"You are not alone, I am here to help!"
It is what I do and who I am. I started in health, fitness, and well-being and moved into other fields until I found my calling in counselling and psychotherapy. Helping others to find their meaning and purpose in life, overcoming their challenges, whatever they may be. To discover the why and the how of who they are. To know what we can change, what to accept and have the wisdom to know the difference. More than the traditional psychology of what is wrong with us, but to flourish. I have been doing this in various forms for more than forty years.

Knowledge, Sydney gives practical insightful and helpful tactics and advice
Written on Sep 08, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, and sleeping disorders
Sydney is very knowledgable, considerate and funny. Every session I feel like I learn something new, whether it be a new skill or something new about myself. Sydney remembers previous sessions well and makes connections I often would not see. Would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking therapy

I want to express my deep gratitude for Sydney’s assistance. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by all the information provided, but after taking the time to read through everything and then discussing it with him, I realized just how invaluable his support has been. Sydney is truly a breath of fresh air, and I’m genuinely thankful for the opportunity to work with him.

I've been seeing Sydney for a while now, and I can honestly say he's exceptional. He's incredibly attentive and truly listens to you, no matter what you're going through. His awareness and understanding make you feel heard and supported. Despite the challenges, I've noticed significant improvement in myself, and I always look forward to our sessions. He's objective and precise in identifying what you need, which has been incredibly helpful in my journey. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled therapist.

What a kind empathetic therapist Sidney is. I feel as if he can see right into my soul. He never rushes me to finish our sessions but waits until I have my emotions under control before leaving me with words of comfort.

Sydney is very professional, respectful and knowledgeable.
I really liked his approach where he used illustrative ways of analysing experiences.
He always sent very useful material and was able to point out various personal development tools as this is an area I am keen on.
Sydney’s non-judgemental and approachable manner meant he created a space where I was comfortable to talk about difficult life experiences, which he helped me make sense of, and provided tools to support.
Written on Jun 09, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue
Syd is an empathetic person and a good listener. He’s master at creating a welcoming atmosphere for dialogue. His authenticity and life experience brings lively tone to our conversation. I also appreciate Syd’s sharings between our sessions, as well as some exercises for homework. Syd supported me on my path of coping with grief, reviving myself and re-imagining my self-identity.

Sydney has been a great resource for me. His calm demeanor and ability to understand and empathize is amazing. I always feel better after our scheduled sessions.
Written on May 22, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 8 months on issues concerning addictions, relationship issues, and coping with life changes
I feel I get on well with Syd's calm and knowledgeable manner. I enjoy our sessions and feel I am growing through them. The papers and back-up info sends between sessions are also informative and add depth to subjects we discuss.
Written on May 19, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 5 months on issues concerning anger management, coping with life changes, and coaching
I really appreciate Sydney Lewis’s help as a therapist over the last months.
I am amazed by his ability to switch between therapy methods and schools of thought - sometimes a few times in one session! Aside from mastering so many approaches, he also does coaching and business advice which I find incredibly versatile and knowledgeable. He has great empathy and his advice is very applicable. I genuinely found our sessions very useful, uplifting and inspiring. I don’t think there is a person he would not be able to help in some way or a problem he would not help address. Thank you very much again for all the support!
Written on May 16, 2024 after therapy with Sydney for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and trauma and abuse
I have never had long term sessions for therapy. Trying to understand who I am and how to change things that were hurtful was my goal. He was very good at reading who I am, even when I had no clue, and providing very positive support and so easy to talk to. He gives me ideas and guides to help me learn myself and how I can identify the things I want to change and methods to accomplish these changes. Great fit and Sydney is an excellent therapist.

Sydney has been fantastic for me. I was initially hesitant about therapy but Sydney has made me feel completely at ease and has explained things in a way that really speaks to me. I feel that my journey through therapy could not be with a better therapist and I feel very lucky and grateful that Sydney took me on as a patient.

Sydney Lewis is very good at helping you structure your thoughts and clearly articulate back to you what you are saying. this makes it so much easier to not only see your situation in an almost detached way but to also see potential solutions. I’d highly recommend him.
