I understand that life can be difficult - we all face struggles which can be overwhelming and difficult to manage. You may be battling with your self esteem, having difficulty with past traumas, feelings of anxiety or depression or fighting other issues which are negatively impacting your life. It doesn’t have to be that way- I believe we have the power within us to heal and grow, to become the master of our feelings and emotions, even in rocky waters. The great thing is, you have made the first step and are looking for help. I am passionate about helping people through their issues and empowering them to live more enriching lives.
I will do everything I can to make you feel at ease, warm and comfortable; sessions can be, online live video, online live telephone or online live chat. Many people come to me feeling let down or failed by previous therapy experiences. I have an integrative approach to therapy and have experience working with multiple issues. I cater my practice to your needs whatever they maybe.
I understand that it's not easy to talk to someone you don't know about very personal problems. Life at times, can be a real struggle and sometimes all we need is a gentle nudge in the right direction. Please get in touch. I wish you all the very best on your life journey!
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Neil has been great. Accessible , open, grounded , but not afraid to challenge.
I have only had 2 sessions and Neil has already helped me hugely. He really makes sense and uses great analogies to make a point.
Neil Porter has helped me a great deal. He really understands me. He tries hard to go deep and find the route of my issue and gives me practices. I couldn't ask for anyone better
Neil has been very helpful and was very quick to pinpoint the issues I was having in my personal life and what was needed to overcome them, while acknowledging that it is a long process and not something that can just happen overnight,
Insightful video and chat sessions that have greatly helped me to get a grasp on what's going on in my life and to find myself again.
I had a very precise problem in which he couldn't provide help, however, he was very honest about it and advise me to seek a therapist who expertise in the area I have trouble with. Thank you :)
Neil is very understanding and empathetic with me. He's done a lot to help me see things in a new light.
