When depression turned my life upside down, Ken was my anchor. In a time of chaos, he was steady,, patient and endlessly insightful. He didn’t just stick to a script—he adapted, challenged me when I needed it, and gave me space when I didn’t.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr. Ken Palmer and the incredible support he has provided to my daughter and our family. At a time when she was struggling deeply with anxiety, depression, and self-harming, Ken offered not only expert psychotherapy and coaching but also genuine compassion, care, and unwavering encouragement.

From the very first session, Ken made my daughter feel heard, understood, and safe. His calm and empathetic approach helped her open up in ways I never thought possible, and his guidance gave her the tools and confidence she needed to move forward.

Ken isn’t just a therapist—he’s the kind of person who changes how I think about therapy. What makes him different is his rare ability to truly connect. He doesn’t just listen; he makes you feel understood in a way that’s hard to describe. There’s no rigid rulebook with Ken—just genuine, flexible support that puts you at ease. I’ve worked with other therapists before, but none of them made therapy feel like this. With Ken, sessions weren’t something I dreaded—they became moments I actually looked forward to. Even when talking about difficult things, I never felt judged, only safe.

But what really stays with me is how deeply Ken cares. He’s generous with his time, his wisdom, and his kindness in a way that goes far beyond a job. He’s been more than a therapist—he’s been a guide, an ally, and at times, the only person who made me feel like progress was possible.
