I have been seeing Dr Del for many years, on and off when I need support (10years this year) and I can confidently say that his support has been life-changing. Through different phases of my life—navigating a demanding university degree, processing underlying childhood traumas, dealing with grief, enduring toxic workplaces, healing to become a better mother, overcoming difficult breakups, moving continents, and changing jobs—his guidance has been invaluable. What sets Del apart is his ability to provide not just emotional support but also practical, actionable coping mechanisms. These aren’t just quick fixes; they are lifelong tools that I have implemented in every sphere of my life, helping me build resilience and a deeper understanding of myself. His approach is compassionate yet structured, ensuring that I always leave our sessions with clear insights and strategies to move forward. I am incredibly grateful for his expertise, patience, and unwavering support. If you are looking for a psychologist who truly listens, understands, and empowers you with the skills to navigate life’s challenges, I wholeheartedly recommend him. It’s a potty Google only lets us rate using a maximum of 5stars, cause Del deserves so much more.
