Ian has been a great counsel and wise in helping me in my journey of better understanding and bettering myself. He does so through huge amounts of empathy and is able to guide on the truest ways of personal healing and betterment, not short term instant gratification fixes. He has made such a difference to my ability to manage my mental health and inner mindfulness that I cannot thank him enough for.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Ian is a pleasure to work with.
Ian Saunders is very professional and I am very thankful to have him as my therapist.
I highly recommend you contact Ian if you are struggling with any type of addiction or addictive behaviour. His impact has been remarkable, on a subject I have struggled with for over 10 years, and which I have tried to deal with through meditation, spiritual practices, and with other therapists already.
Compassionate and very thorough. Ian has been very patient with me. I’ve been enjoying sessions with him for the last few months! And honestly I don’t think I can find a better therapist than him.
Ian has been very supportive and offers tools to use to help with my issues
Ian is the perfect blend of compassion and challenging beliefs! He is a fantastic listener and makes me feel incredibly comfortable in sharing my experiences and emotions. I’ve made so much progress in my life that I wouldn’t have been able to do without him. Thank you Ian!
