David Patton

adult and older adult clinical psychologist

With over 30 years experience in the corporate world as a senior HR executive, David understands business and the stresses of juggling parenting, relationships, finances and your career. He has expertise in helping people to navigate through depression, anxiety, trauma and life transitions and to find a healthier balance with habits and addictions, such as drinking, working, sleeping, eating, sex and media use.

David has recently had his practice independently analysed by Novopsych who found that he achieves high treatment effectiveness compared to the average psychologist, the majority of his clients experience a significant reduction in their distress and very few drop out of therapy. He does this by working collaboratively with his clients to help them achieve their treatment goals.
