I currently have availability, I offer daytime and evening sessions along with Saturday mornings.

Hi, I'm Dave and I work as a fully qualified person-centred Counsellor supporting both adults and adolescents. I strongly believe that we can all access change and that we all have the capacity to find a way forward if we are supported and guided appropriately. This is where a therapeutic relationship with a Counsellor can help, with the outcome often life-changing and life-affirming.

My approach is considered and thoughtful, whilst relevant to the ever changing world around us.  I consider my process to be real and to the point, holding the core values of mutual trust and respect at the forefront. This enables me to forge a therapeutic relationship with my clients which guides them gently towards self-reflection and empowers them with the understanding and tools to access personal change and inspire growth.

I was born and raised in North London during a time in which mental health was rarely spoken about or acknowledged, and for the past 20 years I have worked alongside a number of Local Authorities in providing Alternative Education solutions for excluded pupils and individuals who have struggled to feel like they "fit in". This has gifted me real insight into how many of us can struggle with our mental wellbeing and the impact that this can have on our day to day experiences.

I created and designed a number of programmes and interventions to empower and assist young people in meeting their full potential, with a focus on developing their understanding of the importance of their own emotional wellness.

I continue to work in local schools as a Visiting Counsellor, in addition to providing Consultancy in connection with Wellbeing and Mental Health and promoting understanding of the links between this and negative behaviour. 

I offer a free initial telephone consultation in order to complete an assessment and explore the nature of what has brought you to counselling.
