The Therapy Place Counselling Nanaimo

Ron was very easy going. My husband and I found that he provided a warm safe place for sharing. We will be going back again. Thank you so much.

I would not hesitate in the least to recommend Ron. He has a very easy and personable nature that instantly makes you feel safe, comfortable and heard. Ron is genuinely interested in helping you work through your problem and shows amazing insight into hidden aspects of yourself. He has helped me immensely overcome my issues, get unstuck and move on with my life. Without fail I leave our sessions feeling accepted, understood and empowered. I have complete confidence in Ron's ability to help anyone find their way to a more fulfilling life.

I feel like I have gotten more out of two sessions with Ron than I did in over a year with my previous counselor. He is well educated and intelligent and seems to have a great understanding of the way the human mind works.

I am so thankful that I took the step out of my comfort zone to contact the wonderful people at the therapy place. I have never felt so accepted and treated so kindly. Each and every person I have encountered has goes out of their way to help answer my questions and concerns. I currently have been seeing Allie and she is absolutely delightful. I have never felt so accepted and heard in my life. I feel deeply cared for and felt like I have build a relationship where I feel safe and there is trust! Speaking with Allie makes me feel comfortable and confident as she always takes the extra mile to make sure I feel emotionally validated. I truly believe that all of the wonderful people here at the therapy place are treasures of humans and I cannot wait until my next session.

Ron has established a professional, trustworthy counselling clinic. His space is beautiful. His counsellors are skilled, empathetic, and ethical. As a fellow clinic owner I can attest that this is one fine place to go for therapy.

5 stars from me. They care. They really do. I have gone there for missing screws on my motocross knee braces and they have helped me out every single time to get me going for the next race. They are professional and respectful. They will go above and beyond to help ya. I will definitely be buying my next knee braces with them!

I cannot express enough how much Ron helped me when I was going through some rough times. I had tried a few sessions with other people in the past, but I felt like they all asked me the same textbook questions and gave the same textbook answers to my responses. Ron was was different in the sense that I felt like he actually considered my situation on a personal basis. Ron did a great job of not only giving constructive feedback on how to deal with certain issues, but also communicating that although he can guide clients to help them make changes, some things are up to the client to deal with if they want to truly change themselves for the better. Overall, I really appreciated how Ron provided a comfortable and suitable setting where I felt like I could truly talk about what I was struggling with, and develop strategies and skills to apply in my life to make lasting changes for the better.

Seeing Andrew Bertram has helped me learn to navigate life in a more emotionally integrated and authentic way.

Ron has a easy way about him & is able to convey that to his clients. I have benefited from his open & honest approach to unlocking issues. He readily provides follow up resources that relate to the current session. I am delighted to have ebooks &/or website links to read at my leisure.Ron has absolutely helped me understand how I interact in a troubled relationship. This has helped me move forward (although not without bumps on the path) to understand my responsibility and boundaries.I would not hesitate to recommend Ron if you are searching for assistance on your path.

I am beyond grateful for Ron! I wasn't sure what to expect at first and went into my first session very apprehensive, but Ron in his kindness and gentleness (and humour!) immediately made me feel at ease. Ron is compassionate, non-judgmental, down-to-earth and genuinely cares. I have had many positives come from my work with Ron over a few short months... I look forward to the many more positives that will undoubtedly come from working with Ron. I would highly recommend Ron to anyone!
