I know that there are times when what we are confronted with in life can be overwhelming and difficult to manage. You may have intrusive, negative thoughts, general feelings of unworthiness and not feeling good enough, feelings of despair and depression, trauma or other deep-rooted issues that are impacting your life. I believe we have the innate power to transform our lives and change what is not working to heal, expand and grow. It can be tough reaching out and seeking that help so often we desperately need, you have taken that step, the work begins now. I am passionate about helping people work through whatever issues are preventing them from living a meaningful and purposeful life.
I aim to provide a safe, welcoming space to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I have a person-centred approach integrating somewhat of a solution-focused attitude to therapy. Although given my training was in an integrative style of therapy, I can incorporate other styles of counselling into my work when appropriate and necessary.
I can understand and know from personal experience that its not always easy to speak to someone you do not know about very sensitive, deeply personal issues that are impacting your life. It can be really difficult to acknowledge that you need help and that something is not working. I want to reassure you now that I am strictly impartial and hold a space that has no judgement whatsoever. Things can be tough, really tough and often all we need is a gentle nudge in the right direction.
You have the resources necessary to overcome any obstacles on your path, you deserve a life that is full of joy and abundance. Do you have the courage to make that call and make a difference in your life right now. I look forward to work with you given the opportunity.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Neil is the best therapist I ever had. He helped me get to the roots of the problems and establish new effective and healthy habits. He is understanding, respectful and very helpful. My mental condition improved a lot and some serious problems were uncovered after working with Neils.
Neil has been great. Accessible , open, grounded , but not afraid to challenge.
I have only had 2 sessions and Neil has already helped me hugely. He really makes sense and uses great analogies to make a point.
Neil Porter has helped me a great deal. He really understands me. He tries hard to go deep and find the route of my issue and gives me practices. I couldn't ask for anyone better
Neil has been very helpful and was very quick to pinpoint the issues I was having in my personal life and what was needed to overcome them, while acknowledging that it is a long process and not something that can just happen overnight,
Insightful video and chat sessions that have greatly helped me to get a grasp on what's going on in my life and to find myself again.
I had a very precise problem in which he couldn't provide help, however, he was very honest about it and advise me to seek a therapist who expertise in the area I have trouble with. Thank you :)
Neil is very understanding and empathetic with me. He's done a lot to help me see things in a new light.
