Meet David Thorpe

Dave is a Registered Psychologist and PhD student at the University of Adelaide. He has years of experience working with individuals and organisations, helping them think through challenges and threats that arise in life and at work.

Dave’s approach is practical and collaborative. Together, you identify what is actually driving the problem, test the assumptions behind it, and build strategies that fit your life. Sessions are paced to your needs, with no jargon and no one-size-fits-all formula.

Whether you are an individual looking for support or an organisation seeking to strengthen how your team copes with demands and challenges, Dave can help you move from feeling overwhelmed to knowing your next step.

He is currently undertaking a PhD researching behavioural addiction prevention and interventions.

Dave believes strongly in working in tandem with you. Goals are set collaboratively, so the work stays focused on what matters to you. He works within approaches with strong research support, with a particular focus on:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Motivational Interviewing
• Solution-focused problem solving

Sometimes an approach doesn’t fit, and that’s okay. We treat it as a data point rather than a failure. Together we review what happened and test a different approach, always in service of your wellbeing goals.
