My name is David. I am a mature person with vast experiences including working as a musician, as a nurse, as a roadie, as a dental technician, as a props master, as a video editor, as a director, as an actor, as a support worker, a carer, guitar technician, as a band manager. I have travelled profusely for over thirty years and am lucky enough to have interacted with many different people from various cultures and backgrounds for extended periods. I pride myself on being a loyal, intelligent, caring friend. A considerate father and step-father as well as an evolving husband.

I offer counselling for those suffering from low moods, life struggles, difficulties with companionship and ongoing mental health challenges. I can offer a private and confidential space for sessions. Trove counselling is a safe space for you to unload, explore and deal with issues that may be too overwhelming. There is often no ‘easy fix’ or ‘quick solutions’ but over time, with me as your counsellor, we can journey towards your best place. As a male counsellor, I can cater for those who would, perhaps, prefer to talk to a male and gain a male perspective. Some may struggle with an issue that may seem to be only helped by seeing a male counsellor but all are welcome here.

Music therapy is part of our ‘tool kit’ at Trove Counselling. We look to involve music in our work if appropriate or desired by the client. I have a long history of involvement with the music business as a performer, manager and a technician. Music is a driving force in my life and I see it as a possible therapeutic aid in many situations. As a musician and expert in touring and performance support I can offer focused musical based therapy, including musical appreciation, involvement and use of music in recovery. I can offer practical involvement to allow healing and growth. This will be a tailored and bespoke course of therapy.
