Grand Counselling & Consulting

David (he/him) is a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist providing professional counselling services.

David completed his Master of Social Work at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2016 where he is currently a part-time university instructor and PhD candidate at the Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work. In David’s doctoral research he focuses on understanding the complex connections between grief, trauma, and dispossession from places of belonging.

Combined with over 15 years of counselling experience, David has developed a particular specialty for working therapeutically with individuals living with the anxiety and emotional difficulties that often accompany experiences of grief, trauma, and significant loss.

Additional life challenges that David commonly supports in his therapeutic work with clients includes depression, anxiety, existential crisis, issues of codependency, body image, chronic stress and burnout.

Approach

David’s work as a therapist is positioned foundationally through anti-oppressive, psychodynamic and attachment-based frameworks of understanding. David has been educated in traditions that allow him to consider a holistic view of the individual within the broader contexts of their lives - seeking connections between mind, body, emotions, and community to identify and heal where someone may be feeling blocked or experiencing distress.

David believes that positive transformation within our lives occurs in the context of supportive and safe relationships. David therefore facilitates therapy services from a humanistic and relational stance that includes recognition of the inherent worth and dignity of all people. While David considers himself to be an eclectic therapy practitioner, drawing from a number of different therapeutic traditions, some of the modalities that have significantly influenced his work include Narrative Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and mindfulness.

David acknowledges that he lives and works on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, and Attawandaron peoples, on lands associated with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum.
