Client Stories
Thank you, clients!
I believe that at the heart of counselling, therapy or coaching, is a process of exploring oneself and exposing oneself in the presence of another.
I've always learnt something about myself and 'moved' forward when working with my clients.
We co-created all the sessions and they are truly connected.
Thank you for all your honest and open communication - being genuine.
Thank you, clients!
Jane, Amsterdam Apr 2023 --- I already had some sessions with Antony when he started counselling a few years ago, and we addressed my long-standing confidence issues that affected various aspects of my life, including relationships, friendships, career and personal development. The journey was incredible and amazing. Through exploring my childhood and personal growth, I gained new insights about myself and my life goals. In our recent sessions, we further discussed the stress and issues currently affecting me, and Antony has helped me see things from a new perspective. He empowered me to recognize my own strengths and to use them to resolve conflicts in my life. I was inspired by his approach in helping clients discovering their inner resources to overcome life's challenges. I am immensely grateful and appreciative that Antony encouraged me to continue exploring myself and seeking balance in my life. Thank you very much, Antony!
Alice, Amsterdam 2022 --- I was given plenty of time and attention to share my feeling and life events. Antony was a good listener, empathetic and giving good and caring feedback. I trusted him and was willing to share my problems and emotions with him. I felt we walked through the sessions together. Antony has provided a good structure and framework to guide me through the sessions. We have set clear goals and reviewed progress to reach the result. The perspective he gave me is useful and insightful. The sessions have helped me to see my challenges from different perspectives about relationship and life. This was my first coaching experience and the results were positive. We were both very happy to see how far I have progressed in the journey.
Lawrence, Utrecht 2022 --- Antony is very professional and client-oriented. He kept calm when I felt emotional. At times I found it confronting and vulnerable as I needed to reflect my dark side. Some of the questions were really difficult for me to answer. He has never judged my past and I felt safe and being heard. Together we have set some achievable goals which I found them very helpful and motivating.
Joyce, Delft 2022 --- This was my second trajectory with Antony. He has introduced me to the concept of childhood attachment styles and how they are potentially impacting my relationship with others. Very insightful and reflective sessions.
HL, Hong Kong, 2022 --- Antony was a highly emphatic listener. He often serves as a mirror to help me reflect on my perspectives and self-limiting beliefs. He spent time and asked good questions to make sense of my upbringing and the development of my values. It was a psychologically safe environment to discuss my in-depth issues and concerns. I appreciate it as it is particularly challenging to create such as space in the virtual/online context.
D.S. London, 2022 --- I didn't quite know what to expect from the sessions but I knew I was in need of counseling and I was open minded to what the process would be and to the counsellor’s style, personality, ethics and way of working. I was pleased when meeng Antony and learning that he was in my own age category as I prefer a counsellor with as much life experience as myself. Antony helped me professionally as it turned out so I was very pleased and I felt a lot happier and safer in the space with him because of his life experience. I felt safe in space and trusted the process and his support and eagerness to work with. To me the most important thing was to discuss certain key issues in my life and to have the opportunity to share the questions I had, with not only a professional, but a man around my own age who was sensitive enough and ready to listen. We discussed all of the topics I brought to the sessions and the result was that I certainly gained more clarity by discussing them with him. I really very much enjoyed his respectful, polite and friendly manner throughout.
G, Japan 2021 --- Antony used a client-led approach when shaping the flows of the sessions. He patiently listened to me and gave feedback in a non-judgmental manner. The sessions very effective and productive. Antony has helped me to explore the root causes and drilled deep into my situations. Antony and I lived in different countries and he had a commendable understanding on my cultural background which made the sessions very smooth and impactful. Antony was a great counsellor. I enjoyed the sessions and found them really useful.
Kathy W, Rotterdam 2021 --- Antony is an excellent coach. He helped me to face my anxiety issues and I can manage my anxiety a lot better with his help. Antony is warm, client-centered and non-judgmental. He provided me with an environment that I feel safe to share my thought and feelings. He is very knowledgeable and insightful. I cannot thank Antony enough for helping me to deal with my anxiety issues. I recommend Antony to anyone who is looking for a coach.
R.H. Netherlands 2022 --- Antony has a very professional approach. With his good introduction I knew what to expect from him and the sessions. His professional approach throughout the course of our meetings gave me a great trust in our coach-client relationship. I never feel worry about confidentiality for instance. For me the coaching process was really helpful. Most importantly it has helped me to become aware of a lot of things about my life, my personality, how things in the past/childhood can have had an influence on issues I am experiencing now. The sessions also gave very practical guidelines I could use in order to handle these issues. I am also still using 10 minute meditations and that's really helpful and gives rest in my head after busy days or when I am worried. I also really appreciated the care of the coach for me when we talked about preventing burn out. I am really happy and content about how the sessions went and the coach is very professional and empathetic and knowledgeable. I would for sure recommend him to others.
S, Rotterdam 2022 --- The sessions were very useful to me. Antony has helped me through my grieving process of a loss of a significant relationship. With the safe space I was able to explore the various emotions that have surfaced at various stages of the grieving process. Through a family constellation exercise Antony has helped me to understand myself better regarding my insecurity and anxiety in relationships. This has been eye-opening to me.
Jenny, Amsterdam 2021 --- Antony, thank you very much for your time and effort. I did enjoy each of our sessions and got to know a lot about myself. You are very good at listening and the way you speak really calm me down. The coaching sessions have built my confidence. I was amazed that I did have all the answers I need and the sessions have helped me to think very thoroughly about what I want to do in the future. What we achieved helps me greatly to be happy and relaxed to move on to the right track.
