I think therapy for me is like a puzzle, sometimes I can’t figure something out and then I talk to Paul and it’s like he sheds light on my issue and then I see my issue for what it is. Paul is very accommodating to his clients. Try Paul, his flexible schedule allowed me time to schedule an appointment at a later hour.

I have only had a few sessions with Paul and already it’s made a difference. I have enjoyed the challenge of working on myself with him asking attentive questions to push me in the right direction. He seems to truly listen and doesn’t entertain my rambling tangents , particularly if he has a certain point he wants to discuss.
He is my second therapist on this platform and I’m so glad I made the change

Paul is very patient, listens and offers great advice. It is difficult to find a therapist that understands LGBTQ+ issues and provide appropriate and genuine support and advice and tools to work with. Definitely recommend!

Paul is fantastic. Therapy feels low-pressure, but also goal-oriented in a way I haven’t experienced before. He’s a fantastic listener, and also helps me turn my random thoughts into goals and actions — with plenty of room for changing course when something doesn’t work. Would absolutely recommend him!!

I’ve only been speaking to Paul for a couple of weeks but I’m really starting to feel comfortable telling him things. He is supportive and totally non judgemental.

Paul is very friendly and attentive. I feel at ease chatting to him about myself and I feel no judgement or pressure. His responses are prompt and insightful and I’ve found I look forward to our weekly sessions. A great therapist for those who are just starting out!

Paul is an active listener who knows how to engage and draw you into conversation. Paul helped me realize new things about myself and made some very helpful insights.

I struggled with finding a suitable therapist for a while when first using this platform. I was looking for a therapist who makes me feel at ease, who I can share almost everything without fearing being judged. I am glad I was finally matched with one who checks almost all the boxes.

Paul has great insights and is always willing to try something new or pivot if something isn't working or not what you want to pursue. He does a great job at listening to your needs, and supporting you through the journey that you choose.

Paul is Respectful, understanding and makes you feel at ease very quickly. Having had Therapy in the past it can sometimes be daunting, Paul helps you put that aside in a short time. Paul gives great home work that assists in assessing some of our actions. Paul is also great at checking in and utilises this app to its best ability.
Honestly Paul Farley is a 10 out of 10 and I’ve felt fully supported with the work we have done in such a short time.

Super understanding and a lovely guy. I feel really comfortable sharing things that I wouldn't normally share this casually. He's not only nice and open, but also very professional and respectful :) Hell, he even laughs at my terrible jokes! This is awesome! (yeah no, but seriously - would absolutely recommend him)

Paul is a wonderful therapist. He is kind, non-judgemental and really listens. I felt comfortable opening up to him from the very first session. His support was a lifeline as he helped me heal from and put into context childhood memories that were holding me back. I would highly recommend him as a therapist.
