“I've worked with several therapists over the past 25 years and I feel like I've made more progress with Joe in just a few months than in all of my sessions with other therapists combined. I'd never tried EMDR therapy before, and I found it really helpful to reframe the past and move forward with a different perspective. I feel really proud of what Joe has helped me to accomplish, and more feel equipped to tackle hard things with less anxiety”. BK, July 2022
“My experience here has been nothing but warm and welcoming. It’s a space where you feel heard and most importantly feel comfortable in each session”. MA, June 2022
“After moving to a new country and facing a language barrier, I was feeling anxious about finding a counsellor that would understand my needs and that I would be comfortable working with. However I'm delighted I came across Castelo Counselling as I've had a great experience with them to date. Joe is very welcoming, friendly and easy to talk to. I've found our sessions to be hugely beneficial and they've had a very positive impact on my life. I would highly recommend Castelo Counselling”. OM May, 2022
“I've known more than a few psychologists in my life, and sadly many of them are still using antiquated methodologies that have no scientific backing. That's why I choose to work with Joe, he uses a variety of approaches (such as ACT and EMDR) that are backed by psychological research. On a more personal note, I've found Joe to be very empathetic and thoughtful, and this helped me to share some very intimate issues”. MZ, July 2022
“Silvia was a true life saver. She was incredibly patient and non-judgemental about my thoughts, helping me navigate through the trauma, the fears and help me truly understand what I wanted.”
