Hello my name is David and I am the founder of Take Control Counselling Therapy here on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. My journey to becoming a counsellor has been fuelled by my previous work within Corrections, Paramedics, and Child Safety. Within these organisations I have worked closely with people of all ages, from every background, situation and incident imaginable. I knew early on in my career that I had a deep desire to assist and support people through their challenges in life, and so I set about gaining not only as much hands on experience as possible but also academic knowledge and training. Fast forward some fifteen years, and here I am, ready, willing and able to assist you.
I provide counselling for a wide variety of presentations ranging from anxiety and depression through to complex trauma and substance dependency. My therapeutic style will vary depending upon what may work for you but often I like to draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Brief Solution Focused Therapy. I can offer sessions within the comfort and privacy of your own home, and often these can be conducted outside of normal hours, during evenings and weekends. 
Please feel free to contact me directly or through my email so we can discuss and plan how together we can design and take the positive steps towards achieving your goals and best life.
