Counselling in Melbourne, VIC
My counselling style is gentle and collaborative with the ability to create rapport quickly – I intend to create a safe, supportive and affirming place where the counselling work is empowering and enriching. I use a person-centred and trauma-informed cognitive behavioural approach in my work, which also includes elements of ACT, DBT, Schema and psychodynamic therapies. I see my work as a real honour to work with people, quite often at their most vulnerable, and I really value the time I spend with my clients as we explore and collaborate on our therapy experience together.

I aim to create a warm and supportive space for people to inquire about how and why their symptoms present in the way that they do. I work collaboratively with people to increase insight, make the unconscious conscious, and help them learn to be with their pain in a way that is present. We do this by exploring their defence mechanisms, internal conflicts, their relationship patterns, and how their early life experiences have informed the way they relate to themselves, others and the world around them. It’s through this exploration that we begin to understand why they show up in the world the way that they do.

Hi, I'm David, I am a Clinical Psychologist who will work with you in a compassionate and honest way to help you reach your goals. There is no doubt that therapy can be challenging and confronting, however on the otherside of this adventure lies a life of greater confidence, improved and more meaningful relationships as well as a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe that while pain is an inevitable part of life, suffering does not need to be. Positive change is possible.
