Counselling in Hackney, London
I work as an integrative psychotherapist. Therapy offers you a space to think about where you are in your life and where you’d like to be. I believe that therapy can help you live a more authentic and meaningful life. I offer a warm and supportive space where you can share what has brought you to therapy. People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons; all are valid. Perhaps you are feeling depressed, anxious, angry, stuck or suffering from low self-esteem. You might be struggling with your sexuality or gender identity. Perhaps you are feeling dissatisfied with your relationships with friends, partners or work colleagues.

As an integrative therapist with a background in neuroscience I like provide a non judgmental environment while using psycho-education as a way of explaining what is going on in the mind, to lead towards certain decisions that we make and then how those decisions lead back to our emotions. I combine multidisciplinary approaches using motivational interviewing to find your strengths, CBT as a way of finding triggers and solutions. To explore alternative ways of finding happiness and motivation in life.

You may be feeling overwhelmed & disconnected in your relationships & work, &/or experiencing anxiety & despair about the state of the world - the climate crisis, the political landscape, the “never enough” of grind culture capitalism, the multitude of oppressive systems that plague us (racism, cisheteropatriarchy etc). I’ve been practicing for 15 years & find it especially rewarding working with those who are highly sensitive, empathic, artists, activists, queer, non monogamous, those struggling with a dysregulated nervous system, anxious attachment, poor boundaries & people pleasing. I work somatically alongside talk therapy.

Hi I’m David. I work with a broad range of clients, each with their unique reasons for seeking therapy. I provide a warm and inclusive, confidential space that is sensitive to you and your needs. We all possess the capacity to self-heal, but sometimes these resources within us become blocked. In a safe and supportive relationship we can start to become aware of what might be restricting us, start to remove these barriers, and allow our own strengths and resources to emerge. I have significant experience in providing therapy through various services across London and in private practice working with issues such as:
