T.H – Deception Bay, QLD

My husband and I recently did a few counselling sessions with William. I have never been to counselling previously and found Williams approach very empathetic whilst holding us to account. We felt very comfortable with William which made the process so much easier to manoeuvre through as it is not always easy to express yourself to a stranger. Would highly recommend William for any counselling.
