Mr Winch is professional, extremely intelligent, and incredibly caring. I was a patient of his a couple of years ago for a short time and due to financial stress I had to discontinue therapy. I recently signed up again and Mr Winch remembered me! He went out of his way to message me to welcome me back to therapy. I have been in therapy off and on for 30 years and I’ve seen many different therapists. I never felt so cared about before. I highly recommend Mr Winch.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Chad is insightful and knowledgeable. He helped me to feel seen, heard and understood. He challenged me to see other perspectives and helped me to identify some underlying issues. Highly recommend him as a therapist!

Chad is patient, understanding and listens to me. Being heard for the first time in my life is a huge help in getting my mental health back to where I need it to be. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experiences with Chad so far- he’s wonderful.
Wonderful therapist, really appreciate his expertise and kind approach.
Chad was very helpful and understanding. Very easy to work with.
Chad listens and uses his years of experience to help find answers to difficult questions. This experience has helped me open my eyes to the benefits of therapy and I would encourage others who are dealing with issues to seek help from Chad or other therapists
Chad has been an incredible support to me, working through many issues that I wasn’t even sure how to explain. He gave me so many pointers to Help me pivot towards a happy and healthy life. I felt extremely comfortable and Chad is very understanding and wise. 5 Stars for sure.
Chad was the best therapist I’ve ever had. Genuinely, he cared about everything we talked about and made me feel heard. Gave me so many helpful tips that I have implemented into my life and will continue to. Highly recommend him!! 5 stars for sure :)
I couldn't be happier with the experience of working with Chad. He is a compassionate and understanding professional who truly listens and provides insightful guidance. He creates a safe and non-judgmental environment that allows me to feel comfortable opening up and working through my challenges. I have noticed a significant improvement in my mental health and overall well-being since starting therapy with Chad. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a therapist.
Before I joined therapy I often hesitated because I thought they were going to challenge absolutely everything you believe and turn you into a selfish self servin person. I couldn’t of been more wrong. Chad was patient with me and willing to talk about uncomfortable subjects with no judgement. He is very good at pointing out small areas in our thinking that distress us more then we realize and bringing us relief. He knows that life is often grey and that no one person holds all the answers so it was very opposite to what I thought therapy was going to be. But Chad was very helpful, a great listener and he was willing to put himself in your shoes.
My experience with Chad was lovely. Very understanding of my goals and struggles and I left each sessions feeling like I had more tools to help me with every day life. Highly recommend.
He is helpful and understanding. The insights and tips he provides are practical and beneficial.
Chad understands what I need out of a therapy session that is, to clear my "cache". He pays great attention to what I write and offers his thoughts and/or findings when I'm done. He catches on quickly to any quirks or patterns I show and goes with the flow. I've had a couple of eureka moments in the short time we've been interacting and I'm grateful for that
Very helpful and understanding
