I'm often asked to recommend a counsellor for young people and Rafael is top of my list. He has a way of connecting with people and is kind, warm and insightful. He isn't afraid of taking on whatever difficulties or challenges a client may be experiencing.
I have known Rafael for a number of years - he always works with purpose and integrity and shows great compassion in service to his clients. I would recommend him without hesitation.
When I first met Rafael I immediately felt at ease - his calm nature and understanding manner make him very easy to talk to. His knowledge of counselling and psychotherapy is vast and as a colleague he is a great support to me and the work I do.
“From the first moment I spoke to Rafael, I could tell he just 'got it' - he understood exactly what I was feeling, and what I needed - someone who would challenge my ways of thinking, guide me, direct me, and help me change very deeply held damaging behaviours and beliefs stretching back to...”

“Working with Rafael has genuinely changed my life. He's supported me through some of the hardest, darkest, and most chaotic moments I've ever faced. His patience, kindness, and professionalism have been constant even when I wasn't at my best. He's given me structure, motivation, guidance, and...”

“Today, I'm sober, grounded, confident, and genuinely excited to wake up every morning and live my life. That's something I never thought I'd say. Rafael's helped me reconnect with who I really am to care for myself, to love myself, and to build a future I'm proud of. He doesn't just do his job he...”
“Forever grateful to Rafael! When psychotherapy was first recommended to me, I was sceptical. Even as a mental health professional, a large part of me resisted being vulnerable in therapy and exposing myself, after a series of traumatic life events. I didn't want to accept I needed help and even...”
