Επιπρόσθετα, η διαδρομή του στην προσωπική του θεραπεία, το θάρρος, η κατάθεσης ψυχής, η προοδευτικά αυξανόμενη ειλικρίνεια και η αποεπένδυση του μίγματος ενοχών και ντροπής, λειτούργησε σαν να έχει αφαιρεθεί βάρος από την ψυχή του και εν δυνάμει, αυτό μπορεί να προσφερθεί σε όποιον/α επιθυμεί να υπάρξει και να δουλέψει μέσα στο θεραπευτικό δωμάτιο. Τέλος, παρέχει ατομικές συνεδρίες συμβουλευτικής και ψυχοθεραπείας, βασισμένες στο συνθετικό μοντέλο που απαντούν σε θεραπευτικά αιτήματα με εκδηλώσεις στο άγχος, τις φοβίες, τις κρίσεις πανικού, την κατάθλιψη, το πένθος και την απώλεια, υπαρξιακά δεδομένα, δυσλειτουργικές πεποιθήσεις,  χαμηλή αντίληψη εαυτού και αυτοεικόνας, χρήση ή κατάχρηση ουσιών, συνεξάρτηση, μεταβολές ζωής και αντίσταση στην αλλαγή, διαταραχές άγχους και  προσωπικότητας (σε συνεργασία με τον/την εκάστοτε ψυχίατρο από τον/την οποίο/α παρακολουθείται ο θεραπευόμενος).
