Hi, I’m David.
My role as your counsellor is to help you develop the capacity for personal growth and change. Responding to your needs I use a person-centred therapy and a solution focused approach to counselling, which is non-judgmental, empathetic, empowering and motivating to you as the individual to take back control and grow.
It is okay to take care of yourself and natural to want to live a happy, fulfilled and energised life. It takes tremendous strength to change and to live without anxiety, stress, depression, uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed by life.
In counselling, you talk, and I will patiently listen with compassion. We will explore what is causing your problems and talk about new strategies to overcome them. Your energy will grow, and anxiety and depression will shrink.
My clients tell me I am warm, friendly and helpful. I am confident in helping you find relief from anxiety, depression and “self-sabotaging” behaviours. If I sound like the sort of person you could see yourself talking to, then please do not hesitate to contact me today.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Having sessions with David Atlay has been a remarkable experience for me .
He helped me developing new framework for my mindset to handle my emotions better and minimize the self-sabotaging behaviors and thoughts that I had before the sessions.
David pays attention to the details of my story and troubles that I elaborate, asking thought-provoking questions to help me think more rationally, discusses with me my hypothesis on what could be the causes of my problems and subsequently develop a more healthy mindset.
He has been a great colleague that work together with me to develop my mindset and mental condition.
I recommend him for those who are seeking help, who are ready to openly discuss their problems.
