Mr David McLaurin Clinical Psychologist

"I have worked with David for many years and would recommend him with confidence to anyone. He has helped me through an innumerable amount of difficult situations and I am incredibly grateful for his patience, understanding, open-mindedness and dry sense of humour."

"David has helped improve my mental health drastically over the past few years. Having had previous bad experiences with Victoria's mental health system, David provided a safe space for open conversation tailored to my needs, and his client-centred approach made me feel like a person, not just another number. Highly recommended David!"

"David is an exceptional therapist. He has worked hard with me, helping me through the trauma of my work burnout, major depression and anxiety. David has assisted me in developing a range of positive coping strategies and has helped me gain far greater insight. It is without hesitation that I would recommend him."

"I’ve been seeing David for almost a year now and I can honestly say that he has been an invaluable and an instrumental factor in the overall wellbeing of my mental health. Over the years, I’ve been struggling with a lot of mental health issues, as well as the effects of past trauma and I have had a lot of counselling but unfortunately without much progress. It wasn’t until I was at breaking point and was thought to be having a nervous breakdown by my family that I finally with a lot of hesitation and reservation on my part decided to seek more professional help in the form of a clinical psychologist. This turned out to be the best decision that I have ever made in my life and I really regret not getting that professional help much earlier. On a professional level, I have found David to be very well versed in his area of expertise, have excellent communication skills and having an uncanny ability of being able to reach the right diagnosis and the best way to treat it - speaking for myself. On a personal level I have found David to be very polite, empathetic, patient, encouraging, easy to talk to and in my case most importantly being truthful (will plainly tell me how it is, not what my ears want to hear). I’m still on my healing journey with David’s help and feel like that I’m closer than ever to the finishing line. I highly recommend him as he has made a difference in my life."

"I cannot recommend David highly enough! He has guided me through one of the the most stressful times in my life. He is engaged, caring and compassionate and has given me practical tools to manage my situation. I continue to see David to this day, and I’m so grateful for all his help."
