Hi, I’m Dave. I’m a compassionate and approachable counsellor and I believe that everyone has the potential to rediscover purpose and joy in their life. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, or feelings of overwhelm. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions. I see therapy as a journey—one that requires patience, empathy, and a deep respect for your unique story.

My approach is collaborative and client-centered, focusing on your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking clarity, coping strategies, or personal growth, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Together we can work towards building resilience, insight, and a sense of balance in your life.

Growing up in a family with four siblings, I have had to learn the necessity of finding and using my voice. I’ve seen how easy it is for people to feel like they’ve lost that sense of influence in their own lives. Through counselling, I hope to help you reconnect with your voice and feel more empowered to take back control over your story.

I offer individual counselling and family and couples counselling. I have flexible options for scheduling. Please get in touch with me if you need different scheduling options.
