    We had a really good experience with Sir John. We felt comfortable talking openly, even about difficult things. he listened to both of us without judging and stayed neutral.. We’re still working through things, but atleast now we have a goal to work on rather than feeling lost on how to start to the road of healing. We’re really glad we decided to give counseling a try and would definitely recommend Sir John.

    John was nice and not judgemental at all. He was patient and listened to what we have to say. I can also see that he prepared for our session because he read the short summary of our situation and gave us tips/guide that he thinks could help us move forward. He was able to give us a path to what we can do for our relationship. It’s nice to hear unbiased opinion and that none of us were villanized for our actions. The session gave us a different outlook on our relationship and we felt good after.
