John Paul Leabres, RGC

he listens and you know he heard you even the things that you didnt thought of mentioning. gives clear action steps

After the session, I feel more confident and grateful to have taken the first step.

John was warm and clearly made an effort to understand our dynamic. We appreciated his patience and the safe space he tried to create. A few things worth flagging for future sessions: Environment: The background noise was distracting. A quiet, private setting would make a real difference. Communication style: John has a thorough approach, but tends to repeat points a few times. This cost us time and momentum. A more concise, direct style would serve the sessions better. Facilitation: Both partners in our session also fell into repetition at times — we’d welcome a therapist who actively helps break those loops and keeps the conversation moving forward. We’d also appreciate a more direct approach when one partner is clearly not hearing the other, rather than staying in neutral territory. Overall a decent first session and we’re open to continuing, ideally with the above in mind.
