David and his partner live in North Fremantle and participate in a range of mindfulness and health related pursuits.

David starts from a very compassionate and understanding approach and sees relationships as built on a base of respect followed by kindness and understanding. The pathway through to a better future is dependent on these qualities assisted by much patience and clarification of goals, visions and values for the relationship. His approach is to help couples who value their relationship and want to make it work better. Based on his experience he knows this is possible and is positively supportive of any couple that takes the courageous (and wise) step of seeking help. He starts from the position that the relationship is something of great value and as long as it is not destructive for either party can be the most important vehicle for personal fulfillment.
