Welcome to my page.
My name is Garon, and I want to thank you for taking this courageous step to seek support.
It takes great strength to acknowledge your struggle and even more strength to seek help.
Many people face challenges with their mental health and emotional well-being, and reaching out for counselling isn’t a sign of weakness but a powerful act of self-care.
I specialize as a counsellor in areas of anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and addictions.
I have a 16-year background working within the addictions, homelessness, and housing sectors.
I have been a practising counsellor for 8 years, working with incredible and inspiring individuals both in the U.K. and internationally through online sessions.
In addition to counselling, I also offer walk-talk therapy, Reiki healing, and mindfulness practices.
Like many, I have faced my struggles throughout my life, including addiction, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, and depression.
During times when I felt deeply alone, it was through embracing my vulnerability that I began to experience personal growth.
These transformative experiences ultimately guided me to pursue a career as a professional counsellor, where I now support others on their journeys of healing and self-discovery.
I understand the fear of reaching out for support and the courage it can take to speak to someone who truly understands. When life feels overwhelming and there seems to be no way out, it's common to experience feelings of guilt, embarrassment, and shame about seeking help.
Please know that you're not alone in these feelings, and reaching out for support is a brave and important step towards healing.
I will collaborate with you to identify the tools and strategies to help you build resilience, increase self-awareness, and foster personal growth.

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.

Garon has helped me through a lot in the past few months and though I may not have needed weekly sessions recently he's always been on hand to answer any questions and is always available for a session
Garon has been really helped my with my anxiety and self-confidence, as well as some relationship issues. He has also been very flexible in terms on my communication preferences and also provided lots of helpful material to help me work through my thoughts outside of sessions. Overall, I had a very positive experience over the 3 weeks of working with him. Would recommend :)
