Testimonials From Couples

“After being married for almost 9 years, married life as we knew it had been struck with crisis and we did not know where to turn. After first trying another national counselling service, we found we could not “relate” to it at all! We found David through his website and have never looked back. Our marriage was on the rocks, but David’s approach to us and our situation was positive and encouraging and we found that we could relax 100% in his presence. He has given us priceless communication tools which we will use forever. Encouraging, engaging, positive, empathetic, sympathetic and professional are just a few of the words that come to mind when we speak of David. He has been instrumental in helping us help our marriage and we will be eternally grateful to him for that. Thank you David!” K. and A.

“Prior to our meetings with David we were a broken jigsaw puzzle ready to be abandoned. David has helped us to put the pieces together and now we are a whole and complete picture together. Thank you David.” K and P.

David has given us the skills to move on in our marriage and the confidence that we will overcome any future problems with the skills he has taught us.Through careful listening and amazing insight, he was able to unravel hurts and misunderstandings going back many years. Our whole approach to each other has changed and we feel happier and closer than we have ever been. My husband had resisted my attempts to see a counsellor for years and embarked on it with no confidence of success. However he is now a convert and thrilled with the results. Thank you David – I wish we had found you years ago. J. and J.

“We weren’t sure what to expect when we first embarked on marriage counselling, but David put us both at ease quickly and was constructive without being judgemental. Over a short space of time, David has given us the skills to communicate effectively within our marriage. This has meant that we have learned to appreciate each other’s differences and avoid major conflict – going forward in our relationship. David has introduced us to some simple techniques which have helped to save our marriage. If only we knew about them before!” J. and D.

We went to see David regarding my husband’s interest in pornography, seeking his guidance in something that was very difficult to talk about. Even though there was no specific mention on his website of his ability to do counselling re pornography, we felt, after reading the testimonials of others, that David’s overall approach and skills in counselling would serve us well and we were right. David helped us to communicate to each other what we were thinking and feeling and we resolved the issue to mutual satisfaction. He relates really well to both men and women and we would highly recommend David to anyone seeking counselling. C.and J.

“We were going through a rather difficult time in our marriage and I felt there was a real danger we would not pull through together and that we would drift apart. I felt a strong sense that we needed help to understand each other better and to reconnect. David helped us by giving us an opportunity to listen to each other, to take time out to sort out the issues. He gave us tools like ‘Active Listening’, ‘Relationship Skills Self-Evaluation’, ‘Love Languages’, ‘Myers-Briggs Psychometric Profile’, etc. As a consequence we are now stronger than ever. We understand and respect each other’s differences better and we have reconfirmed our love and commitment to each other. Seeing David really helped us. We continue to see David as a M.O.T. marriage check up every three months which is really helpful and gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we are doing as a couple. David has the skills experience and life insight to effectively assist couples through their marriage challenges.” B. and D.

“Following the discovery of an ‘emotional affair’ our marriage was in serious trouble. We decided we needed help when it became almost impossible to communicate without an argument occuring. We found David online and on our first visit, although there was a lot of pain and anger, David made it possible for us to express what we were feeling – and the relief was enormous. David painstakingly worked with us through all of it – the blame, denial, guilt, shame and recrimination – and through his completely non-judgemental and cleverly constructed guidance we finally started to listen and understand one another. He showed us a way to begin to resolve our differences and forgive one another for any harm we had caused. His supportive and caring attitude together with his calming and ‘step-by-step’ approach enabled us to put the past behind us and start to build on the strengths of our marriage. Although we still have a way to go, we recommend David, without hesitation, to anyone going through emotional difficulties and thank him for all his help and on-going support.” P. and J.
