Real stories of growth and change.

  • “Having counselling with David was a great source of support and guidance for me. He is very compassionate, understanding, and respectful, he was someone who I felt always listened to me and gave me space to express myself without judgment.”

    S.S

  • “I can’t recommend David enough; he helped me through some really dark times and got me through it. He is compassionate and is a great listener. Thanks for everything David."

    M.S

  • “Working with David at Roles We Play was incredibly helpful for me during a difficult time in my life. David is a skilled and highly professional therapist, who took the time to really understand my situation and help me develop tools and strategies to move forwards.”

    L.C

  • "As an actor, I was constantly battling self-doubt and pressure to always be ‘on’. Working with David gave me space to be real, not perform, sorting through my own stuff has made me feel more grounded and it’s made a big difference in my acting too."

    D.C

  • “I went to see David because my temper was getting out of hand and I didn’t like the way I was talking to my partner and kids, but I couldn’t seem to stop it. Working with him helped me understand where it was coming from and how to deal with it before it got to that point. It’s made a huge difference, not just for me, but for my family too. I feel more in control and a lot calmer than I have in years.”

    K.F

  • "After a big life change, I just felt lost. I didn’t know what I was doing with myself, and I couldn’t find any motivation to do anything. Working with David helped me make sense of what I was going through and figure out what was important to me."
