In a lifetime of distress following childhood trauma David was the first and only therapist who understood my difficulties, had the language to demonstrate that I'd been heard and the expertise to help me address the damage that those experiences had caused. He provided the most exemplary level of care - care which encompassed education, insight and guidance, care which was always person centred and which focussed as much on my strengths, my qualities and my resilience as it did on my difficulties. Care which was unfailingly honest, consistent and compassionate throughout our work together. David was always flexible and responsive in his approach to my treatment. He taught me how I could find forgiveness for my perceived failings and how to heal the decades long rift which had existed between mind and body. He gave me a medium through which I could understand my experiences and to accept that they've made me the person I am today. More than anything, David gave me a voice and bore witness to my experiences in a way that gave me dignity and a space to go from simply stating that I'm a survivor of trauma to actually believing that to be true. He's taught me to believe that I'm the hero of my own story.

David’s high levels of expertise, years of clinical practice and vast theoretical knowledge culminate in offering exceptional clinical supervision. I personally and professionally experience 'clinical' growth after each supervision session, for which I am very grateful.

Right from our first meeting David immediately made me feel at ease. I felt I was speaking to someone who really cared, and who listened without judgement. David guided me through a low point in my life until I felt able to move forward with a different perspective and a more positive outlook. I can't thank him enough for our sessions together and would not hesitate to recommend him.
