Welcome! I’m David, a counsellor working with people seeking greater peace and well-being in their lives.
I work with people to unpack the nature of the problems they face, to understand the wisdom of these problems, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with the world we share. Some of the problems I commonly work with include:
- Ongoing unease, a sense of dread, despair, or lack of fulfillment in one's pursuits and in life
- Reliving the past, feeling trapped by the past, or struggling with fear, shame or anger about the past
- Intense or persistent inner critics, intrusive negative thoughts, or harsh storytelling about oneself
- Difficulty asserting oneself, or having one's needs, preferences or desires met or respected
- Struggles with initiating tasks, or maintaining focus, direction and drive
- Disconnection from other people, such as feeling alone or lonely, detached, unloved or unlovable
- Disconnection from oneself, low self-regard or self-worth, feeling 'lost' or aimless in life
I believe that wellness means greater comfort with ourselves, deeper relationships with others, and the tools to feel confident and effective in navigating the challenges we face as human beings. My job is to help you get there.
Welcome! I’m David, a counsellor working with people seeking greater peace and well-being in their lives.
I work with people to unpack the nature of the problems they face, to understand the wisdom of these problems, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with the world we share. Some of the ways I help include:
- Locating a feeling of connectedness to oneself, other people, and the world
- Calming inner critics and intrusive negative thoughts, and rewriting harsh storytelling about oneself
- Enhancing self-regard and self-respect, independent of the opinions of other people
- Resolving anger, confusion, fear, hurt, guilt or shame, with or without forgiveness of others
- Developing or improving the ability to initiate and complete tasks, and sustain personal motivation
- Finding assertiveness, and having one's needs, preferences or desires met or respected
- Locating a sense of purpose, direction, and meaning in one's life and pursuits
