Where Basil works
OnlineReviews
Basil was kind, patient, and easy to connect with in just a few sessions. He was able to provide good insight, ask good follow up questions, and put my anxious mind at ease. The was my first time using counselling and did not know what to expect, but Basil made this experience a positive one. He made me feel validated, heard, and provided reassurance when needed.
Basil is a great listener. He provides opportunity to self-reflect, while also providing insight with practical solutions when appropriate. Would highly recommend Basil's services!
Basil knows his stuff and has been able to get me to look at things differently and reflect on my choices and coping mechanisms. He has been instrumental in getting through all of this tough history and baggage that I carry with me. His insights are helpful and his counselling manner is very personable and honest. Thank you for all of your help!
