Please note:
David’s diary is now booked out for 2026. However cancellations do come in, so please scroll through the October/November Calendar to check that.
We take annual leave in December, then owing to the January 2 Week Living Wisdom School, appointments will not be available until mid-January. The January/February dates will be added to the Calendar late November.
If your request is urgent, please check the list of other counsellors on our Links page as we are sure there will be someone there able to assist.

Face to Face Consultations
These are held in David’s office in Stoke, Nelson NZ. To maximise the consultation, a client would be prudent to book a series of 2 or 3 appointments over several weeks. If a client does not live locally, but wishes to have a face to face appointment, it would be necessary for travel to Nelson to be undertaken. If onsite accommodation is required, it is available at $45 per night (price increases to $50 per night from January 2027) in twin share accommodation. (More details about that on the Accommodation page.)
Online/Phone Consultations
At the time of the appointment David is contactable via phone on +64 (0) 3 547 5728, or Zoom (send a link to office@livingwisdom.co.nz) or WhatsApp (contact number will be advised when you book.)
