I feel like a transformed person- the best version of myself and she encouraged me to become that so I will forever be grateful.

“We reached out to Karen for help with sleep issues, listening, and regular meltdowns. She took the time to understand our situation and created a plan tailored to our family. We’ve seen a dramatic improvement while our child’s core personality remains the same. Karen supported us every step of the way – highly recommend!”

“I recently underwent an assessment for ADHD. Jack was very informative and empathetic making the experience a positive and reassuring one. I’m glad I took the step to get a diagnosis and I am especially glad I chose Jack to be my psychologist through the process. I highly recommend.”

“I fully endorse Andrew as a top rate councilor .To be fair as an old school ,blue collar worker ,probably a little skeptical about opening up to others in relation to personal matters, Andrew was personable, considerate ,and caring enough ,to be able to instill trust not only in myself but my wife in order for us to gain a better understanding of our natures. We have left now to hopefully carry on communicating in a far less confrontational manner ,to our mutual benefit best regards Glen”

“Went there for ages when I lived closer but now am older and now find it easier to go closer but will never forget the help I got from them”

“They do their best, if you're kind of lost like I often am at times someone is usually there or a person in the group that's been there a while usually helps remind me where to go or meet, you also have flexibility like meet in certain place if you're uncomfortable in a crowded van”

“I recently completed several months of counseling sessions at the Canterbury Men's Centre, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact it has had on my life. My counselor, Barry, was an exceptional guide throughout this journey. His approach was a perfect balance of challenging me when necessary while also validating and empathising with my emotions and experiences. Barry’s insights and support taught me invaluable life lessons, particularly around establishing and maintaining boundaries. These lessons have been transformative, helping me navigate my relationships, work-life balance, and interactions with others more effectively. Barry's empathetic nature made me feel understood and respected, and his ability to gently push me out of my comfort zone was exactly what I needed to grow. The environment at Canterbury Men's Centre is welcoming and supportive, making it a safe space for personal development. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking growth and support through counseling. Thank you, Barry, and the entire team at Canterbury Men's Centre for the profound positive changes you've helped me achieve.”

“Lee is fantastic. He's helped me work through some things over the past couple of years, and is always warm and open. Plus the pets are a bonus.”
