Client Feedback
"Working with Dave for two years has been transformative for me. I feel very different to the man that first walked into the therapy room. Â I feel calmer and more at ease with myself and my loved ones have noticed a huge positive difference." LM
Counselling with Dave, transformed my life. At all times I felt supported, safe and believed; conditions I had rarely experienced before. With just the right blend of gentle support and challenge, I was able to understand what had happened to me, why I had become the person I was, allow myself to feel feelings and ultimately to change. My life now is infinitely better than is was and my life has improved immeasurably. Sue
"Five years ago I was looking for a counsellor to help me with difficulties I was having in my relationship. I was recommended to Dave, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Dave understood what I was going through and, with kindness and honesty, helped me face things I sometimes found difficult to acknowledge in myself. Over time, I felt like a new person and much better equipped to deal with life and my relationships with others.
I still return to Dave from time to time when I need some perspective. He is a thoughtful, perceptive and genuinely caring therapist who understands people and knows how to help. I would have no hesitation in recommending him." Â Richard
