With many years of experience supporting a diverse range of individuals and challenges, he is highly skilled in guiding people toward positive change. David has been the Chairman of the Queensland Clinical and Mental Health Practice Group for the Australian Association of Social Workers and is registered at the highest level within the Australian Counselling Association.

He is a warm and encouraging practitioner who is able to utilise evidence-based interventions without judgement. For each session, David is focused on progress and growth, making every moment purposeful. The counselling process is effective in facilitating reflection and understanding, in turn empowering the individual to tolerate associated distress and build confidence and capacity to take meaningful action towards improvement. The therapy space provides a peaceful open setting with plenty of natural light and complete privacy, perfectly conducive for productive work without distractions.

David uses the following therapy modalities: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rogerian Person-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR). Through the process of exploration and getting to the heart of what is holding you back, therapy is incredibly valuable in moving you towards the person you want to be, and a fulfilling life that you can be excited to live.
