Registered Counsellor
David Pham
Languages Spoken:
- English
With over 12 years of experience supporting individuals to live a
life that is aligned with their values and aspirations, David brings a
calm presence that opens opportunity for deep reflection and
realisation. Through a shared understanding of the client’s past
experiences and therapeutic preferences, a tailored approach will be
developed to promote personal growth and progress.
Core to the therapeutic relationship is that the client will be heard
and listened to, and will have choice and control on how each session
unfolds. Inspired by Buddhist practices of mindfulness and dedication
toward wisdom and self-actualisation, David approaches the therapy
process with an openness and equanimity that facilitates helpful and
constructive examination of a situation and problem.
While working in a prior role as a clinician, David provided therapy
to individuals with mental health issues that were further complicated
by disability. Working with such diversity formed the foundations of
being eclectic and flexible in therapy approaches. His professional
experience expanded when he went on to operate as a private
practitioner.
Key approaches used are Rogerian Person-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
Throughout the working relationship, a client can feel confident that
they will be able to focus on what they are experiencing and needing to
talk about, without feeling judged or criticised. The process of
accessing therapy is a great step toward realising your inherent
potential, and making meaningful and lasting change.
