"When we first met David our daughter seemed to be on a crash course with disaster

that could only end in more pain, sorrow and loss - we were all broken and he was our

last hope. After a few sessions with David I could see a chink of light in the darkness -

my daughter's behaviour and motivation for change seemed to improve day by day as

David was always there to support and encourage her through the highs and lows of

that difficult process. His knowledge, honesty, candour and non-judgemental kindness,

coupled with a great sense of humour, seemed to be the perfect remedy my daughter

needed to help her start to see life differently, live life differently and see a hopeful

happy future. David has not only helped my daughter, he has helped the whole family

and I would not hesitate to recommend his services. We have tried different services in

the past with varying degrees of success but I can honestly say that David is the person

who has made the biggest impact and positive influence on our lives."

“I first went to David back in August of ’21 to help me with my problems with drinking. I had long thought that I had a

drinking problem and as I got older the drinking and habit started to take over my life. The pandemic in 2020 put into

sharp focus that alcohol was no longer a social activity for fun and conviviality but one that had been a secret that had

started to have serious implications for my health both physically and mentally and for my relationships.

I slowly realise that my problem was too big a burden for me to carry on my own and after one binge too many I realised

I needed someone to help me. Those early days were a struggle – I was scared and worried and couldn’t see a way

forward.

David has been a marvel – he quickly worked out he could work with me to help me to stop drinking once and for all. I

met with him weekly and he showed me in simple terms how I could give up alcohol safely and for good. With David

there were no false promises – judgements or pressure - instead a wealth of experience and expertise to share and help

me on my way. 29 months later I am happy to say that I am sober and have not drunk a drop since and this is without a

doubt down to the help and guidance of David. I can’t thank him or recommend him enough”.
