My first time seeing a counsellor and I was quite worried especially as it was a man.

However David made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

He was very easy to open up to in his kind manner and I always felt I was in a safe place with him to speak openly and in confidence.

In the few sessions with David I found myself again thanks to his reassurance and patience.

I am a much better person now and in a much better place.

I would highly recommend David and would definitely ask to see him again specially.

I found our sessions during a difficult time in my life to be exactly what I needed, a new perspective, and a listening, non-judgemental ear which I lacked from friends and family.

It was easy to talk with you, and I felt comfortable opening up emotionally about the situation at hand, I did not feel embarrassed.

Your unbiased commentary gave me hope and direction to think things through and opened me up to communicate more clearly, and to see and feel things differently.

Although I only saw you for a short time, I believe it helped me immensely with my confidence and general state of mind at the time.

I was hesitant to start therapy, unsure if it would make a difference. But from my first session with David, I felt heard and understood in a way I hadn’t before. His kind, non-judgemental approach created a safe space where I could open up and explore my feelings without fear.

David’s gentle guidance helped me work through emotions I’d buried for years. He never told me what to do but supported me in finding my own answers — which was incredibly empowering.

Thanks to our sessions, I’ve gained confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of hope. I’m truly grateful for the impact therapy has had on my life, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David to anyone seeking support.

I was unsure about EMDR at first, but combining it with person-centred therapy changed everything. What I appreciated most was how David created a space where I felt safe, heard, and in control of my own healing journey.

I wasn’t rushed or pushed—I was supported every step of the way. Processing painful memories felt manageable, and for the first time in years, I felt a real sense of relief and clarity.

As someone who was initially sceptical towards the idea of exposing one’s inner being to a stranger, I can now confirm that I am thankful for taking a brave step and seeing the benefit of the process. I also had reservations on what the “stranger” could really do for me. However, with an open attitude that developed as trust was formed between myself and David I could see the gradual progress that he stimulated by his method of therapy.

Being aware of the process of EMDR it was great when that was offered as a form of therapy, as David was qualified to offer this as well. What I really appreciated about our counselling sessions was the openness, honesty and relaxed setting created that allowed me to be myself.

Your sessions had a profound effect on my life .

1. I don’t apologise for who I am anymore

2. ⁠I don’t say to people ‘I think I like ‘ I say assertively whether I like it or not

3. ⁠I’m really proud of me

4. ⁠I’m opening my eyes to my good points and there are alot about me

5. ⁠I’m not pleasing anyone for their benefit if it isn’t for mine

I feel more free…

I would like to thank you for your help over the last couple of months.

You’ve helped me gain a greater insight into who I actually am as a person and why I do what I do.

Maybe our paths will cross again
