I’m very pleased that Vish was recommended to me. I had one Zoom consultation with him and, despite being slightly nervous and with a speech impediment affected by feelings of pressure, he pretty much immediately put me at ease. He was extremely professional, empathic, engaging, appropriately curious, reassuring and constructive.
