David Tidsall
I believe we can have close relationships in which we are open to appreciating and living with each others similarities and differences. I have a keen interest in how we go about our relationships. I believe each of us can find ways to improve how we get on with others while maintaining a good sense of ourselves.
I like to find ways to live my life creatively, this may be by finding a solution to a problem or by creating something new. I believe that we can all live our lives creatively and that sometimes we need to find how to release this potential. In my own journey I have sought to find my own creative expression and had to confront limiting beliefs that held me back.
I have undertaken extensive training in counselling and psychotherapy and have acquired experience in my counselling and psychotherapy practice since 1997.
