Meet David
David combines academic study, professional experience and life experience of personal struggle into understanding and compassion of a different kind.

It is this in-depth understanding, personal experience and breadth of knowledge that translates into positive outcomes for David’s clients.
David offers a highly specialised approach to healing through his Psychotherapy Addictions Support Groups and individual therapy. The combination of these treatments provide clients the highest chances of success.
