Reviews

Working with Charlie as my therapist has been an absolute miracle and he has really gone above and beyond for me during my year seeing him on a weekly basis. If you have an addiction or a compulsion that affecting your life I highly recommend you see Charlie - as he will help you change your life just in the way he helped me change mine. I didn't think I could be helped or even needed to be helped however, Charlie made me see firstly I had a problem and secondly he knew exactly what to do to help me address it. I am currently 1 and a half years clean and sober of my addiction and I couldn't be happier.

R&K

I’ve had such a great personal learning experience. I have really learned to put myself first and acknowledge the importance of my feelings. Through my counselling sessions with Charlie I have grown so much and have been able to express myself more than ever before. social analysis, equality treatment, diversification."
