Scarborough Beach Counselling & Psychology

I have been going through an awful time these last month’s coping with a major bereavement and I am so honoured to have been referred to Ron. He is a very kind hearted and understanding man and has made me feel completely at ease and allows me to work through things at my own pace in a very safe and secure environment.
I like the fact that my thoughts and feelings are heard in a judgmental free area. I really feel a connection with Ron and I feel he is a benefit to my life and has shown me new coping skills and a different insight to help cope with my issues.
I know I have a ways to go but I would certainly recommend Ron without hesitation to anyone looking for a warm, friendly, empathetic and excellent counsellor. I will always be thankful for his professional help and understanding. I needed help and I am getting it and noticing an immense difference in my life thanks to him.
Thankyou Ron

I have been seeing Ron for more than 5 years. He is the only therapist I have ever connected with. He has a gentle way of allowing me to work through my issues, with his guidance, at my own pace, which I very much appreciate. Ron is genuine, reassuring, helpful and, at times, funny.
I feel safe talking to him and would recommend Ron if you are looking for a very patient therapist who will care about your reason for seeing him.

Having attended regular therapy with Ron for 6 months so far, I can thoroughly recommend his approach. His general attitude feels very safe and caring but he will still make me question my assumptions. I have gained a lot of insights from each of our sessions and have felt that each one has been beneficial. Looking forward to continuing this journey. Thanks Ron.

I started seeing Ron about a year ago and it's has honestly been one of the best decisions I've made. I feel he listens, understands and most importantly cares about me and my personal life. With each new session I have discovered new perspectives that help me to understand myself. If anyone is looking to book their first appointment, Ron is the man to go with.

I have been seeing Ron for over 6 years now and he has helped me through a lot of ups and downs - work stress, generalised anxiety and most recently becoming a first time mum. I have never felt more listened to and understood, and it is most definitely a welcoming and safe space for me to vent my feelings and most importantly to understand why I feel the the emotions that I feel in certain situations. I have grown as a person and could not be more grateful for finding Ron. He commands a calm and safe space that I feel happy and relaxed in speaking about my issues. I look forward to more growth over the years. I know that seeking therapy can be daunting and you definitely have to find the right person - I am grateful Ron is that person for me. Thank you Ron from the bottom of my heart

Ron has held a safe space that i have needed this year. I feel heard and understood. Very grateful that i have found Ron who will continue to be present when moving forward.

The space at Scarborough Beach Counselling is a welcoming and calm place. It is a nook on a hill that continues to provide and give to all.

Helped me through some anger issues which has made me able to enjoy life more. I would highly recommend. Very easy to talk to.

I highly recommend Ron for anyone seeking mental health support through life squiggles. He has a very calm nature and is highly skilled in understanding and helping you to find the right way of thinking abut life's challenges.

If you are looking for a fair and balanced therapist for couples counselling, I wouldn’t recommend Ron. He took sides, ganged up on me with my partner, was a completely waste of time and highly emotionally draining and ineffective session. He even offered to see my partner separately to me, so he can ruin our relationship even further? Still struggling with what had occurred and has now given my partner the amo and more incentive to push his narrative. Thanks for nothing!

I'm sincerely grateful to have been connected with Ron. He is a wonderful and kind-natured person who puts a lot of effort into the work he does, and it is clear that he genuinely cares for people. My time with Ron has been highly beneficial and fulfilling, as he has brought many insights to my world and gently helped me through my pain and challenges, all the while providing a space where I feel heard and accepted for who I am. Not only has Ron contributed to my quality of life, but his compassion, dedication and high level of skill and understanding are an inspiration to me, as I want to help people who struggle with their mental wellbeing, and I watch Ron make such a positive difference in this way every time I see him - his name is the one that comes to mind when there is someone I know who is in need of support. Thank you for being an invaluable part of my healing journey, Ron. We're blessed to have you.

Ron is great at holding space in our sessions. I feel heard and understood by him, and he has helped me to further understand myself in the process. His presence and nature is comforting and gentle which allows me to feel safe throughout seeing him. I've gained a lot from our sessions and I highly recommend him as a therapist to anyone needing support.

I highly recommend Beverley Able and anyone looking / thinking about seeing a Councillor for whatever reason they wish)

I started seeing Bev a little over two years ago at the age of 28 just for a chat, and have seen her weekly since.
To say the experience has been life changing would be an understatement!
I have never found anyone to be so relaxed, caring & understanding for "everything" and "anything" I throw at her.
Bev has taught me that the world is definitely working for us and not against us.
1. My wife thinks its the best thing I have done!
2. My mates have noticed me develop and become a better mate!
3. And work has never been better $$!

I will be rocking up to Bev's door for as long as she will have me ha.

Cheers Bev - Keep up the great work. & make sure my weekly spot stays available)

Ron guided me through a rough 6 month period. He did this so effectively that I have since referred two other friends to this practice.
Holding a non judgmental, empathic space - It's clear that Ron truly cares for his patient's mental wellbeing, and stands out amongst the other practitioners I have engaged with in the past.
I'll continue to see Ron, even when I don't 'have' to:)

Ron is a great psychologist, who helped me find my way when I felt completely lost. He listened to my story, and made me feel safe and welcome straight away. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him. Thank you Ron!

I have been coming to see Beverley at Scarborough Beach Counselling & Psychology since 2011. Over the years I have come to truly value this space and the healing it has provided me on my mental health journey. I cannot thank Beverley enough for helping me through life's challenges and guiding me to become a better version of myself. Thank you with all my heart!

I have been extremely lucky to have been seeing Ron now for, I think, 5 years.
He has assisted me to understand and be myself, after many years of an abusive marriage where I almost completely lost my sense of self.
He has an ability to guide you to your own answers.
After severe depression and anxiety I continue to grow with his care and insight.
Highly recommend

Ron is a natural at his chosen profession. He has a lovely warm comforting manner. He has taught me to listen to my feelings and ask "is that what I really want? "
He seems to ask the right questions! He has taught me skills to help me to stop being an enabler, to stand up for myself.
He really has helped me to understand myself better and thereby reduce the sadness in my life.
I would not hesitate to recommend Ron to anyone in need of professional counselling. Thank you.

Ron has been highly supportive throughout my time with him and has helped immensely. I’ve found he provides a non-judgemental environment, where I was able to freely share. I highly recommend Ron, as I feel he has been instrumental in the progress I have made.

When i first spoke to RON about finding the real me, i knew i could trust him straight away from the tone in his voice. He made me feel calm and relaxed. I have now been telling my story for over six months and feel so much better. RON has always listened intently, without judgement and has offered me some life changing advice. He is a good person, with real life values.

Over the years i have tried many different psychologist and Ron by far is the most welcoming. He as the ability to make me feel at ease and able to talk freely without any judgement. I have broken more barriers in the 6 months ive been seeing Ron than i have in the last 10 years. The setting of the rooms are also very comforting. You are walking into a home not a clinic. I would highly recommend Ron and the Scarborough beach clinic
