More about David
- 3 years' experience
- Male
I am an Applied Psychologist, specialized in guiding adults through personal transformation, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, getting out of your head and major life transitions. My approach combines in-depth dialogue with practical tools, helping clients gain insight, recognize hidden patterns, and strengthen their self-awareness. I always work attuned to the unique needs of each individual, emphasizing a safe and non-judgmental connection.
In addition to my one-on-one work, I facilitate men’s groups and foster a community focused on personal growth and authentic connection. I provide a safe environment where participants can explore themselves more deeply.
I am accredited in the Netherlands and have three years of professional experience. My strength lies in uncovering inner patterns, supporting self-insight, and guiding people toward greater balance, agency, and authenticity in their lives. Together with my clients, I create an open and safe space where thoughts and emotions can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step toward change requires courage—I am here to support that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
