  • Dangerous pseudo psychologist

    The guy gives advice to people on life changing matters with seemingly no relevant qualifications. He’s a complete chancer and dangerous. He has the potential to ruin people’s lives and is cavalier about it.

  • Excellent show

    This podcast and Love and Abuse have really helped me more than I can ever even put into words. I’m not one that wants to go to a therapist and talk and have someone ask, How does that make you feel? I know how I feel, I want somebody to help me sort it out and that is what his podcast do.

    You really saved me last year when I was at the lowest part of my life and I needed to sort my thoughts and I thank you for that
