David gained substantial training in counselling and psychology when he trained at Coventry University, and qualified in social work in 1983. While working as a Social Worker, he trained in hypnotherapy, qualifying in 1989, and began practice as a therapist.

He began training in the approach to psychotherapy called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), gained NLP foundation skills certification in 1990, certification as an NLP Practitioner in 1991, and certification as a Master Practitioner in 1997, becoming an NLP Psychotherapist accredited by the NeuroLinguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association, registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. In 1998 he was elected a Fellow of the Hypnotherapy Society.

Today, the work includes staff counselling for a number of large organisations in public and private sectors, and work with private individuals, some of whom have referred themselves, while others have been referred by Medical Practitioners. In addition, he teaches practice development as part of ongoing training for therapists.

His practice has gained a reputation for careful, effective, skilled, and caring work with those suffering from a wide variety of emotional and psychological problems. This has included those suffering from psychosomatic diseases including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, eczema, asthma, psoriasis, migraine headaches, and other symptoms of chronic stress.

In the UK there is no law to prevent anyone at all from calling him/herself a hypnotherapist or psychotherapist, and any reputable therapist will be happy to answer questions about training and therapy practice.
