David believes that each client is the expert in their own lives, thus taking the role of a passenger and GPS, guiding when necessary, listening and being present always.
David’s practice is foundational, based in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), which uses emotions as guides to understand our needs and values, helping to provide insight into one’s life. He is also practiced in strategies such as narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as internal family systems. These approaches are used to help support each client where they are with whatever struggle they are facing.
David works with Teenagers and Adults facing a variety of struggles, such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and trauma, childhood trauma being a particular specialty. David has a lot of experience working with those who are neurodivergent, such as those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD.
