Meet David

I am living my mission in providing my unique set of abilities to the world. In addition to my psychology skillset, I can also draw on over twenty years of experience in the business world. 

Background & Experience

I work across a variety of areas, including relationships and couples counselling, stress, anxiety, performance, business strategy, mindfulness, communication, weight management, exercise, motivation, health, chronic pain, self-esteem, and anger management.

I also have experience in sport and performance psychology, having worked with elite athletes across a range of settings, including professional golfers, AFL, tennis, and soccer. My work in this area includes supporting clients with mindfulness techniques, performance routines, stress management, building self-esteem, and maximising personal growth.

Approach & Philosophy

I have a strong curiosity and willingness to understand human behaviour, which underpins my approach to working with clients. I aim to be open-minded, non-judgemental, authentic, and compassionate in my work, and I value building genuine, communicative, and supportive relationships. I am committed to helping clients create meaningful behavioural change and use a range of evidence-based techniques to support them in achieving their goals and reaching their potential. I also value my ability to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
