Therapy with David
My approach is intuitive, sensitive and empathic with a strong focus on fostering positive growth. I support my clients using a collaborative approach to therapy that aims to empower you to build on your individual strengths and work towards agreed-upon goals. I work alongside you to develop strategies to help reduce distress, promote measurable progress and navigate future challenges.
I provide a safe therapeutic space established with warmth, genuineness and positive regard, ensuring you are heard and valued. As an AHPRA registered psychologist, I utilise an evidence-base informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), providing you with a comprehensive, gold standard, therapeutic approach.
