Hi, I'm David. I find it inspiring when anyone admits they are grappling with life, and they have the courage and conviction to seek professional support.

Professional. Ethical. Life Experienced. Supportive.

My approach

 

Changing your life can be challenging, however it can be immensely rewarding. It can allow you to live life in ways you've never done or never even thought about before.

​

​I'm here to support you to better understand, process and adapt to your situation - to feel less distressed, more alive, capable and fulfilled as a person. I really want to help you thrive in life.​

​

I take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to health and well-being. I offer various, evidence-based therapeutic modalities; there is no “one-way” of counselling or psychotherapy.​​​

​

My professional credentials​​​

​

I hold a Master's degree in Counselling, and am a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA, Level 2), committed to the ethical standards and practices of the profession, including undertaking professional supervision and continuing professional development. ​For the past few years I have been a Crisis Supporter with Lifeline (13 11 14), in both voluntary and paid night-shifts. I'm also an accredited coach (ICC), able to support people towards personal wellness and balance in their lives.

 

​​My personal background

​

I work on maintaining my health through cycling, walking, yoga, mindfulness, breathwork and resting on my shakti mat. Over many years, I've read widely on sociology, psychology, counselling and psychotherapy, personal and spiritual growth and development.​

 

I'm a middle-aged son, brother, long-married husband and father of teenage sons, who tree-changed to regional NSW several years ago. I've experienced many of the ups and downs life has to offer, which informs my compassionate, empathic understanding of my clients. 

 

​I also hold a Bachelors Degree in Economics, a Postgraduate Diploma in Sociology. My career has included sales and distribution, marketing communications, social research & insights in commercial and not-for-profit sectors.
