Everybody Needs a Dave…. They just don’t know it yet!
I started seeing Dave in January this year after I was recommended him by a friend after I had suffered a very dark Christmas, where my depression and anxiety had reared its ugly head again. I went to Dave with low-self esteem and confidence issues that stemmed from old relationships. From the first session, my confidence grew and has continued to grow. I feel that with the support of Dave I have completely turned my life around.
Dave has been my saviour and improved my confidence 100%, he has enabled me to challenge my negative thoughts and see things in a much more positive way. Dave always told me that once my way of thinking changed positively, then I would attract what I deserved…and guess what….my life has turned around as my confidence has grown! I have found myself in a new loving relationship as well as a promotion in a new organisation and job role that is much more suited to me, my personality and utilising my skills and qualifications. Dave I cannot thank you enough!

A Feeling of Hope
I had been aware that I needed therapy for some years but there was always something more important to spend my time and money on. One day I realised that if I didn’t invest in me then nothing else in life was going to work. Dave had been recommended by a friend who had had many different therapists over the years with no real benefit until she met Dave. After my first session I left with a feeling of hope something I had not felt in a long time! I am a private person and am not good at talking about my emotions and feelings. I was dreading the ‘tell me a time when…’ how did you feel when…’ with Dave there was none of that it is just a relaxed conversation. The hypnotherapy relaxes you, even from the first session I drifted off and the results are incredible. The stress relief and ability to sleep thereafter are so important. I can’t recommend Dave enough. I had regular sessions initially and now just have ad hoc ones when needed. I know with his support anything is possible!

From the Brink……
I was in such a mess when I started seeing Dave. I had had a breakdown and was suffering PTSD as well as having relationship problems. I had tried various other therapists over the years and wasn’t sure where to turn but then saw his card in the GP surgery one day and thank goodness I did! Dave taught me to relax and take control of my mind and body again. Through seeing Dave and facing my daemons head on, I have regained control over my life and am much closer to my partner again. I am happier, calmer, feel stronger and have more confidence and motivation. Dave is a therapist who goes the extra mile to help you. He will never leave you struggling and will make sure you are okay before ending a session. He is warm and friendly but above all multi-skilled and has amazing insight and empathy. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He really did pull me back from the brink of despair.

Anxiety/Depression/Overthinking
As a young man, I have found David to be a life saver; quite literally. Out of all the therapy I have had in recent years, I found something missing with all of them, until I met David. I can honestly say I will now always use David, due to his compassion, knowledge, understanding, calm and very professional manner. More so he is always available should I have a problem. He is life changing.

Life Changing
It is not an exaggeration to state that Dave has provided life changing psychological intervention for me. He is both broad in his approach and detailed in his knowledge; he has multiple tools within his arsenal to enforce lasting change and applies them with care, at just the right time. He is methodical in his approach and wants to see real change. He is motivated not by money, but the art of his craft.
He is approachable, trustworthy and always available. Once you start seeing Dave, you feel you have a genuine lifeline, and you WILL see changes.
He provides materials to use between sessions, and is available via text or phone calls if needed. His goal is to get you better and get you to the point you just catch up with him a few times a year for ‘MOTs’.
6 months ago I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel due to low mood and anxiety, but under Dave’s guidance, 6 months later I’m back to feeling great.
I recommend Dave to anyone who is struggling.

Grief/Bereavement
Dave came highly recommended.
I was stuck in grief, depression and anxiety. I had lost my amazing husband and both my brothers. I was broken, struggling and couldn’t see anyway forward. Basically I was completely numb, disconnected from everything.
Right from the start Dave provided a comfortable, private environment that made me feel safe, to trust and open up.
He is very knowledgeable, non judgemental and easy to talk to. He used different techniques tailored to my progress.
The journals he provided were essential for releasing emotions and getting in touch with my thoughts. The hypnosis was extremely beneficial and I am positive helped to expedite my progress.
Dave provided the guidance and kept me on track but I was responsible for doing the work.
Today, I am more balanced, in control of my emotions, confident, happy, able to see a positive future and able to feel again. It feels good to come out the other side and start to live again.
I can highly recommend Dave.
