I have been in therapy for 20+ years. I almost lost faith in my ability to progress and David has truly helped me turn that around. I want to become a better person, and David is constantly keeping me accountable, helping me see other perspectives. He is fantastic.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

It's hard to put into words how David has helped me navigate this chapter in my life. Thank you David for listening, for offering words of encouragement, and for creating space for me to share my experiences. For anyone considering David as a therapist, I highly recommend him to anyone needing someone who can listen and help navigate difficult situations in life. He is great at bringing perspective to any and every conversation we've had.

Hey David, thanks for everything. It has been a great journey for me. I’ll try to epitomise all we discussed. It has been a blast, you’re great!

Reviewed July 2022

I've only had a session with him due to my own personal busy schedule but I'm extremely satisfied with his services and he makes the sessions fun by throwing in some humour which aids the session. He has great knowledge of his profession and makes you feel comfortable and listens intently throughout the entire session. We're in different timezones for sessions but he's nothing but accommodating for everything.

David has been very insightful, and responsive to my needs. Right from the start he could hear where some of my issues lay (when I could not) and he led me gently but insistently in that direction, with humour and kindness. We are still in the middle of it, so ....

Great therapist !!

David is not only so kind and caring, he has a great sense of humour which really helps when it comes to our meetings. He’s great at breaking down my problems and finding the core to which I can work on. He doesn’t beat around the bush and will say it how it is, which is extremely helpful to understand why I feel the way I do about certain things.

David is fantastic!! He is understanding and listens to what you have to say. I get great advice from David and also assignments as well. You tell him what your possible problems are and he works with it. Fun to talk to face to face. I feel he is someone who has known me for years but has only talked to me for a few months!!

David is warm, personable, attentive, immediately made me feel aware of his process as a counselor, and made me feel comfortable being myself. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

I feel so lucky to have David’s counselling services. Straight out of the gate, he introduced himself and his practices in such a personal manner. His responsiveness to messages is not only timely, he is also thoughtful in all his feedback. I feel I am listened to and supported with no fear of judgment. David encourages me while gently challenging me in ways I need.
