Reviews of David Bowerman Therapy And Coaching

M. S.

After over 15 years of countless therapists, counsellors, medication, doctors referrals to different organisations getting passed pillar to post.. safe to say my depression & anxiety only got increasingly worse as well as my opinion on therapy. David has completely rewritten my views on therapy as a whole through our sessions, as well as allowing me to manage and feel so much better within myself everyday & stay present. His honesty and ability to offer new perspective's makes the conversations so refreshing vs other experiences I have previously had with other professionals & well being services. Honestly couldn't recommend or thank David enough for his help.

R.

I really enjoyed my sessions with David, we had eye-opening conversations that allowed me to have a different perspective on stress and anxiety. I have been feeling really peaceful and confident since. He is really kind and understanding and I would definitely recommend him! ☺️

B.

David has completely transformed how I look at my daily life, and helped me shake off anxieties and stresses I thought would be with me forever. David is down to earth and relatable, and genuinely a pleasure to talk to and I would strongly recommend sessions to anyone who is searching for honest and effective therapy.

R. W.

David helped me enormously. Overall, I feel much calmer, more resilient and happier. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks so much David!

M.

It has been a pleasure to talk with David, he is down to earth and relatable and I feel fortunate to have selected him as my therapist. I have learnt how to deal with potentially difficult situations much better than I ever thought was possible. It has helped me to develop a new perspective on life and become more resilient to external factors, and deal with situations more easily that could have previously caused stress, anxiety and anger. I would say that David has made an immeasurable difference to my everyday quality of life, and couldn't recommend him enough to anyone who is struggling on any level.

K. S.

Before i started having sessions with David i felt hopeless, anxious and depressed... after sessions with him i am now able to go through life in a calm and happy manner and i have recently got my dream job i never thought i could get but with his help i now feel like i can do anything! He is a wonderful therapist and makes you feel so comfortable and is calm and patient. Thank you so much David :)

R. S.

David is a fantastic therapist, very understanding, personable and pleasure to deal with. He has helped me in multiple ways, especially in how I approach and react to every day situations. He has opened my eyes to a lot of things in life and I am grateful for his help with this. I would highly recommend David to anyone, he has a very refreshing approach.

J. C.

David has been a huge help, I cannot recommend him enough. His calming and reassuring nature has helped me through very difficult times. I really enjoyed the sessions and cannot thank him enough for all his help.

D. O.

I thoroughly recommend his services if you want to think in a much more helpful way through anything that life throws at you. David enabled me to help myself. I know he can do the same for you too.

J. P.

David is an extremely patient and understanding person. He listened to all my worries and concerns without any judgement and taught me a lot during our sessions. He helped me get through a really tough time and I can't thank him enough! I'm truly grateful for his help and I'm in a much better place now. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

E.

David is very kind, attentive & genuine person, & with a great sense of humour ;-). The atmosphere during our sessions was always very uplifting, with David opening the doors to new insights, for me to see a life from a totally different perspective. I didn't need to wait long to see an improvement in my life. Couldn't have asked for a better person to help me with the challenges I was facing. Very grateful. Thank you David =^.^=

J. H.

I'm so grateful for having David help me through a difficult time in my life. Sessions are warm, welcoming and insightful. I immediately feel at ease discussing topics I no longer feel comfortable talking about with family and friends. His approach is professional, but he isn't afraid to interject light humour and personal anecdotes that immediately help break down any awkwardness or negative stigmas. I believe I've become much more mindful since working with David, and would recommend to anyone who needs a helping hand.

N. B.

I would highly recommend David. After a long time of feeling uncomfortable and stuck with my life, I contacted David after reading the reviews on google. I started to feel more comfortable very quickly, and it has given me the confidence to keep discovering how to use the lessons in other parts of my life.

R. B.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with David. He is very kind, caring and really listens (non-judgementally). I approached him at a point in my life where things were reasonably good, which gave us a really strong platform to work from. He has helped me understand my thinking better and unravel some old unhelpful thinking patterns that I occasionally slip in to. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist or coach.

D. W.

David is extremely kind. His light humour throughout sessions always calmed me and I would leave each feeling optimistic and confident regardless of how I'd been feeling before. I have had invaluable understandings, and those around me have noticed changes within myself that frankly would not have occurred without his help.

C. H.

Having had sessions with David for only 4 months, friends and family have remarked on the positive impact it’s had on me. I first contacted David for help with anxiety and already feel so much more empowered in situations that would have normally sent me into a spin. His sessions are structured but informal with a two way discussion which I really valued. The best bit for me is that I have learnt something so simple but so powerful that I can build on myself as I go through life and have more experiences. I couldn’t recommend David and his work more highly.

H. C.

Working with David changed my life. I never thought that therapy could be so simple and yet so powerful. I have recommended friends and family to David and feel confident he would have a positive impact on them too. His approach is very welcoming and professional.

U. 3.

I quickly felt able to relax with David - he was kind, humorous and quick to understand the problems that I was undergoing. We soon built a great working relationship and what I learnt from him in 6 weeks has been invaluable in dealing with the stresses or complications of everyday life. Thank you, David, and I look forward to working with you again soon! James

M. T.

Never felt better! David is very insightful and caring. I had a number of sessions with Him and it has genuinely changed my life. If you are struggling or just want a deeper understanding of life and yourself, David WILL help you.

M. L. -. C. S.

I started working with David after seeing great results in my partner. He began sessions with him during a particularly stressful time for both of us, and after their calls together, I noticed he seemed a lot less overwhelmed and more gentle with himself. We had both become parents for the first time as well as dealing with our first experience of the pandemic and a lockdown. My personal struggles were around the loss of confidence and self-esteem I felt post-birth. I had chronic anxiety in the lead up to and after my birth as well as insomnia, panic attacks and feeling a great sense of failure. I really believed I had failed due to the downward spiral that my mental health took after such a big change in our lives. I was also expecting to feel more of the positive feelings I had imagined I would feel, when becoming a mum for the first time. I began to have sessions with David when my baby was about nine months old. At this point, I was still struggling with feelings of guilt and shame as to how things went post-birth particularly my inability to breastfeed my baby exclusively. There have been a lot of shifts since we began working together. The main experience I now have is a great sense of self-worth and self-love. I am no longer aiming for perfection when it comes to my parenting journey. I understand where my feelings are coming from and this gives me great power to make new choices and relate to myself with so much more ease when I'm feeling low or having a 'bad' day. I parent from a place of connection and presence and am less concerned with how I think I should be doing it and what others may think. I am more centred, grounded and peaceful. My partner and I continue to see David regularly and continue to feel more at ease as the journey goes on. I am deeply grateful to work with a coach/therapist that offers such a great understanding of where our feelings are coming from and the relationship they play in our physical and mental health. It's taken time and patience but I am so much more well in all ways as a result of showing up again and again and giving myself that space. I am no longer 'trying' to feel well I just feel well and there is no effort in that experience. Thank you David.

M. P.

Working with David has been incredibly impactful on me. He is constantly a calm, insightful presence, and is absolutely committed to helping his clients. Since working with David, I have found myself more able to live "in the moment", my negative thoughts about my career and being a musician have dropped away. In my piano playing, in particular, I was plagued with negative thinking and self doubt; David helped me see through my misunderstanding and find a more joyful, curious way of playing. A session with David leaves me feeling calm, secure, positive about life, and spiritually connected. Highly recommended!

M. R.

David is a very genuine person. I always felt comfortable during our sessions and that's down to David's character. Incredibly educated in what he does and he seemed to have the answer to everything I threw at him. Can't recommend highly enough.

C. R.

I actually found David Bowerman through Google reviews when searching for some professional help/guidance so what better place to finish than where I started… (a few months later)…I never write reviews but as I benefitted from other people’s contributions of their experiences here, I hope this might help. I had been feeling lost; had been going through a challenging time both personally and professionally and was generally wound up, frustrated and cross with both myself and the world. David is very empathetic although he doesn’t get too involved in your story. He is quite funny and really very sweet and kind. He is sharp and intelligent. I have never actually met him in person as we did all our meetings on Zoom. I recorded one session that we did (with permission) but even though it made me cringe to look back on it, there was so much wisdom in what he said. …..ten miles deep He has helped me to self-correct. Having been lost, I feel gently nudged and pointed back on the path. I am not quite sure how he works his magic but I think he, undoubtedly, has a gift. I feel a deep sense of gratitude to have found some well-being again and thank both him and the reviewers for pointing me in his direction. Good luck.

J. K.

Having spent time with other counsellors and therapists and felt frustrated at lack of progress, David was a breath of fresh air. He immediately made me feel at ease with intelligence and humour, while challenging me to think differently. Working with David has had a positive impact on my life and I would wholeheartedly endorse his services.

D. A.

David is a really genuine and decent guy with a uniquely insightful perspective on a whole host of things. His sessions are very easy and comfortable and he does a really great job of making sure everything he tells you has relevance to you specifically. I personally was hesitant about doing sessions of this sort because of a preconceived notion of therapy as a very paint-by-numbers sort of affair that could be supplanted with some self-help books and youtube videos, but David really wrings the value out of the human element. There are things I learned from him that have already helped me purge stress and frustration from my life in a huge way and I hope I can take them with me for the rest of my life. Thanks David!

J. N.

David is great at what he does. Through first-hand experience and genuine empathy he creates a space in which people can truly be themselves. His passion for and knowledge of the Three Principles is impressive, and helped me get my head around some tricky thoughts and feelings. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking to get a new perspective on life and / or break free from habitual patterns of behaviour.

S. B.

When I was looking for counselling/therapy I was really worried about getting somebody that would be condescending, too idealistic or patronising, but David was none of these things. In our sessions he provided the perfect balance of sympathy and reality which really helped me to come to terms with how I was feeling. David is personable, encouraging and educated and I couldn't recommend him more.

A. R.

David is a fantastic therapist who has had a huge impact on my life and particularly work. He is very easy to talk to and often funny! I would recommend David to anybody who has been thinking about therapy.

L. D.

David has helped me see life in a completely different way. His very calm and sometimes humorous way of guiding sessions made me feel at ease completely. I’m so glad I found him to help me

M. T.

I'd recommend coaching with David. He brings a warmth and acceptance that lets you know right away that you're in good hands. He's committed to continual learning to deepen his own understanding to benefit his clients. After a coaching session with David, I always felt I had access to greater levels of energy and the ability to focus on putting into action whatever needed to happen next.

T. E.

David is an excellent coach, his down to earth and warm approach have literally changed my family’s life for the better since we first met him. His thoughtful and genuine manner make it easy to talk to him & a good sense of humour really helps too!

S. K.

I'd been wanting to try therapy for quite some time and I'm really glad I went with David. I'd had an idea of what it would be like in my head but this was a lot better than my expectations. It didn't take long for me to start seeing changes and how I approach situations. Thanks, David!

p. o. m.

I have always struggled to discuss my weaknesses and insecurities with other people. An anxious disposition and propensity to over analyze matters does not help either. David calm, understanding and sometimes lightly humored approach made me feel instantly at ease. I have felt calmer, more productive and more content within myself. I have David to thank for that.

A. O.

David gave me amazing new insight that has really helped my anxiety. He is a great listener, insightful, sensitive and funny! I will continue to learn from the sessions we spent together for a long time!

H. P.

I used to suffer badly from anxiety and often got stuck feeling down. Since working with David, I don’t get stuck feeling down in that way. As a result my anxiety is at all time low and I am able to do more than ever. David’s sessions have been absolutely transformative, I would highly recommend him as a therapist.

A. S.

David has helped me so much over he last four years - it started with my severe anxiety and over thinking. now he also helps coach me in all aspects of my life from Trying to make it in the DJ scene to my business, his ability to talk to you on a level and help you understand your thinking is amazing !

E. H.

“Working with David has meant I see a joy in life I have never been able to reach before. I used to have regular anxiety attacks, now I rarely get them, if ever. Talking with him has improved my relationship with myself, the world, and other people.”

T. B.

During my final year at Oxford university I had to drop out due to severe anxiety and depression, after a few weeks of regular sessions with David I began to experience profound shifts in my thinking, well-being and resilience. With his help I was able to resume my studies the following year and successfully complete my degree.

A. M.

As a 24 year old lad,I was very hesitant about therapy as I didn't really understand it and how it worked. After meeting with David, I realised what a down to earth and approachable person he is. We can talk about literally anything at ease and have adapted the sessions to my daily needs. Would highly recommend it to anyone struggling or wanting to improve their mental state.

R. E.

David is kind, understanding and very easy to talk to. I have learnt a lot from David and our sessions have helped me a great deal. I wholeheartedly recommend him!
