I am deeply grateful for Murray's support and coaching when I face situations that require change, but don't know how to help myself move forward. He creates a safe compassionate space where I can talk honestly without fear of judgement, and he is empathic and makes me feel that he sincerely cares about my well being. He honours my goals, and structures our time together to reflect my concerns and priorities. I have benefited greatly from his wise and patient guidance.
