David Dawn

David aims to foster the relational space in therapy with each person he encounters. He emphasises understanding the specific needs of the client, providing a space that is safe and supportive, to help confront challenges and progress toward meaningful change.

Engaging in therapy can help with:

• Understanding our actions and responses, either with regard to ourselves, or in our relationships.
• Figuring out what truly matters to us
• Increased ‘flexibility’ – being able to better respond to different situations and experiences
• Learning to better self-care and manage our stress more effectively
• Increased energy, motivation, and feeling alive
• Improving our ability to cope with uncomfortable feelings and thoughts
• Making meaningful relationships and connections
• Learning how to be kind and compassionate to yourself and others

David approaches his work by drawing upon the psychological models of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing.
