I have enjoyed being a therapist for the past 7 years, helping clients with all mental health difficulties. I live a vastly fulfilling life with my family of a wife, 6 kids, 4 cats, and my loving Yorkie named Reggie. I am extensively qualified in using CBT and Gottman couples therapy. I will help you in our sessions to overcome insecurities and develop the skills you need to feel secure, prepared, and proud. You will feel better as a person and learn real solutions for what you need to do. You’ll gain 1) coping tools - including developing better habits, routines, and self care strategies, 2) relationship tools - including improving conversation, being able to comfortably navigate conflict, learning how to avoid relationship-ruining habits, and promoting a more positive perspective, and 3) confidence building tools - including growing a more confident mindset, doing favorite hobbies, performing good mental health activities, and having a future plan for both the short term and long term to live a satisfying, secure life.

David has been a literal life saver. I was in a relationship with someone truly toxic and he was supportive in my efforts to save my relationship but was also real with me about the obvious abuse going on. Without him I dont know what I would have done. He is kind and supportive and intuitive and I am so grateful that I was able to connect with him.

David has been fantastic for me and he has helped me through a very tough time. Unfortunately the app/website has let me down payment wise and skimmed days off when I started so I was unable to say thank you to David before my ‘month’ was up. I am doing well now and things are on the up. David has had a massive impact on my progress and if I feel I need to return to therapy, I will seek David out. I’m sorry I didn’t get chance to say thank you properly and I, and my family, will be forever grateful for the help you have given. All the best David.
