Testimonials

“My time with David was nothing short of life saving. Plagued with OCD and high levels of anxiety for the majority of my life I thought I had to accept this quality of life forever. Through my time with David and his techniques I not only saw my anxiety and despair decreasing but found actual joy and happiness in the life I had built for myself. I will forever be indebted to David and have recommended his services to friends countless times”

“David Williams is a kind, understanding and calming man who helped me more than I can say. He was able to locate the centre of what was upsetting me through what seemed like casual chat and guide me effectively towards understanding myself and my mental health issues and learn the tools to control them myself!
I couldn’t recommend therapy enough in general, but if you’re choosing David then you’re guaranteed to have someone willing to do their best for you!””

“Hi David

Just want to say a huge thank you for what you have done for me, I still have the same huge smile on my face as I had last week, as I am writing this. I was always of the thinking that when something was in your mind, it was there to stay and no matter what, nobody could tell you differently. I was a little of a non believer of this kind of treatment, but you have taught me so much of how I can enjoy things again through our sessions together, and I know it’s a cliche but it has changed my life. (Problem with high anxiety)”

“Having worked with David for a little over a year I feel all the issues that have troubled me over many years have slowly diminished, leaving me feeling like I can accomplish anything without the overwhelming doubt that has held me back in the past. David has a wonderfully calming demeanour which makes it very easy to open up to him about issues that carry a real burden. I never felt a pressure to explain myself and my issues, it just flowed very naturally, which is a testament to his professionalism, calm nature and patience.

Each session had a structure but it regularly flowed in a more spontaneous way making it feel very personal to me. David very quickly picked up on the fact that I responded better to a more fluid session and gave me a lot of control of how the sessions went, making it feel like I was talking to a friend in a relaxed environment. With every session that passed I always felt like we were working towards something. There was regular goal-setting and re-evaluation of goals to ensure I stayed focussed and motivated, and after every session I always walked away feeling better about myself and also challenged to continue my personal development in the week that followed.

I would highly recommend David. He is incredibly professional and his attention to his work is fantastic. He really makes you feel important, and confident that no matter the issue that you are faced with there is light at the end of the tunnel”

Depression – Steyning, West Sussex

“I contacted David when I was at a low point struggling with anxiety and alcohol which was affecting my life, both with work and relationships. David is a lovely person, kind and reassuring, and made me feel completely at ease in the sessions. His logical approach to CBT is spot-on and he never loses focus of what needs to be achieved in each session and in the long-term. I have noticed huge improvements in my ability to cope with anxiety, my relationships and my general outlook to life. Thanks again, David!”

Male: Anxiety/low self-esteem – Worthing

“When I started looking for a counsellor independent from the NHS, I felt that I was in a desperate place. I had already been in and out of therapy for a number of years through the NHS and various charities and due to the limitation in sessions, I actually believed that my problems could never be fixed.
As soon as I started talking to David on the phone, I knew he was the right person for me. I felt calm, reassured and for a moment hopeful. This was the beginning of a journey which would set me up for the rest of my life. David provided a safe place for me to discuss what I thought my problems were. He was able to help me focus and structure my goals for therapy. I had ownership of my healing.
David was excellent at enabling me to face myself in a true light and he was always sensitive but I needed to be challenged in the way that I thought about myself.
Much of the therapy was centred around CBT and David was able to provide the tools that I will continue to use. David gave me fantastic support and I cant recommend him highly enough – thank you David for enabling me to set myself free!”

Female: Anxiety/stress/low self-esteem – Worthing

“Dear David,
It’s been quite a journey David, for which I will be eternally grateful to you. I have learnt so much about myself and specifically why I have reacted in the way I have. Understanding these reasons and handling them in a measured and positive way can only bring a better approach to those areas which gave me so much conflict in the past.

I wish you well and I will never forget the past 7 months.”
