About Me
Hi, I'm David. I qualified as an integrative counsellor in 2012 and have been working in community-based organisations and private practice ever since, building extensive experience across a wide range of presenting issues.
If you are seeking support with depression, anxiety, grief, abuse, feeling stuck or sleep disturbance, you can expect to be met by a fellow human being who is genuinely determined to help you heal. My focus is on supporting you to improve your relationship with yourself, in a way that can meet and heal whatever wounds need attention.
I am also trained as a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and a Gestalt therapist. These approaches have deepened my understanding of the interplay between mind, body, spirit and environment, and how all these parts of us need to be met with curiosity and care. As Peter Levine, the founder of Somatic Experiencing, reminds us , trauma is not in the event itself, but in the imprint it leaves on our nervous system. That imprint can be renegotiated in the present through therapy, and that is exactly the work I am here to support.

Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence.
