Welcome. I'm David,
I’m a counsellor and trauma-informed therapist offering online individual and couples therapy for adults throughout New Zealand.
Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and feel less alone with it. I offer a calm, thoughtful space to explore what has shaped you — at a pace that feels manageable.
Is my approach for you?
Do you often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stretched?
Are you affected by relational or developmental trauma?
Do you find it difficult to be seen, understood, or ask for support?
Do you notice patterns in your relationships or emotions that you want to understand differently?
Are you looking for a slower, relational approach to therapy?
How I can help
You don't need to have a clear diagnosis or know exactly what's wrong to come to therapy. Sometimes you simply know that something isn't working, or that you're feeling stuck in patterns you'd like to understand differently.
I work with adults experiencing:
Anxiety & overwhelm
Making sense of anxiety, emotional overwhelm, panic and the pressures of everyday life.
Trauma & difficult past experiences
Exploring the impact of developmental or relational trauma and how earlier experiences may still shape the present.
Relationships & intimacy
Understanding relationship patterns, communication, connection, sexuality and intimacy — both individually and as a couple.
Grief & life transitions
Finding space to process loss, change and experiences that have altered the way you see yourself or your life.
Self-worth, shame & identity
Developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself and exploring the parts of you that may feel stuck, critical or disconnected.
Take the next step
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You don't need to know exactly what you need or have everything figured out before reaching out.
If you'd like to explore whether working together might be a good fit, you're welcome to get in touch.
