“I have been seeing Demire for a few months. It has felt so wonderful to connect with someone that is "just" about therapy. He is encouraging, works and reflects with me, and I feel as though I'm not speaking to a therapist. He has been excellent at meeting me in my immediate self and helping me progress on the path I am working towards. I would recommend him to the folks that want to blend traditional therapy and the woo woo, spiritual, religious, etc. ways some therapists shy away from in session. Demire encourages and collaborates with me, not to give solutions, to offer opportunities for my full self to participate. This is the first therapist I haven't felt like I have to hide from. I explore all my pieces freely and candidly. I found who I needed exactly when I needed. I'm eternally thankful for it.”

“Williams respects me as the narrator of my experiences. He trusts I know what's happening in my own life. Honestly as a black Trans person it makes a huge difference”

“Demire has been a great help with what I've been dealing with. He's very to the point which I really appreciated. But he's also not pushy so he's a great balance”

“Demire has been absolutely amazing to work with and has helped me tremendously with managing my emotions and my reaction to them.”

“Demire is fantastic! I enjoy a truthful, honest reaction and response.. along with accolades. I am definitely receiving it with Demire”

“Mr.Demire has been a wonderful therapist to me . I would highly recommend him . He kept me accountable and helped me see things about myself in a different ,more approachable light and I am thankful . ”

“Very calm, understanding, and great navigator, I honestly believe in his expertise and has helped me a lot with noticing my issues and actually tackling them. I also feel like what I am learning has helped me in a way beyond just therapy itself and has allowed me to work on myself and has allowed me to tackle these issued by myself. Would 100% recommend Demire anf his guidance has greatly improved my outlook in life.”

“Demire is great at making me feel heard, and helping to focus on tangible actions towards changing my perspective on situations.”

“I've worked in mental health for 15 years as a doctor: I thought Demire might be intimidated, but I don't get that sense at all. I feel like there's always something to learn, like there's more guidance available as soon as I am ready for it. It's been a great experience!”

“Honestly, what I appreciate about Demire, is the simple fact he doesn’t necessarily give me the healthier perspective or solution just yet. He allows me to think and figure things out, and then add his insight so I can keep and maintain the connection”

“Demire is great. It is hard getting me to come out of my shell- but I find Demire very easy to talk to. I'm looking forward to my next session.”

“Mr Demire helped me massively in just 3 sessions. He's patient, asks questions that make you think, and really focuses on the problems you're having. It's a pity that I can't continue my sessions with him, however due to work commitments I have to stop for a while. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their mental health.”

“I don’t know if I can truly express how much working with Demire has meant to me. Talking to him has helped me develop ways of dealing with life in ways I never thought I could. I’m much more present in the moment (not 100%, but more). He’s great 11/10. ”

“Demire is an excellent therapist who helps me achieve my goals in a ways that are feasible and effective. He has helped me get through a difficult time in my life and he is currently helping me with other areas of my life that I had found challenging due to some core beliefs. ACT has been an effective approach for me; it provides an insightful way of framing suffering such that I am able to live my life without having to feel that I need to combat my thoughts first.”

“Demire is a supportive and non-judgemental counsellor. His easy manner and expertise have helped me see, work with, and explore complex issues in a supportive environment, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.”
