Hello, I am David, an experienced qualified Pluralistic counsellor. I believe no single counselling approach will fit every client and presenting issue. Person-centred and psychodynamic in outlook and attitude, I tailor my approach to each client, using the therapeutic approach that best addresses and resolves the client's problems. At the heart of my counselling style is the belief clients heal through exploring how their issues arose, where these come from, and crucially how to make the changes needed to feel at ease with themselves. I help clients do this by moving away from people-pleasing to being true to themselves.
I specialise in trauma and unhelpful coping behaviours arising from attachment, addiction, self-acceptance, self-worth, and relationship issues, including softening our 'inner critical voice. I show how the past impacts the present and how to make meaningful and lasting changes. My approach is gentle and compassionate, non-judgemental and supportive.
I 'hold a space' for you, providing a safe, protective and confidential environment in which you can openly share your concerns and issues, and work towards resolving them. I am authentic and open in our sessions, and willing to walk beside you and help you become the person you feel you were meant to be, through healing and growth.
