Recent reviews

I've had a number of different therapists over the last five years and I've never experienced better results and education, than I have with Bruce. He is calm, composed, and engaged. He helps me explore my thoughts; questions me and asks to expand on certain things I'll say during a conversation; and will often give his opinion where and when appropriate, all of which have allowed me to delve a deeper and gain a better understanding of my thought patterns, ultimately giving me greater ability to rationalise and control my emotions in a more positive and healthier way.

Bruce asks me smart questions, points out what I can't see about myself, and in the time I have seen him, I have grown tremendously. If I ever need therapy again, I will definitely look to him first.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Bruce is great at listening & also has really good advice. He’s made me internalise my problems and action them each week. Really look forward to each session :)

His approach has helped me clear my head in so many ways. He's helped me see things from perspectives I had never once considered before, and in doing so he's helped me greatly in moving on from past traumas and things that were eating me up from the inside. No matter who you are or what issues you deal with he's respectful, calm, and from my experience asks the questions that need to be asked. I feel like the dark clouds have gone away, and it's time for the sun to come out.

A great listener. Very patient and non-judge mental. Very subtly suggestive about things I could consider trying for example, new challenges, new mindsets, different behaviors, coping mechanisms. We have a good report and the weekly sessions are something I look forward to.

I thank him a lot for challenging me. I was looking at myself in a very negative and destructive way. I was not healthy mind wise. I am getting there now. Thanks to him and me

Bruce is a great listener and a phenomenal therapist. He really listens to you and analyses your thoughts with you. He challenges your thought constructively which I found to be very enlightening. He’s also very kind, polite, and insightful, he has a way of helping you help you instead of just “helping you” if that makes sense. I highly recommend him!!

Bruce was a sympathetic, patient, and attentive therapist in the sessions I spent with him. He was able to intelligently and succinctly address the frustrations I felt in my life, and offered insightful new perspective that helped equip me to address them. I'd recommend him to anyone else considering talk therapy.
