused me more harm.

I went to see Dr Andy while I was having problems at school. I was getting bullied by other boys and I had no friends. Dr Andy listened to me without any kind of judgement, he got me thinking about things in different ways and helped me to feel good about myself. I was given the chance to improve my communiucation and social skills too. I feel a lot better now that the bullying has stopped. Thank you again.

I was feeling really depressed, a dark cloud hanging over me. I didn't know why and I struggled for a long time. Seeing Dr Andy was a really positive move for me. At our sessions I was able to explore different facets of myself. I learned how to be honest with myself. I learned how to come back from a dark place. I found how better it made me feel when I stopped comparing myself to others.
