Ms Tonya has both the personal and professional experience to understand and walk me through various life situations, in a manner that is both filled with grace and also helpful. She comprehends that not everything has to be crisis in order for it to be important and the intricate, philosophical questioning that can affect your life's contentment.
For those going through large life transitions, highly recommend!

Tonya has been an extremely supportive counselor and has helped me work through a really dark low point in my life over the past couple of months. I’m very grateful for the skills she has given me to help work through difficult times and to understand myself better. I always felt safe and comfortable talking to her and I trust her to be a great counselor to others who are in need. Thank you Tonya for everything!

Tonya's been supporting me for over a year now, and she's been helpful through every up and down. She's helped me gained a much better understanding of myself and how my experiences are shaping who I am today, and I feel much more serene when facing difficulties. I know I can turn to her whenever I need it, knowing she'll really listen to what I'm saying and take my concerns seriously. Thank you for being such a reliable guide on this journey, Tonya!

Tonya is an incredible counselor. She is empathetic, engaged, and has helped me grow on my mental health journey by leaps and bounds.

Tonya was the counsellor matched to me from the very start of my counselling 3 months ago and I am very grateful for having been so lucky. From the beginning, I have felt seen, heard, and held in a safe space. I have spoken to Tonya weekly for an hour and felt relieved and better each time. I just now looked through my very first message to Tonya again where I described how I felt and why I was seeking counselling. It is now (only) three months later and I feel miles ahead from that state of being. There are so many things I have learnt about myself, about coping with triggers and difficulties, about how to love myself, connect with myself, and quite importantly, how to break down issues and tasks alike into doable smaller heaps and steps. Things that appeared very vague and abstract in my mind, are now much more concrete, pragmatic, and manageable. The sense of feeling overwhelmed has drastically decreased. Thank you, Tonya, very much for your care and competence, for your ability to listen and pick up the right things which were most pressing. To all coming after me, I can warmly recommend Tonya as a counsellor.

Tonya made me feel that she cared about me as an individual and could see right through to the core of the problem in my situation. Moreover, she could see the seriousness and implications of it and made sure that I was also aware of the danger, emphasising the need to also access agencies where I live. I always felt treated with respect and she encouraged me to work things out by writing in the thread. I felt heard and supported.

I have only been working with Tonya for a couple of weeks, but I definitely appreciate her wisdom. The best thing about her is her timely manner in which she responds to texts even over the weekend! In this way she is there for me the very day I need her.

English is not my native language but even if it was I don't think I would have words that are good enough to describe how much I appreciate Tonya's help. She is kind, sympathetic and understanding. She recommends things but she doesn't make you feel that you should do anything if you're not comfortable with. Instead she explains things in way that makes you realize how you should work something out and then discuss it. Thank you so much Tonya!

Tonya has been incredibly capable of perceiving my situation in a way that makes it manifested clearly and safely at the same time. Her sole purpose is that I get to what I want safely and with complete awareness of my emotional, mental and physical state. She approaches with helpful material curated carefully. She would approach me just to check in at times when I have had it rough, and she responds back to my messages quickly. I 10/10 recommend her.

I have really enjoyed my sessions with Tonya. And even when we can’t meet online face to face, she is good about sharing helpful tips and tools that keep me moving forward. She is kind and caring, and easy to talk to. I would recommend her most definitely.

Very helpful and professional

Written on Jun 24, 2020 after therapy with Tonya for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and lgbt

Tonya is such a welcoming and friendly person. With never having had experience in therapy, it has so far been nice to speak to someone who isn't a loved one, and get professional advice on why I think certain ways, and different ways to break things down. I would recommend Tonya to anyone looking for talking therapy

Written on Jun 23, 2020 after therapy with Tonya for 3 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, career difficulties, and coping with life changes

Tonya has made me feel very safe and comfortable during our sessions. She always actively listened and made me feel like I mattered, which helped immensely. With her help, I was able to reach personal goals and make difficult changes in my behaviour, and I feel a lot more optimistic about my situation than I did before counceling.

So far I'm feeling confident that counseling is going to help me make some vital improvements to my life. Tonya has been supportive, understanding, and very quick to respond. Online therapy has made the lockdown feel bearable and I'm feeling far more positive about planning for the future beyond it.
