I've had a great experience working with David. He is extremely professional, clear in his communication, and always reassuring. He creates a safe, non-judgmental space where it feels easy to open up. His ability to listen and respond with insight and clarity has been very helpful. I always leave our sessions feeling heard, understood, and more grounded. Highly recommend.

David treated our daughter when she had an eating disorder. He was wonderful. He supported her but also challenged her. She has made amazing progress and still turns to David whenever she feels she needs some help. He has also been an enormous support to my husband and I. He has advised on how best to support her while building her resilience. I would recommend David to anyone looking for an empathetic, wise, experienced, straight talking therapist.

Very relaxed, easy to chat to, took a detailed history of my concerns. Did two psychological sessions which addressed my concerns, did two ear acupuncture sessions which really helped my anxiety and depression. Very happy with the treatment I received. I'm free to go back to David whenever I feel I might want to address other outstanding family issues in the future.
