I’m Dave, a registered BACP integrative therapeutic counsellor. I have experience working with adults of all ages, backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations. I provide a safe, confidential space to explore whatever is going on for you and help to facilitate change in your life. It may be something very specific – like relationship problems or a major life event like loss, or a more general feeling that you would like things in your life to be different. Whatever the issue, counselling can help.

Across 9 years of psychodynamic counselling practice, I have come to an approach that is informed by my concurrent practice as an artist-gardener: co-creation, nurturing, growth and transformation are fused in our work together, cultivating the discovery of where and how you can live in yourself and in the world. The work of therapy resides in a space that we inhabit together, a space where  meaning can be made or found. It is a place in the clearing. Here, lives and held views can be encouraged to be found, to be heard, and to potentially transform.

I’m no longer taking on therapy clients, I am focussing instead on offering specialist supervision and consultation to therapists of all gender and sexualities and theoretical models.
