It was the end of last year (2009) when I got in touch with David Glynn through a scheme my work provides for its employees. It’s called EAP (Employee Assistance Program) which helps with personal / work problems. I had a personal problem at that time – it was a break up of my marriage leading to me living alone with 2 kids as well as working full time.
It was before Christmas when I really needed support. I got to see David for six subsequent counselling sessions. The sessions were very relaxed in a homely atmosphere. David really helped me and at the end of each session I felt stronger. I could deal with everyday obstacles and problems.
He was very professional and excellent at his job and he did not feel like a stranger but like a friend. Very kind natured and open minded, David not only listens but always had a plan for me to follow if I encountered different situations in life, which I felt were impossible to deal with. Also tools to use when I felt like. “All is lost and there is no hope for me in the world”. “I can’t cope on my own” – especially that Ireland is not my native country, but I’ve been living here for number of years. He made me stronger mentally and made me believe in myself. I’m very grateful to David for that.

I undertook to go and talk to David this year when I realised that I had a few personal issues that were troubling me. I am in "the caring profession" myself and sometimes it can be a little daunting for a colleague "in the trade" to deal with a fellow professional. I found David to be a safe pair of hands and just right for my needs at the time. He was attentive, very professional, understanding, nicely challenging and humorous. He provided "an intelligent sounding board" for me. I found , after six interesting and emotionally healing conversations / sessions with him, that I felt clearer in my own mind about what I needed to do to bring about the changes that I desired in my life. I am happy to recommend him.

David Glynn is an exceptional counsellor, my experience with David proved to be enlightening, challenging and definitely life changing. Before going to counselling I knew deep down that something was wrong however I decided to be proactive and in trying to improve myself I sought to get professional help. After researching counsellors in the area, I decided to meet with David based on his educational background and testimonials.
After my first session with David I felt that I had established an immediate connection with him. I trusted in his method and the counselling process progressed steadily. With David’s help I was able to make the changes required in my life and began to feel better because of this. After adhering to helpful suggestions and ideas brought up in the sessions I was able to establish a sense of both peace and happiness that I hadn’t experienced in some time. David, without a doubt, helped me turn my life around in a most positive way. Based on my experience, I would suggest that David is an excellent counsellor. I have a huge respect for his ability, effectiveness and professionalism. I would recommend, without hesitation, David as someone to definitely consider when searching for individual counselling services.

During our four sessions together, I found David to be both a warm and friendly person and a very fine therapist. He made it easy for me to clarify and discuss difficulties and his suggestions for dealing with problems were very effective. With his help and encouragement, I was enabled to deal with the issues that arose. If, in the future, I have any further worries, I will have no hesitation in contacting him again.

When I first started seeing David I was struggling with feelings anxiety and depression as a result of personal issues. However, David was instrumental in helping me overcome these troubles. I attended counselling sessions with David once a week over a period of 3 months.
He provided a most thoughtful understanding and a sensitive approach to issues, offering alternative ways of approaching feelings and problems. David showed great care and interest in me and was always eager to think of new ways or ideas to help. After attending counselling with David I have made a remarkable improvement in enjoyment of daily life and relationships with those around me. I am incredible grateful for David's help, I genuinely can't recommend him highly enough and see him as an excellent counsellor who would benefit anyone.
